Right where do I start.. me and my partner have 2 kids hes working full time I'm working part time but we still get help from universal credit , this month we didnt have universal credit because ny partner pay was high so now I'm thinking ge has to give me money to sort out the Bill's but hes saying ti ne he didnt get the amount that HMRC stated he had and that basically hes not handing money to me so I'm upset and angry and dunno what to do. Part of me wants to say ok no worries and get the kids and leave and part of me just dunno what to do. Any tips please.

Ask to see his wage slip. Surely he has no problems showing you that he's not withholding money from the family.

One disagreement doesn't make a person want to leave an otherwise happy relationship.

He's telling you something, you don't believe him. So, you don't trust him. He knows you have bills to pay and is trying not to offer any money, so you know he's not supportive. He's not sharing clear information about how much he got paid, so communication isn't good.

What more do you need to tell you he's not the man for you?

Why I say about leaving is because hes not always truthful he continues to lie about things plus theres other things that's gone on in the relationship which ain't right so this to me is one more push to leave. I dont want to but yeah how can I stay with someone who clearly doesn't be honest with me.. I mention about his Payslips or banking and he goes mad he cannot communicate face to face but he will talk tidy texting. He wont give me money as hes holding back with something and he thinks I'm going to spend it on myself which I ain't like that kids and Bill's comes 1st .. and I've also said to him if he thinks I'm like that he can watch me pay the Bill's. I'm a faithful and honest person always have been yet he cant be like that.

What bills have you got coming up?
If you listed them to him, what would he say? If you asked him how he thinks they're going to get paid, what would he say?
Does he have anything you can sell to cover the bills?

I strongly suspect he's controlling with money generally. Do,you pay all of the bills and costs to do with the house and children? Do you have spare money to have a haircut or a lunch with a friend? Does he?
