To regret moving DP in to my house

Hi all, the previous topic isn’t accepting new posts so I thought I’d update here.

We have had the conversation about split of
chores, DP said he can chip in ‘as and when needed’ but he didn’t have a suggested split as I hoped which was frustrating.

He says he feels a bit awkward with getting stuck in given he doesn’t own the house and thinks he will be more comfortable once he is on the Mortgage and asked me when that will be. I said I want to wait and see how things go over the next few months as we get used to living with each other.

He was a bit funny with this and suggested I’m backtracking on an agreement. But we didn’t ever set a timeline. He says his Mum has
told him the funds she/his Dad are gifting are currently in a low paying interest account and if he doesn’t take them soon they’ll fix them for a year so he needs to hurry up if he wants them.

I said this doesn’t change my feelings and we need to see how things go. He seems to be sulking now and has been on his games console in the spare bedroom since dinner, which he criticised and said he’s getting fed up with the same vegan meals. I told him he’s welcome to cook for us tomorrow!!

I’m at my friends now, thanks everyone for the supportive messages x

You are so frustrating! Make sure he leaves in the morning. Bill him, send a copy to his parents, for the damage he leaves.

OP isn’t listening.

WeHaveTheRabbit · 20/04/2025 21:40

Oh, dear. Please go back home and ask your friend to join you there. As many PPs have said, it is not a wise choice to leave your ex alone in your house.

One of my friends lives close and has said I can stay with her tonight if I want, then he will be gone tomorrow.

Are you for real? Have you seriously thought it’s ok to let HIM stay in YOUR house, alone?

HE has to leave, he has to leave tonight, not your problem where he goes but he MUST go now. And you call the police to make sure he does go.

DON’T sleep in the house while he’s in the spare room.

DON’T leave him in your house.

We can all guess what will happen during the night if you let him stay in the house while you sleep in the other room. We can all guess what will happen if you let him stay and you go elsewhere for the night.

It’s potentially a far worse outcome than your neighbours seeing the police there this evening, before it escalates into a blue-light crisis.

DorothyStorm · 20/04/2025 21:04

Op, you've not listened to all the women predicting this exact behaviour throughout this thread.

LISTEN NOW.

DO NOT LEAVE YOUR HOUSE.

DO NOT LEAVE YOUR HOUSE.

get your friend ti come to you. Bring her boyfriend too if she has one. If she doesnt ring all your friends and get then round.

this man has no respect for you or women.

do not leave him alone in your house.

I’m not ignoring anyone, I’ve replied to any repeated questions..and been clear I’m keeping a very open mind as to how things go in the short term.

If he loves me as much as he says then he will pull his weight - simple.

That last sentence

😂😂😂😂

Do not leave him there. The mates will be back and they'll trash it.

The neighbours would rather a quiet police removal than that!

Calabasas · 20/04/2025 20:28

Agreed he needs to be the one staying at a friends house & giving back your keys not the other way round! He just doesn’t want the stress, hassle & inconvenience. Don’t pander!

WiddlinDiddlin · 20/04/2025 20:26

Please don't leave him alone in your house.

If you feel unsafe, call friends, call the police, but do not leave him alone in your house - if he thinks he can't win you over, he has nothing to lose, you stand a very high chance of returning to find all your stuff trashed and possibly him still refusing to leave.

LOL!

Boy, bye. I would get rid

PeggyMitchellsCameo · 20/04/2025 20:24

So you can find a bed for the night and he can’t?

WeHaveTheRabbit · 20/04/2025 20:21

I really don't think it's a good idea to leave him alone in your house. If you aren't prepared to insist that he leave tonight (with or without the police), could you ask a friend or family member to spend the night with you at your place?

Mrsmouse71 · 20/04/2025 20:20

OlderGlaswegianLivingInDevon · 20/04/2025 20:13

why

where is he going to go tomorrow that he can't go now

you allow that and be prepared to have your house trashed
items stolen
locks changed - just to piss you off

do not leave him alone in your house

Actually this

What are you doing leaving YOUR home.
Honestly OP, one bad decision after another.
Tell HIM to leave.

I wouldn’t leave him in your home either- he will probably trash it, get drunk again and you will have twice the mess!!! Police - out - restraining order if needed

Alwaysinamood · 20/04/2025 20:17

Oh my gosh he’s well and truly has lighted you and now trying to make you feel bad about chucking him out. I definitely think you need to get the police involved. Don’t be embarrassed- he won’t go otherwise. He sounds like a total idiot and even narcissistic- I expect he will turn again and be apologetic.

DollydaydreamTheThird · 20/04/2025 20:16

Get him out now @JadeySmiles. Get a friend or family member round to help you get rid of him. His fault not yours. Do not feel any guilt. He's a total arsehole. He has no respect for you or your home. You are so lucky that he was such a wanker early on. Some wait a while until they have well and truly got their feet under the table to show their true colours. I wish you all the best. It will hurt for a bit but you will look back and feel so relieved you didn't put him on the mortgage or heaven forbid have kids with the lazy fucker.

OlderGlaswegianLivingInDevon · 20/04/2025 20:15

how many friends / family can you get round NOW to hold your hand whilst he leaves tonight

Go now, at least you’ll be safe

I once called the police to evict my partner at the time. They were not aggressive but they were firm. They waited while he packed a few things and then they escorted him away. They reassured me while they waited. It was quiet and efficient. Please, @JadeySmiles , just get him out. Get him gone. He thinks he has the right to do whatever he likes- he thinks he has the right to stay as long as he likes, and that you can’t make him do anything. Please call the police and tell them your now ex will not vacate your home. What if he gets his friends back round? He could open your home up to anyone- in revenge or spite or in a ‘nothing left to lose’ mood.
