I'm in a relasionship with a man that took on my son and at first we got on really well I'm financially dependent on him although we both work full time minimum wage jobs I couldn't afford to live on my own my soon leaves education soon so won't be entitled to anything so I'm stuck to be honest our main problems are he doesn't help me out much I walk dog cook sort things after work he may wash up if I moan and I do 90 percent of the garden housework shopping and cooking if I say anything to him I'm whingeing and getting at him I'm really just at my lowest point I'm not a fuss pot I only clean through once per week but I'm fed up of his laziness he even waits for me to feed him

But if you both work full time you should share the cooking. 3 nights each then a microwave meal or pizza on the last night of the week is what I'd suggest.

How are you financially dependent on him if you both work f/t minimum wages jobs? Surely you're dependent on each other in that case, at worst? You could look for a place just for you and your ds?

Not to mention you getting the shitty end of the stick of doing the majority of housework etc.

I'm am dependent on him as I earn 1000 per month and a place of my own would cost min 400 per month plus council tax and I couldn't afford to live to be honest so I'm stuck with him he really doesn't see it I've tried so hard I'm just having a go if I say anything going to try ignoring him for a Few weeks till he asks what's up!
