To pay or not to pay, that is the question

Partner and I have now been together about 18 months. I am a “single” Mum who struggles financially and have big monthly bills like a mortgage etc.
My partner currently lives with me about 80% of the time but has never offered any financial contribution.
He earns £90k and has a maisonette with a tenant bringing in £750 a month.
In all fairness he does on occasion bring a few grocery items in, but this is very occasionally.
He does take me out once every 2/3 months I’d say but nowhere particularly fancy.
AITA for thinking he should make some sort of financial contribution?
I’m torn as I’d be paying all the bills whether he was here or not and it’s not like he’s a massive drain on hot water, electric etc. He’s also a bit odd in that he will take his washing home to do at his.
So as I say AITA in this situation?
If I’m not, why am I not?

He's totally taking advantage of you!

Together 18 months, he practically lives with you and he only takes you out once every 2 - 3 months?
Seriously????
Fuck that shit!

different thread, different thoughts and opinions was the thought process

How many opinions do you need? Stevie Wonder can see what's going on here.

Every penny he costs you is taking money away from you and your children.
