to get annoyed at people telling me I should claim to be seperated from dh

[mumofweeboys]

My dh works away and is home max 2 nights a week. The house and all bills are in my name as he is away so much/bit of rubbish credit rating in the past.

Im sick of people saying to me that I should declare myself seperated from my dh to get benefits.

Im sorry to me its wrong and why would I want to pretend my lovely dh isnt my dh anymore for some more money. Dont get me wrong, money is tight and we live frugally but a few extra quid isnt worth the lie and deception.

Oh I had the same when DH worked abroad for a while. Ignore them the twits.

Are these 'friends' who say this?

If so, get some new ones.

And don't lie.

I think if he is only home 2 night a week you are living alone. That's not saying toy are separated, just you don't live together

My own mother tells me to do this and my husband lives with me!!! Argh. Ignore them :)

Eh? My husband lived abroad for 2 years, coming home once every 4-6 weeks and I was never once advised to do this!!

Odd friends...

Some people have no moral conscience. You have, be proud of yourself for being honest.

My brother and sil did this, he worked offshore a certain amount of weeks away then home a certain amount of weeks. They got reported and she got a criminal record.

Who the hell are your friends?! What a bloody stupid suggestion!
