AIBU my partner moved in mine as his elderly mother was/is shielding since April. He lives with her due to various reasons. I had to ask for money for the bills, he buys food but only helps out if I ask. I want him to go back to his home, is it too soon?

Can you both self isolate entirely for a couple of weeks so he can go home without fear of infecting his mother?

BumpBundle · 02/06/2020 10:28

Surely this should have been discussed before you agreed for him to move in? Seems a bit unreasonable for you to change your mind if you know he has no where to go other than back to his mother's and put her at higher risk of getting Covid.
In my opinion, he should be contributing but it depends on his income and how much he's paying to his mother...more than that, it depends on what you agreed, which appears to be nothing?

He said would I mind, then just brought his things the next day without consulting me, he's been going back in his home wearing gloves & a mask, sitting in the garden, drove her to the doctors. Just wondering if July would be reasonable.

If he's already been back to hers and drove her back to the doctor's, I'd send him back and make him isolate in his bedroom there. He sounds selfish. Are you going to still maintain your relationship when he goes home or are you going to leave him?

WhoWants2Know · 02/06/2020 10:46

If he's doing those things then he is already putting his mum at a similar level of risk to what he would be by living there.

Magicra84 · 02/06/2020 10:47

Sorry, rogue apostrophe in doctors there. Damn autocorrect! Confused

AnneLovesGilbert · 02/06/2020 10:50

Today is reasonable. He didn’t have a proper discussion with you about moving in and has taken the piss out of you since. No need for a discussion about him moving out now, tell him to pack his bags and be gone.

Sounds like this will have a useful experience as you know what he’s really like.

Anydreamwilldo12 · 02/06/2020 10:58

He's definitely taking the piss, send him back to his mother

MyOwnSummer · 02/06/2020 11:05

Yes I would kick him out to be honest. Unless there is a massive and real change in his attitude and contribution to the household.

What do you want OP? Do you want him to grow up and be a decent partner, or piss off entirely?

You have yourself a covid cocklodger. He's totally taking the piss. He takes his mum to the GP, closely confined with her in a car anyway.

Send him packing and don't allow people to move into your home just because they want to.

Whatsnewpussyhat · 02/06/2020 11:08

Cocklodger. Get rid.

BraveGoldie · 02/06/2020 11:44

Sorry, he said 'would you mind?' And you said 'sure let's do it!' Then he moved his stuff in? Or you said 'hmmm let's think about it/no' and he moved his stuff in? What was his response when he asked you?

Nottherealslimshady · 02/06/2020 11:46

He's taking the piss. Tomorrow is reasonable. Get rid.

Smallsteps88 · 02/06/2020 11:48

What you have there is a cocklodger. There is no cure. Immediate removal is advised.

BumbleBeee69 · 02/06/2020 11:54

Cocklodger.. he's completely taking the PISS.. tell him to move out today...

Susan1961 · 02/06/2020 14:20
