So basically, me and my partner have been together for 10 years and have a 4 year old child together. During our relationship we’ve always had our own places. He owns his home and the mortgage is fully paid. I rent privately and he has always lived with me and our child and rarely uses his own home (usually when we’ve fell out haha) he never put anything towards my rent when he’s lived with me but he would throw a tenner here and there on gas and electric and put towards the shopping now and then. Recently I’ve been really struggling with my bills while working part time so I asked him if me and our child could move into his property temporarily so I can leave my home and work as much over time as possible for 8-12 weeks to save up a rent and deposit on a cheaper property and the very first thing he said was. Well you can’t live in there for free you know. Now don’t get me wrong I would make sure there’s always gas and light in there and I’d always fill the fridge and cupboards but the fact he wants actual money off us I’m actually in shock considering all the years he’s lived with me rent free. Bare in mind also that his mortgage is fully paid off and all he has to pay is council tax which still I would be happy to contribute to but I fell like he’s sort of demanded it. I also feel like he’s not even bothered that I’m struggling. I tell him all the time and still he does nothing about it. What can I do guys? I really feel like this is going to be the straw that breaks the camels back I really do feel like I’m in shock I just can’t believe it.
