As I see it, the £5k is the cost of: rent, council tax, phone line, TV license, insurances, standing charges for electricity/gas/water, replacement of household items, maintenance/tarting up of a place that she is paying to live separately from you. Overheads that won't need paying if she moves in with you.

But you're not subbing her are you. That's just money she'd be able to hand over to you if she gave up her house, in your strange little head that is.

You are a weird one. I'm single and thought I was weird.... I'm single because I didn't choose guys like you.

Maybe this will help....everyones hung up on where the £5000 comes from!!

I have read an article on here that states the cost of living alone would total £5,000 per person per year.Doing the sums I think that that has so far cost us £50,000 between us.

If the relationship were to last in this form another 5 years that would be £100,000.What I am in fact doing is investing big licks in her independence.....which I don't particularly want her to have.

You need to do your sums again. It isn't costing Jackie £5k a year because she doesn't live alone. and long may that continue.

I am not understanding this thread.

Your old bird lives with her son and you want her to move in with you to save her the outgoings on her HA place, so where will you benefit?

If the truth be told, the taxpayer has prob been subsidising her to the tune of more than you have calculated.

Face facts, she prob has guilt over her son and will not make him homeless for another man. He resents you because you are not his father and probably because you leave the price tag on his birthday cards.

As far as I can tell, you have sex with the lights off to save electric. The notches on your bedpost are probably reminders of the meter readings before you switched the light off so you can see if your performance has been energy efficient.

So this is nothing to do with Jackie really?

You haven't been subsidising her at all?

And certainly not to the tune of £5000 a year?

You just want someone to pay half your bills for you?

And you are miffed because Jackie is happy as she is?

And what does Jackie get out of this? She already has a secure home and someone to share expenses with.

How would she benefit from moving in with you?

I can only think of reasons not to.

The Office for National Statistics says many young adults in their mid-20s and early 30s, and especially men, are increasingly postponing the transition to adulthood.

Perhaps we can find you a nearly-bankrupt chap who wants to take all the emotion out of relationships, and concentrate on the council tax savings and getting rid of any inconvenient ties you have with your family.

Fancy that?

No?

How strange.
