I've never posted before but here goes. Been with DP for 15 years, two kids 13 and 8. Everything in his name, money all his. Earns 60+ a year, I earn 8k. As I chose to work part time to be around for kids. I am struggling so much with money. I'm getting into debt as he expects me to pay 1/2 bills plus clothes for kids, lunch money's, school trips, birthdays and xmas. Always been this way. On top of that does nothing about house and I mean NOTHING!!! Will make himself a sandwich for lunch not me or kids. NEVER washes up or tidies i even do the garden and cars. Strangely enough, I still love him or maybe I'm too scared to be alone. But it can't continue. Tried talking but on deaf ears. Now he wants to go on a two week holiday costing 6k and wants me to pay half. I burst out crying and said I can't afford it. He said I'm lying that I have no money, asked what I do with my money? Seriously. I still own my old house and rent it, not much of an income from it. No tenant in there at the moment but will be in 2 weeks as ive arranged new tenant so it's decision time. So scared to upset my children/ruin them. My 13 year old is hard work. BTW we're not married. Please......I need advice!
