DH of 3 years refuses to talk finances

He's said from the get go my money is mine his is his and refuses to talk finances at all. Now in the eyes of the law I understand this not to be the case. If he racks up mountains of debt then I'm liable for it.

Hes currently 'self employed' aka unemployed and not even bringing in any benefits to make up the shortfall so all bills are paid by me transferring funds to his account. He refuses to put my name on the bills and just tells me the amounts each month.

I am, however, increasingly worried that despite him bringing no money in and refusing to allow me to give him extra from my salary, he always has spare money to get booze, petrol, and random crap.

I can only think he's borrowing the money from someone or somewhere.

Can anyone help with the legalities please because I'm planning on sitting him down and trying to get to the bottom of it tomorrow and if he continues to refuse to talk me then I'm walking. (there are other issues and this is the straw that broke the camels back) Where do I stand?

Oh good I'm glad to see that update. I missed it before.

Make sure you have joint fiancées from now on. Your name on bills, credit cards, bank accounts, mortgage the lot.
