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!!

@Withoutfearorfavour enter hang dog smile and vague attempt at cleaning.
Edited to add: I read the first post of this thread and he has a games console in that spare room so he’s hardly suffering is he?
And there is plenty of money in that low interest account so let him go and find somewhere.
And being ‘even more firm’ means letting him stay after abusing the house - again - I am not sure posters can offer advice which is heard.

He says he is going to go to a friends first thing tomorrow and he is sleeping in the spare room tonight so I don’t have to see him.

That is not an option that’s available to him and not a decision that he can make.
He needs to leave now otherwise you will call the police.
Do Not back down on this otherwise he is not leaving tomorrow I promise you

MeridianB · 20/04/2025 19:25

Locks changed as soon as he’s gone, OP. Please don’t hesitate.

He says the hotels are all extortionate or full up because it’s Easter

Frankly, not your problem.

It's harsh but he's brought it on himself.

Think of the relief when he's gone.

I don’t want the police to turn up and make a scene, I own my house and it will embarrassing in front of the neighbours.

He has told me he is asking around and seeing if he can go to any of his friends.

He has left the kitchen in an absolute state, I have had to scrub alcohol stains and someone has tried to throw a takeaway container with bright red sauce in the bin and it’s gone all up the wall behind it.

Big hugs …. I’m so sorry @JadeySmiles you must be in shock and sad. What a misogynistic prick he turned out to be. Once he is out give yourself a big cuddle and bubble bath and time to be sad. Then you can be grateful that you didn’t add him to the mortgage….

HomeTheatreSystem · 20/04/2025 19:04

Why can't he go to his parent's house? They surely have a sofa he can doss on? He's trying to grind you down OP and is hoping you'll relent tomorrow.

itsobviousright · 20/04/2025 19:01

Do you have a strong willed friend or family member who can come round? Hes an absolute loser - he can go home to mummy and tell her why hes been kicked out. He leaves, or you call the police - your house, your rules,.and right now he is trespassing

WiddlinDiddlin · 20/04/2025 18:59

And please don't be worried about the police turning up.

It'll be two officers quietly in a car, it won't be a riot bus and wham-rams, sirens screaming, lights flashing.

If your neighbours ask, you had a problem, they helped you resolve it, you don't take any shit. What on EARTH could be embarrassing about that?

WiddlinDiddlin · 20/04/2025 18:57

But you know his Mummy and Daddy have a chunk of money for him, in an easy to access account, so he can absolutely afford any hotel he likes.

Or if they're keen he doesn't waste those funds on a hotel, he can crash on their sofa.

He has lots of options.

He does not prefer them to cocklodging with you.

He, his finances, his living arrangements, are no longer your problem.

Not your problem to fix. Stop feeling sorry for him, he's brought it on himself.

What kind of scene are you expecting if the police turn up? Is he going to kick and scream at them while they drag him out in handcuffs in front of the whole street? No of course not. You tell him he either leaves or you will call the police, he whinges, you start dialling, he won't wait for them to turn up. Problem solved.

Let him stay then and tomorrow, when he's got over his hangover, he'll persuade you he's very sorry, he'll pull his socks up, it won't happen again and you'll believe that this time you've really got through to him.....until the next time.

Your problem because?

You've given him ample opportunity to get his act together / prove to you he can pull his weight. HE has shown he gives zero fucks for you/your opinions/ your standards. If no room at parents or a house share, paying for a hotel is the consequence of his behaviour/choices. Call the police.

Don't be more of an idiot that you admit you have been already. He knows that you're worried about what others would think - it's exactly why he's refusing to leave quietly.

The police won't smash the door down. They'll come quietly, knock on the door and suggest that he leaves the easy way. He'll be too chickenshit to tell them to fuck off. Because they're male, usually.

Cells are free, though. So if all else fails, he'll have somewhere to go if Mummy can't sub him a few quid - considering he's apparently got savings from not paying his way in terms of rent, pretty sure he'd be able to afford something anyhow.

"I don’t want the police to turn up and make a scene, I own my house and it will embarrassing in front of the neighbours."

You've always got an excuse.

Your neighbors will respect you when they see you act decisively ending a bad situation.

mummytrex · 20/04/2025 18:50

He can get somewhere pretty quick. He has savings he can get a room share short term worst case scenario. I'd be minded to get him out asap before he talks you round. He can sleep on parents sofa - will motivate him to find somewhere sharpish. Call the police if he won't leave. Do you have anyone that can help?

You’ve got to be bloody kidding. This has to be a wind up.

PeggyMitchellsCameo · 20/04/2025 18:50

Make a bloody scene. Stop being so passive. He has got a hangover and you are cleaning the walls? His mates seem to come running to go the pub or trash your house. And now he’s making calls?
What advice did you seriously expect to get on here?

sparepantsandtoothbrush · 20/04/2025 18:49

Is he bothered that the relationship has ended because of his actions OP?

outerspacepotato · 20/04/2025 18:48

Where he goes is not your problem. He has family and friends and he's saved a couple months rent so it's not like he's broke.

If you want him out, tell him he's got two hours to pack his shit and leave. If he's not out, the police will assist him to leave and his shit will be placed outside the door.

Please don't let him make this your problem - because it's not! He can stay with friends or at a hotel or on a park bench. IT'S NOT YOUR PROBLEM.

JadeySmiles · 20/04/2025 18:09

I know I’m opening myself up to a lot of ‘I told you so’s’ but I do genuinely need some advice here.

I’ve asked him to move out. I didn’t end up going out yesterday so was here when his friends were round. They made a tight mess in the kitchen and my partner said ‘it’s okay, Jadey will clear up’ as if I’m some sort of skivvy.

When he got home, he crashed in at 2am and was sick in the downstairs bathroom, all over the floor which I discovered this morning.

He says he has no where to go and I will need to wait for him to find somewhere..

He doesn't have a legal interest in your house.

Call the police and advised that he's refusing to leave at the end of your relationship. Scary, isn't he?
