To rethink this decision with DP?

So background-- DP and I have been together 2 years. I am unemployed at the minute and homeless as a result of this so I stay with DP. I cannot stay at other family for various reasons not valid to this thread. The plan is when I get a job, hopefully if my interview this weekend works out, then DP and I will move into a new place together. (He currently shares an apartment with a cousin).

So last night DP had some upsetting news that his grandmother who lives in Asia was robbed of all her money 10k+ by a man posing as a policeman so in her elderly state being threatened by 'police' she gave them what she was told she owed.

DP feels sick at this obviously as she is old, now with no money, all family live in the UK now and they need to get money to her asap.

So due to having a lot going on, he's asked me to stay elsewhere this morning. Now I know he's very stressed but AIBU to think that if we are to move out together within the next few months, then he should be wanting me around in situations like this and that we should be able to share the same space when he is upset.

When were both on a tenancy he won't be able to ask me to stay elsewhere for the night. So I don't know how to feel that he's done it today when we practically live together (been staying with him 4 months).

He's done this occasionally before when there's been family problems.

This is a really weird dynamic, OP

I moved into my (now) DH's flat before we bought our house. He had all sorts of family issues at the time but he never ever asked me to stay elsewhere while he sorted anything out - we dealt with things together even before we were engaged.

It's nice that you're suddenly completely unconcerned, but I wouldn't be. This isn't normal.

PS why aren't you claiming any benefits?

He's treating you like a Yo-Yo - sad thing is you are letting him...
