I don’t know if I’m in the right section for this I’m not quite use to navigating my way around yet.
So my partner and I been together seven years but because of his refusal to shower regularly by that I mean about once every two months and never cleans his teeth it got so I just couldn’t bear to be intimate with his oh I was honest I tried the delicate approach a few times,tried dropping hints then at the last resort just told him straight .but he still didn’t change.
Anyway I finally had enough it hasn’t been a proper relationship for a very long time .so we agreed to stay friends and he could rent the spare bedroom from me.you see it’s my house he moved in with me .and only paid half the bills .i don’t have a mortgage so it was just the bills he paid half .
This new arrangement suits us both .he pays rent for his room to include bills .i brought a proper lodgers agreement and rent book.
But here is where I’m worried.i have the most nasty vile neighbours.
When I inherited they found out next thing I know I’ve been reported for benefit fraud of course I had done everything right as soon as I lost my aunt I rang them and told them I was due to inherit but would let them know the amount once the solicitor had added up all the bonds etc.so once I knew this I rang them again told them and the date probate would end which was when I would actually get this money.on the day it went into my bank account I rang them to tell them .
So they was very helpful when they contacted me about this being reported told me what this person had said saying I had inherited hid the money in my partners bank account and was claiming benefits still.
But the piece of information that proved to us it was the neighbours was when they said this person had got photographs to prove we wasn’t disabled as we was claiming disability benefit to.i had a few months earlier been gardening but quickly turned round to see the neighbours daughter taking photos of me from her bedroom window.
But as the dwp knew yes we are disabled but for mental illness not physical .but our neighbours didn’t know that.
Then last year they made a malicious false allegation to the police about me.so you now have the picture what they are like.
Also a friend once showed me his social media page he was ranting on about spongers he was going to report them etc etc.
So I am worried if they find out they are going to report us again .
This is my worry if they do how would I prove my partner and I have split up and now have this arrangement where he rents a room from me.you see he doesn’t work due to mental illness so is applying for esa and housing benefit to pay his rent.
All we are now are just friends .my friends knew for a long time I wasn’t happy in the relationship and was seriously thinking of ending the relationship.
And it suits me because I wouldn’t want to live on my own with my vile nasty neighbours I would be a sitting duck.and basically the police won’t help .even when I’ve had clear cctv evidence the police just fob me off.
Has anyone ever had this arrangement when splitting up with a partner.
And if either of us meets someone else we decided we will cross that bridge if it happens .
