Partner ex and me

Where do I start.. I used to go out with this guy 20 years ago we split and both moved on, we met again roughly around a year ago, relationship started again. So he constantly calls me his exes name and then tries to make out he didn’t by carrying on conversation like it didn’t just happen, second issue- we now live together and I Own my own home he just pays for food, he said he would help me before he moved in, we have discussed the money but apparently it’s fair him just paying for food as it’s my house, so I pay everything mortgage bills, extra bits daily if we need it, the other day he was stuck with his internet banking and he showed my his account he’s been sending his ex money as well every month, they do have a 18yr who earns his own money. I didn’t say anything because I was so shocked the amounts he was sending nearly every day, he’s told me he doesn’t give her anything and wished he could help me more. He still doesn’t know I know but it’s started causing an issue as he will then call me her name again. They have been split up 5 years. The other day he was talking to his son and he said he will sort his mums car out with parts and ring everyone for her, He went and sat In the car and did it secretly; I am now at a point where I feel he’s still emotionally involved regardless what he says is it time to love on and let him be with his ex? It’s making me really uncomfortable

Confrontation is horrible but he is taking the piss - massively!

You go girl! You can do this!

Summersunandoranges · 22/04/2020 15:51

Jesus he is still not over her. Move on love.

Stop letting him take the piss out of you financially

OnlyJudyCanJudgeMe · 22/04/2020 16:05

Cock lodger....out he goes, lockdown or no bloody lockdown.

Aly92 · 22/04/2020 16:13

Kick him out ASAP don’t use the virus as a reason. He can fund her but won’t go half’s on bills he’s taking advantage of you .

YgritteSnow · 22/04/2020 16:17

No manners @Lynda07?

Thingsdogetbetter · 22/04/2020 18:31

I think the lack of punctuation perfectly reflects the anger the OP is starting to feel! It's a beautiful flow of rage!

Fuck the punctuation. And fuck him! Let the righteous rage build! Kick ass OP!

Elieza · 22/04/2020 18:52

Yeah Id boot him out too. He’s using you as a convenient free place to stay so he can sook up to his ex by paying for this that and the other for her, probably in the hope she’ll think he’s her hero and take him back.

Sorry OP. It sucks.

Boot him out now or after lockdown as suits you best. I’d be inclined to go for now if he’s actually costing you money? Later if he’s still buying nice food?

Does he have a job?

He will likely spend so much on the ex/kid that he may end up with insufficient funds to pay the deposit + first months rent of the new pad in advance. You can’t have that. So I’d tackle him about it prior so he has the money in his bank. And it’s not promised prior to stuff for her.
I’d he says he can’t afford to move out Don’t Listen! He’s lying so he can stay rent free. Boot out to live with his ex while he saves for a deposit.

Maxboy · 23/04/2020 08:04

So I have confronted him, he didn’t know what to do- I said “ your taking the piss out of me, you sit there dictating what I should do, how I should do it and how I should pay for it too” his attitude is you managed when I weren’t here on your own so what’s the difference now, the Fact that your financing your ex after you told me you weren’t involved with her is a problem not only have you lied to me but your also abusing me financially and still helping her. I have plenty of times dates and examples just incase you need the evidence. The other issues are you sit on your phone all day looking at other woman and dodgy porns sites when I am sat right next to you in my fucking home that you are now tainting. Cut along story short he was straight on the phone to the ex and was arranging something not sure what didn’t give him chance to come back in I locked the door. Phone hasn’t stopped ringing so I have blocked him too. Phew feel a lot better but I don’t think he’s going to leave it there but past caring now. You all helped me make the right choice thank you and I really mean that

Well done OP! Stay strong Flowers

Intothefuture · 23/04/2020 08:10

What an awful attitude he has. He doesn’t think he has to pay his way as you managed before!

Anyway the porn alone is so disrespectful you couldn’t let him stay a moment longer.

candycane222 · 23/04/2020 08:11

Fantastic. You are very very very very well rid. What an arse!!!

crimsonlake · 23/04/2020 08:11

Great news, well done you.

MingeofDeath · 23/04/2020 08:24

Pack his stuff and dump it outside. Make sure you are safe and he can't get back in. Well done and good luck.

hellsbellsmelons · 23/04/2020 08:27

looking at other woman and dodgy porn sites when I am sat right next to you
Wow - what a peach he is!
Well done OP.
That posts shows you finally found your anger.
No doubt you were shaking like a leaf at the time. Bet you feel pretty good now though.

You will crash so be prepared for that.
Keep him blocked.
Feel bloody proud of yourself.
Reach out to family and friends if you can.
Video chat and let it all out!
Wine here's to your new found freedom!!!

OnlyJudyCanJudgeMe · 23/04/2020 08:27

Good for you!

OnlyJudyCanJudgeMe · 23/04/2020 08:28

Pressed send too soon...do you know where ex lives? If so, pack his stuff and dump it on her doorstep.

MingeofDeath · 23/04/2020 08:28

Is he likely to become aggressive/violent?

TorkTorkBam · 23/04/2020 08:31

Well done. Bag his stuff on the doorstep. Unblock only long enough to tell him.

boomchikawowwow · 23/04/2020 08:35

I'm glad you booted him out. Stay strong. He sounds like a user who is living the life of Riley!

Weenurse · 23/04/2020 08:41

Well done 💐🍷🍰

Troels · 23/04/2020 08:41

He was probably trying to persuade the ex to let him move back there. What a cocklodger he is. You are well rid.

bullyingadvice2017 · 23/04/2020 08:50

So has he gone, or have you just locked him out? I really hope the twat is stuck 179 miles from home with his shit in bin bags to go crawling back to his ex.

If so, enjoy your day ok.
If not.... get it done then you can enjoy your day.

Maxboy · 23/04/2020 10:28

No he’s gone, made sure I made it very clear that he isn’t to return regardless of what he says, his stuff is outside ready for him to pick up, I am have arranged for his stuff to go into storage and sent the bill to his ex... what a good feeling

Congratulations op!!.

bullyingadvice2017 · 23/04/2020 10:59

Good on you ok. Sometimes you have to stand up for yourself. You did well here, it was only gonna get worse. Imagine the shit you would have had to deal with if you weren't so strong today. Pat yourself on the back. Do something you enjoy and be glad you are free.
