So, my oh and father of 3 kids works full time and earns 50,000k per year.
I work 25hours per week and earn around 15k per year.
Oh gives me five hundred per month toward bills and that's it. He keeps the rest and spends it on himself.
He doesn't buy anything for the home, kids, days out, holidays, nothing!
I also look after his child from prev marraige every fortnight and buy us all takeaways ect.
So basically, his monthly income after tax is between 3 and 3.5k, he gives me 500 and blows the rest (no savings or anything).
My monthly income (including his 500) is 1800 but paying out each month is 1500.
So I have 300 left and he has 2-3k.
My 300 has to be spent on kids ect and he spends his on himself and in bookies.
Have argued many times over this, e doesn't see a problem with it...and nothing changes.

What do I do???

So he’s a liar, a cheat, and happy to financially abuse you… what a gem of a man. Does he have a twin?…. Asking for an enemy.

Seriously OP are you even asking? Put the whole man in the bin

You didn't know he was with his wife for 8 months?! Did you never go to his house, or suspect? This was your first red flag tbh.

Why OP? Why is it like this? How did it get this way? It's just appalling

Doesn't matter how it got this way, just that you know it has to end.

He's completely financially abusing you, the money you get is a pittance and you are his unpaid childcare.

Get rid of him.

Have you met any of his family, if not maybe he's still married.

So he is not saving any money for both your retirement not a rainy day? Where will you live when retired? Will you be able to afford the rent then? How will you fund your DC university?

I don't understand the poor financial planning by some people. Nor why people wouldn't talk about how things work before having children
