Sorry, that wasn't a very helpful statement - it's what you're saying already.



Presumably she pays for her own travel/mobile/clothes/etc. The only thing you are really buying for her is food. Keep all your receipts for a week or two, to keep track of what you are spending, and take it from that.



How about getting her to start cooking, perhaps by making dinner a couple of times a week? Does she do the laundry, or take the bins out, or vacuum? All these are things that would make life easier for you, that you can't necessarily give a money value to, but are a valuable contribution to the household. Not to mention a preparation for when she runs her own household!
