Partner of a year doesn't contribute...

Been together over a year.
He spends every night at mine.
Last month he was "skint" so I got food etc
Obviously I pay all gas /electric
So this month has left me short and 2 weeks till pay day.
He said last week on his pay day he would "give me some money "
We have decided to go away for a weekend in September £100 each
Today is his pay day and he transferred the £100 hotel but nothing for me.
I was relying on something and he knows that...

You can bring this up with him, but his default is clearly to sponge of you. He knows what he is doing is wrong. Not an attractive trait at all.

Very unattractive. Where does his 1,800 go each month? Wouldn’t it have been nice for him to pay 200 pounds for the trip away to thank you for all you have done for him since he moved in? I think you need to put yourself first…just like he does!

What is his living situation like? Where he is registered to be living? With parents? It sounds like he is taking you for a ride. I would not have this especially with the rise in the cost of living

Your partner is a parasite.

MadMadMadamMim · 08/08/2022 19:08

Take the £100.
End the relationship.

TheWeeDonkey · 08/08/2022 20:39

Yeah, he's not your partner.

He's a cocklodger and you're a mug for putting up with it

Whadda · 08/08/2022 20:43

There’s lots of cock out there, OP. No need to pay for it.

Geppili · 09/08/2022 00:49

Cocklodger!

Farmer3Friends · 09/08/2022 01:37

If he is not paying you, does he do household chores, DIY or any other jobs round the home ?

If he lives with you, why isn't he paying half of the bills ?

Believeinyou · 09/08/2022 07:40

you have to be clear- ask him what the 100 is for? The hotel or his contribution for the previous month? His reaction will tell you everything

Whitehorsegirl · 09/08/2022 08:18

He is not a partner. He is just using you.

gotelltheoldmandowntheroad · 09/08/2022 09:24

What??? He's a leech, what is he offering you? This is going to be a long, hard road if you stay with him. You need to sit him down and end it. He will play dumb but what kind of husband and father would he ever be if he takes all his wages and pisses them up the wall? Pathetic. It's a perfectly valid reason to end it and just be firm about that. You want a partner to raise a family with, and he cannot do that.

Closetbeanmuncher · 25/11/2022 12:31

Nope.

That is all

AgentJohnson · 25/11/2022 12:42

OP stop fannying about and spell out your expectations! He is either clueless or a cocklodger, either way he isn’t a man to pay his share unless told to do. If telling a grown man not to be freeloading twat isn’t your thing, then throw this one back.

Autumnalleavestime · 25/11/2022 12:44

Why are you paying this man to be with you? Because that’s what this is.
