Sorry in advance if I ramble!
Me and DP moved into our first place together May 2013, on the premise that I would cover the rent and bills until he was able to contribute his part.
However 9 months down the line, there have been 2 interviews and an e-commerce website set up. I mean, I'm so happy and proud of what he's managed to achieve with it, but none of the income is coming back into the house (aside from a few quid here and there for emergencies). In addition to this, he's also a non-professional carer for my MIL.
AIBU in expecting maybe slightly more of a contribution?
As much as I've tried not to let it bother me, I can't help feeling like I'm being taken advantage of financially, especially now it's been going on so long.
As well as the bills, I have been lending him money for bits and bobs, not that I've seen a penny back.
It does sound as if the relationship is all about the money we don't have, but we are very much in love and do really enjoy each other's company. But our financial situation is putting a strain on that.
Any advice?
