To tell DP to stop his ex using the washing machine once I move in?

I'm due to move in with my partner in a couple of weeks. He has been divorced for 2 years and seperated for 3.

Anyway he has moved twice since the divorce (so where he lives now has never been her home) yet she still comes over to his house to use the washing machine.

She lives with her parents and I asked him today "don't they have a washing machine then?" and he said they do ... just that they don't like her using it!!

AIBU to tell him that once I move in, I'd like her to stop bringing her washing here? I know it probably sounds petty but I don't like it.

DP has custody of their daughter and she doesn't even bother to see her very often (once a month or so) yet will come around during school hours to use the washing machine

(and it will be my washing machine she's using as we're swapping DP's for mine!)

He is waffling...

By waffling do you mean stalling ? giving himself time so he can avoid the issue or just waffling with no intention of doing anything about it?

I think he has no intention of doing anything about it. Just going from what you have said here. He if had ACTUALLY moved on from ex, it would have been sorted in the initial move.

If he was SERIOUS about it being over with her and starting fresh with you, she would be out of the picture (except obviously when it comes to their DC).

I don't know, he might be genuinely trying to change. His willingness to evict ex from his life sounds promising.
I do feel moving in with someone is akin to getting married though and wonder what the rush is here.
