to be angry at people I feel to be profiteering emotionally?

[islanderin]

My partner is the sweetest person on the planet and he supports a number of subsidised household and vehicles. We hae recently beenn asked personally by them for further liberties (use of land to build things, extra dogs without permission to stay with them, a caravan working on site etc) and I think these people are taking liberties because none are hard up but my partner is soft. AIBU?? would appreciate your advice.

Why are they subsidised if not hard up?

Why doesn't he subsidise genuinely hard up people instead? That would be sweet. What you have described isn't sweet, it's having his lunch money taken by bullies.

You and your partner need to grow a backbone. It isn't hard to say 'no'. Try it.

@TorkTorkBam Ok thanks for the swift nudge

@NotEverythingIsBlackandWhite thankyou, yes we are pond scum.

Who are these people, relatives, friends, tenants?

Is he a landowner with employees having subsidised accommodation on your land?

I don’t understand... what has an extra dog got to do with not being hard up? Is this financial or emotional? What is actually happening?

I can’t read about taking liberties without laughing, sorry - blame Catherine Tate!

Could you explain a bit please?
What's the context? Who are these people?

I don't think we can tell whether you're unreasonable with this amount of information.

In what sense is your partner supporting these households and vehicles? Do you mean he owns property in/on which they live and pay a very small rent? Where do the vehicles come in? What are the terms of the contract under which they are living on your partner's land?

What relationship do these people have with your partner other than tenants? Are they parents, siblings, old friends, lame dogs?

Your use of the terms "profiteering emotionally" is confusing: do you mean getting emotional benefits to an unfair degree, or do you mean using emotional blackmail to get tangible benefits?
