Funny how a guy living off his GF gets so much criticism on these boards, but no-one says anything about all the non-working wives living off their husbands never doing a day's paid work in their lives and not looking after kids either.

That particular scenario hasn't come up on the threads I read but, for equal opportunities criticism of spongers, try...

If someone lives with a partner in their fully paid-for house then any monies paid by them could not be construed as having made a contribution towards it.

Cheers. Would this also apply if the house was mortgaged but in one name only, and ws bought before or just as the relationship is beginning? -SOmething I've never thought would have implications before.

yvonne13, good work.

You don't need guys like that wasting your time. Better to go out and have fun now rather than stressing over finances that a douche bag has created for you. Real guys don't do that to girls.

Anyway the problem has now been resolved as he has told me to do one and I will be renting the room out in the new year.

If he gave up that easily then you are better off without him, post back if he starts phoning in a fews days crying saying he misses you.

Yvonne, You are well shot of him although it may not seem that way at the moment. Good luck getting a good lodger they are out there but make sure you vet them well.

lol - he won't. He is a 26 year old lad, single and fancy-free. There are plenty of nice ladies that will play for free.

Though he sounded like a complete waster, I am actually sad to hear that your heart has been broken just before Xmas but I hope that this timing means that your social calendar will be full and will provide a welcome distraction.

I agree, but isn't a shame that in th 21st Century they're are women who still think, oh he's a nice guy, and get treated like the doormat! That's no particular reference to the OP.

i have read countless threads on this board where a man asks for help about how much is reasonable to charge his girlfriend when she moves in and most responses make comments inferring that by charging he wants a lodger with benefits. Funny how when it's flipped the other way, everyone's saying the bf should pay if moving in with gf.

Just thought I'd say...but agree entirely that the OP's bf should be paying his way.

sorry things haven't worked out, but it is better to tackle this now than regret it in 10 years.

I had a friend in a similar position who ended up getting her house repossessed as she just let it go on and on, you have been very stron doing what you have and when you look back you will always be glad that you did

You know that you will let out your spare room easily so your finances will get sorted soon, so ring around your friends and get out on the town over Christmas/New Year and remember you have to kiss a few frogs before you find a prince

if he comes trying to wheedle his way back in stay strong

Good luck
