Relationship seperation

[user1498158714]

Hi,

My partner and I lived together for 18 months, sharing the bills, when he was moved abroad with work, and given a substantial pay rise. He's been away for nearly a year and anticipates at least another 18 months to 2 years. We video call every day but since he moved, he hasn't paid a penny towards bills. Financially, I'm finding things quite difficult but when I asked if he would make a small contribution, he was outraged, stating he doesn't live with me anymore, even though we have discussed getting married. Am I being unreasonable?

I would suggest you move out to somewhere cheaper or get someone to share the rent with you in the place you're in.

If he has bills and rent to pay where he is, then he probably can't afford to pay your bills.

What are you contributing towards his living expenses?

I’m missing your point here.

Unless he had Pre-agreed to make a contribution to the bills before he went, why would you assume he would still pay? Do you help with his living expenses? If you do, then stop that
