Partner ex and me

Where do I start.. I used to go out with this guy 20 years ago we split and both moved on, we met again roughly around a year ago, relationship started again. So he constantly calls me his exes name and then tries to make out he didn’t by carrying on conversation like it didn’t just happen, second issue- we now live together and I Own my own home he just pays for food, he said he would help me before he moved in, we have discussed the money but apparently it’s fair him just paying for food as it’s my house, so I pay everything mortgage bills, extra bits daily if we need it, the other day he was stuck with his internet banking and he showed my his account he’s been sending his ex money as well every month, they do have a 18yr who earns his own money. I didn’t say anything because I was so shocked the amounts he was sending nearly every day, he’s told me he doesn’t give her anything and wished he could help me more. He still doesn’t know I know but it’s started causing an issue as he will then call me her name again. They have been split up 5 years. The other day he was talking to his son and he said he will sort his mums car out with parts and ring everyone for her, He went and sat In the car and did it secretly; I am now at a point where I feel he’s still emotionally involved regardless what he says is it time to love on and let him be with his ex? It’s making me really uncomfortable

If you are uncomfortable with it then open your front door and put him out. You don't owe him anything. He seems to be quite happy to live for almost free with you... you don't have to continue.

He'll have somewhere to go... Let him!

He’s living with you but not putting you first. I can’t see what’s in it for you.

Is he fantastic at sex? Is that why you haven’t told him to leave?

He is not worth the effort. His commitment is still elsewhere.

Find some houses like yours to rent.
They will come with a list of running cost.
Tell your DP either he fronts up half of all money to run the house, or he can go.
Be strong, your being used.

I do feel I am in a triangle and I am at the bottom my nature isn’t confrontational so I know I must address this situation sooner rather than let it carry on. He was my first love and I guess That’s where it should of been left. I have said about the bills he reckons it ok as it is, so I will tell him to go and change the locks he can support her as he’s doing anyway so he should really be living there.

It does sound like he is using you OP. He can't expect to live somewhere for free.

A word I learnt on here last week: he is cock lodging. Let him out

Well it's not working is it?
All you need to say is you don't feel he's committed to your relationship so goodbye and don't slam the door on the way out.
You could bring up the continuously calling you the wrong name and his lack of financial contribution if you want to, but what's the point as he knows he's doing it already.

Well.. for him it is.
Blimey, he's doing alright isn't he?
No rent. No bills.
Please wake up and smell the coffee.
You have yourself a cocklodger there.
Stop letting him take advantage of you.
Stop being a door mat.
Does he do half of all the chores as well?
Cooking, cleaning, washing, ironing, shopping, tidying, etc...?

Nope doesn’t do a thing I mean nothing at all, he has moved 179 miles from home, I suppose I have felt a bit guilty over that, but this is now an issue and I am
Not supporting another man especially one that’s not over his ex and one that obviously still very much in contact and financially still supporting her life style, the final insult came the other day when he asked me to pay half for something and I said I can’t afford it because of my out going and he told me to manage my money better.
That is short was the last insult. Emotionally now he’s on his own and soon as the covid restrictions lift he’s gone, I have even found him somewhere to go incase he throws that one at me Grin

You don't have to wait for the Covid restrictions to be lifted.
He doesn't pay his way.
He doesn't do anything to help.
He is an adult and he can fuck off and find somewhere else.
Seriously.
Stop putting up with this.
Time to woman up.
Big girl pants.
Tell him you will help him pack but he goes by Friday!!!
Please stop allowing yourself to be walked all over.
He gets worse and worse the more you write.
If necessary, have a google at on-line assertiveness courses.
Get him gone - THIS WEEK!!!!!!

You don't need to wait until after lockdown. House moving is allowed - especially with relationship breakdown.

If he wants to stay until after lockdown then he immediately pays for half of all bills, except mortgage - although he should pay rent.

Don’t wait till the lockdown is over. You’ll have to wait on him and pay for him until then and you don’t know how long that will be. He can go today can’t he!

No punctuation, Maxboy?

Is that really necessary, Lynda?

No one cares about the Gramma Police.
I think you already knew he was using you.
Mumsnet is great at having your back when you chuck a user out.
The users have no idea that you have support, so think you will just roll over
