DP claiming poverty but has been a registrar for 10 years ish. I thought he’d be on at least over 55k but claims not. I don’t believe him and he’s wanting to put less than half into joint account.

Haven't RTFT but he's definitely taking the piss paying £200 a month all in unless he has children to pay for or some other very good reason.

Almahart · 05/02/2020 08:17

Regardless of the tights and wrongs (and I do think £200 is taking the piss) I really don’t think this relationship has legs if you’re not on the same page about money.

ukgift2016 · 05/02/2020 08:25

He pays 200 a month??

You are an intelligent woman. Why are you allowing this to happen? I earn more than my partner but he pays his equal share. I would never allow someone to take the piss out of me. Come on, lay down the law.

Barney77 · 05/02/2020 08:30

While I know this isn’t the point of the thread, in all seriousness the pay isn’t that good. My £45000 is for a very senior Reg post in an acute specialty so heavy on calls and lots of nights. And that is all in. Banding and out of hours pay and everything. The lot. 44 hours a week. It is t bad but it isn’t what people think we are on....

lightnesspixie · 05/02/2020 08:39

Not more than £40,000 or thereabouts - shocks me because as a band 7 nurse I'm on nearly that myself and it goes up to £43,000 later this year! I don't quite get it!

ofay · 05/02/2020 08:40

£200 per month? Nnnnoooooo…..

lunar1 · 05/02/2020 08:42

£200 per month for everything? Can I live with you.

You need more openness regarding finances for the future. Doctors don't earn as much as people think and there are a lot of outgoings to add on, I think my husbands subscriptions and insurance etc come to over £7000 a year-I try not to add it up to closely! This does vary massively based on speciality.

Regardless of income if you have a future there needs to be some transparency.

Even as he progresses starting salary and range for a Consultant is 85 - 105K .

Does anyone know how much a registrar doctor earns?
GaaaaarlicBread · 05/02/2020 08:50

The registrars at our local hospital where I work earn £ 50,966 , and should be able to contribute more than £200 to bills . Your partner is taking the piss

Kirkman · 05/02/2020 08:55

How much is half your Bill's?

Where has all his money gone?

I dont understand this.

Even if you thiygh he earner 40k. You know what the take home on that is. Surely you would still expect him to pay more than £200 towards Bill's? Even on 40k.

Where does his money go?

Mum4Fergus · 05/02/2020 08:59

You said upstream you earn over £60k, now it's more than £120k...bit of a hike! Regardless...you're either a team, or you're not. Everything in and out of same account with no 'mine and yours' or, a %age split towards your outgoings based on your income.

Alonelonelyloner · 05/02/2020 09:41

OP you're coming off as really unpleasant.

Yes for sure he should be contributing more, but if my partner was querying my money and salary etc I'd feel a little controlled. My STBExH does this and I'm the biggest earner.

Also you should trust one another for it to be a sustainable relationship. Genuinely.

OliviaBenson · 05/02/2020 09:45

His salary may well be less than you assumed op, but it's not a half bad salary (in pure monetary terms) and you are quite right to question why on earth he is only able to contribute £200 to the household. That's taking the piss massively.

Sounds like there are bigger issues at play here.

Laughterisbest · 05/02/2020 10:01

Barney77
You said this was your take home pay? Surely most people are quoting gross salaries?

Not that that's the point of the OP. It's not a healthy relationship with so much mistrust and secrecy.

PickleMyPepper · 05/02/2020 11:07

What on Earth do you do at 34 to earn £120k a year?

CoolcoolcoolcoolcoolNoDoubt · 05/02/2020 11:19

£200 a month is ridiculous! You've every right to be pissed off in that respect OP.

WorldyGrease · 05/02/2020 11:37

Thanks for the replies. Seems I have got it largely wrong as I thought he’d be on minimum 60. That said I agree 200 is still too low.

OP posts:
Kirkman · 05/02/2020 11:46

OP, where does he say his money is going?

WorldyGrease · 05/02/2020 12:04

No but I think he’s got used to me paying when he took a pay cut a few years back. So he has a lot of hobbies and goes away a lot with friends. I don’t mind any of that but 200 a month isn’t fair imo.

OP posts:
PatellarTendonitis · 05/02/2020 12:12

£200/month! Okay, he's having you on. But you were also a fool to let him lower it by that much. Fucking hell, uni students pay more than that.

Kirkman · 05/02/2020 12:20

So you dont know what he earns, dont know where he spends 2k a month.

OP theres clearly reason to not trust him.

I am betting there see other issues too?

hellsbellsmelons · 05/02/2020 14:11

Wowzer - £200 per month!!!
He is taking the fucking piss!!!!
Tell him to move out and live on his own and see how much it costs him.
He's in for a fucking massive shock!!!!
I (barely) manage a £1000 mortgage. All bills. Look after myself and my own car and every other friggin thing that comes along and I'm a 40K earner.
Admittedly, I don't get to go on luxury holidays etc....
But I get by.
He needs a reality check OP.
And only YOU can give him that!

BillMasen · 05/02/2020 22:23

Where are the posters who said he souls pay half now it’s clear he earns less than halfback what the op earns?

BillMasen · 05/02/2020 22:32
