I've never posted before but here goes. Been with DP for 15 years, two kids 13 and 8. Everything in his name, money all his. Earns 60+ a year, I earn 8k. As I chose to work part time to be around for kids. I am struggling so much with money. I'm getting into debt as he expects me to pay 1/2 bills plus clothes for kids, lunch money's, school trips, birthdays and xmas. Always been this way. On top of that does nothing about house and I mean NOTHING!!! Will make himself a sandwich for lunch not me or kids. NEVER washes up or tidies i even do the garden and cars. Strangely enough, I still love him or maybe I'm too scared to be alone. But it can't continue. Tried talking but on deaf ears. Now he wants to go on a two week holiday costing 6k and wants me to pay half. I burst out crying and said I can't afford it. He said I'm lying that I have no money, asked what I do with my money? Seriously. I still own my old house and rent it, not much of an income from it. No tenant in there at the moment but will be in 2 weeks as ive arranged new tenant so it's decision time. So scared to upset my children/ruin them. My 13 year old is hard work. BTW we're not married. Please......I need advice!

That's a crazy situation to be in OP, how can he expect you to pay 3k towards a holiday when you only earn 8k in a whole year? But that aside, your situation is crazy.

Leave now. Don't worry about the tenants you'd arranged, they'll find someone else.

somewhere else!

You don't need to work part time now. Get a full time job
