So me and my partner both work. I have my own business and we use universal credit to top up. Before my partner went back to work after being on the sick we were just on universal credit and my business was just starting. We used the universal credit to pay for his car and I have always used my money to pay for my own car. We live together and have a child and another one due very soon. So now my partner is back at work full time earning £850 a week, he still wants me to use the universal credit to pay for his car, this goes in my bank to top up my wages and Iv been using it for our child’s needs, food, and buying baby things. So now after giving him the money for his car (£420 a month finance) and £170 insurance, it’s joint insurance and it’s high because he got points for speeding twice in 1 year. I’m left with not enough to buy the bouncy chair, swing, or crib. However he’s got two accounts with a fair amount in each.
am I wrong for saying He should be paying for his car now he’s earning more than enough! We do drive each other’s cars and are on each other’s insurance. But I pay my own car and own insurance I’d never ask him to pay my insurance even though he drives my car all of the time, and I pay my own fiancé which is not even half of what his is! He knows we need this baby things and hasn’t even offered to buy anything and he knows our child still needs uniform and hasn’t offered to buy these either, even when I said oh I don’t get paid again until a week before he goes to school and that’s leaving it a little late to get the rest of the uniform as it may be sold out then.
i don’t know if I’m just super hormonal or if he’s just being very greedy with his money!
