DP and I not on great terms at the moment.

DD is 14 (not his). We live together.

I was in the kitchen folding washing with DD and she mentioned her pj bottoms had faded abit, not in a rude way, just generally.

’D’P then loudly said from the other room ‘so ungrateful’!

I went in and asked who he was talking to, apparently it was DD, he could see my reaction so tried to laugh it off.

DD and I went upstairs for a while, came back down and he wanted me to apologise for ‘over reacting’ to the comment. Adding that he is sick of ‘emotional women’ in the house. He then made some shity comments about ‘don’t even ask me to apologise or I’ll actually laugh’

Suddenly have massive ick and he is sulking

Yup

In that case, I'd tell him if he's sick of living with emotional women, he knows where the door is and he can use it and fuck off!

Wigglywoowho · 08/12/2024 19:09

He's a cocklodger.

If you are in a rolling monthly contract then I would tell him you want him out by the date before you next pay rent or you will give notice and move out yourself.

In the meantime I'd change the passwords for everything you pau for that he doesn't contribute to. I'd stop doing, shopping cooking, laundry etc and only do shit for you and your kid.

Of course this loser that pays for little wanted the security of it.

Absolutely unbelievable.
Your poor poor daughter.

He's a total loser who now thinks he is so comfortable he can have a pop atvyour daughter.
Shameful behaviour.

Get him out.

Contact your Landlord and ask for it to be cancelled and a new tenancy started.

Why would you put a man paying nothing on the tenacy of your childs home.
Unbelievable.

No wonder his family think he is a loser.

Involve the police if he becomes aggressive.

I can understand being so casual with your childs home and security.

No wonder she is not keen on him, but that doesn't matter to you.
Your poor daughter.
So sad.

I don't see the partner's issue really - items like clothes fade in time, just a fact? If she had been saying it to a brand new pair of pjs in a whiny voice, then I'd understand it, but if she's had them for a while...

MostlyHappyMummy · 08/12/2024 19:02

When he was added to the tenancy did you discuss that he would need to pay half the rent?

MinnieGirl · 08/12/2024 19:02

Don’t say anything to him until you’ve spoken to your landlord. As you are on a rolling contract he may agree to let you give notice and then restart a contract in your name only. If not ask if he has any other properties you could rent and give notice and move. Let him stay and deal with rent and bills
Also worth contacting women’s aid for assistance. Keep things to yourself until you have a plan, don’t give him any ammunition.
And never add anyone to your tenancy again!

I suppose I was in love with him. There was pressure from him that he was no longer getting along with his family living with them. He missed me all the time. He wanted to spend more and more time together which was difficult when we living apart.

And it is definitely true that you don’t know someone until you have lived with them!!

I'm getting a lot of "He wanted", "He missed you", "he wasn't getting along with his family"....

Question - what did YOU want? Were you pressured into letting him stay???

So either...you don't know the full story, or this didn't happen.
The Police can suggest he go elsewhere to avoid a breach of the peace. They can even arrest to avoid a breach of the peace. They can't evict him from his home or stop him from returning unless there are bail cons or a legal order like a DVPO.

I was there, he was told he could get in his car and leave otherwise he was getting in their car and leaving but either way he was not staying in that house.
There was no question of her leaving and the subsequent legal advice was he was to stay away.
So if it’s good for the ex sister-in-law, Ive no doubt it’ll work out in a similar manner for the OP who were all supporting and whose side we’re on remember.

DD is at her dad’s tomorrow night. I’m going to speak to him about ending the relationship. I am confident that he will dig his heels in and not want to move out. He has burned bridges with most of his family.

He is absolutely going to say that I’m ending the relationship because of xyz, crappy reasons but deep down I don’t care.

Do it whilst you have the momentum. H

Could be worse, could be no man at all.

Speaking from experience, could be a whole lot BETTER.

Ye I’d much rather be alone for every second of the rest of my life than be stuck with an arsehole! That includes friends too.

I really wouldn't be having a conversation about ending the relationship.
I'd be presenting it as a done deal and that the comments he made to your DD last night, whether he realised them at the time or not, were the final nail in the coffin.

You can turf him out at any stage. I'm going to assume that his name isn't on any documentation regarding accommodation (deeds/rental agreements/mortgage/whatever) and you really could just bag up all of his stuff and leave it out on the front step? I wouldn't be interested in anything further he might have to say and I would stay firm on the fact that you are looking out for your DD as well as yourself.

Oh good, off he fucks then.

Jabbabong · 08/12/2024 18:56

Obviously mumsnet will take your side but if you are not on great terms generally the must be a backstory to this.

Is your daughter generally ungrateful?

Onthesideofthespiders · 08/12/2024 18:25

Oh FFS. Well, good luck. You’re not getting him out.

You put him on the tenancy when he doesn’t even contribute? And you moved him in because “love” when you’re daughter didn’t even like him and you gave absolutely no thought to that.

You’ll have to give notice and move out I guess. Leave him with the tenancy and start over.

This I'm afraid. It is not that anyone wants to be hard on you; but I just can't understand why you would let him sweet talk you in adding him to your tenancy, for no benefit and to the detriment not just of you but also - especially - your daughter.

Being 'fiercely independent' is not enough, you have to also be astute.

There will be a way out of this but your agreeing to add him to the tenancy has made things much harder than they need have been. I agree you need to get expert legal advice and talk to your landlord to explain the situation.

2025willbemytime · 08/12/2024 18:52

He missed you. Wanted to be with you more.

What about what you wanted? What about what was best for your Dd?

She really doesn’t care for him tbh. They seem to get on, she is always polite to him but they tend to rub along really

Why does he live in her house then? Why would you force your daughter to live with someone she doesn't actively like?

My brother walked into his house that he was on the mortgage of. Caught his wife with her knickers down.
He shouted a bit, the police were called. Who do you think got removed from the property ?

It really doesn’t take very much to be removed. The police don’t like shouting people.

So either...you don't know the full story, or this didn't happen.
The Police can suggest he go elsewhere to avoid a breach of the peace. They can even arrest to avoid a breach of the peace. They can't evict him from his home or stop him from returning unless there are bail cons or a legal order like a DVPO.

I'd do it for her if she was the sole tenant beforehand and a good one.

Yes me too

toucheee · 08/12/2024 18:47

Onthesideofthespiders · 08/12/2024 18:31

Doesn’t matter. She put him on the tenancy. It is legally his home. No one can remove him. OP can choose to leave though, get herself off the tenancy and let him deal with the rent.

Why jump to doom and gloom before getting all the facts?

Onthesideofthespiders · 08/12/2024 18:46

MyPithyPoster · 08/12/2024 18:44

He was told to go away, threatened with arrest if he came back.
And was told it was a civil matter when he mentioned collecting his clothes.
Some of you live in la la land you really do, the law protects those with possession. And the money to pursue it. This fella has neither the brains nor the means by the sounds of it.

That didn’t happen.
