So, I get it now. He reckons he's found a carer for his parents who also pays his mortgage.

Get rid of this turd, please.

He's in pole position for Twat of the Year 2026. @hebemumsnet could we not have a place to move threads during the course of the year - a bit like classics - which we can then vote on who wins in each of several CF categories?

If you don’t like this spreadsheet, I have others …

🤣🤣🤣

@HolyCheeses He will be so so hurt and heartbroken once he realises you won't be paying for his lavish house, crippling mortgage and renovations. Ya big meanie 😉

SaveMeFromMyBoobs · 22/04/2026 20:19

Arsehole. I would say you can point out several facts.

You were not consulted on finances despite asking multiple times. The fact he's gone from all of you contributing fairly to you funding 50%. There are 4 adults in the house. Even not taking into account how much each earn you should be paying maximum 25%. They're his parents. Its not your job to cover for them or be lined up to help care for them.

But tbh if you're done (which you should be) then I'd go with JADE. You don't need to justify, argue, defend or explain. Simply this relationship doesn't work for you and you're breaking up with him.

BB: "My Mother will be so sad, she was really looking forward to seeing you more often, it will break her heart, how could you do that to an old lady"

BB I think you've broken my heart into 1000 pieces. I had no idea that all you cared about was money.

I admire your scruples in a face to face dumping but I’m not at all sure he deserves them!

Whatsappweirdo · 22/04/2026 19:55

Enraged on your behalf op!

RaininSummer · 22/04/2026 19:40

We have to wait until next week to hear his responses! This is worse than waiting for the next episodes of The Testaments to land.

Just posting my Bullshit Bingos from the other thread as a PMK.

BS Bingo

"You do realize that this means the end for us" (Yes, yes I realize you will have already told him this. He'll say it anyway)

"Your DC will be so disappointed"

"We can always negotiate" (this will be said in an effort to get you 'in the door' at a lower rate and then demand you increase your 'contribution' after you have no place else to go)

@HolyCheeses Sorry if I've missed it, but do you know when you'll be speaking to him?

kohlrabislaw · 22/04/2026 19:36

BB. The dogs might have to be rehomed.

@HolyCheeses if you are not going to tell him until next week, how are you communicating with him in the meantime? Do you think he has any inkling that you have changed your mind?

Yes big time. Although most of the messages are asking for decisions regarding design etc
Im sending occasional messages

Don’t want to dump by text doesn’t sit right with me.

BB - I’m doing this for all of us.

Scampuss · 22/04/2026 19:24

When will you break the news to him @HolyCheeses ?

PrizedPickledPopcorn · 22/04/2026 19:23

But this was supposed to our home!

FamBae · 22/04/2026 19:19

I'm going with "but I was going to ask you to marry me 😫💔"

ZenNudist · 22/04/2026 19:19

He's unbelievable!

Hollycoco · 22/04/2026 19:18

BB: You will never find another man as good as me. I worked hard to create this home for us and our families. You are throwing it all away and will end up old and alone. No-one else will ever want you.

CautiousLurker2 · 22/04/2026 19:12
