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.

He will. He's a 26 year old who knows which side his bread's been buttered.

Sweepstake on how long it takes him to make the booty call so he can take advantage of whatever is free and still get his clothes cleaned and his dinner cooked by mum. What a loser.

I think it's a mother's place to turn her boy into a well rounded, independent individual. (ie. when my son is 26, if he's still living at home he'll be paying half my bills as well!)

I wonder if the responses would have been different, had this been a man complaining about his GF not paying him rent?

About two - three weeks ago they weren't.

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.

There is a lot of misinformation about unmarried partners gaining a share of a property. The fact is that

1) there is no such thing as a common law spouse in England and Wales,

2) the only way a person can gain entitlement to a share in another persons house is to either pay for some major work, such as an extension to the house or make regular committed mortgage payments preferably direct from their bank account to the lender, or to marry the owner of the property in which case the divorce courts have wide powers to adjust the shares in the property.

Just living in the house and contributing to the food and bills will not gain someone a share in the house (although if they are prepared to start legal proceedings, the costs of giving them something to go away may work out a lot less than the lawyers fees to fight them!)

Sorry for the timing of this yvonne, but you seem better off without him.

have a hug yvonne :grouphug: :grouphug: and an extra big one as its xmas :grouphug:

a relationship is all about give and take. I know this is all a bit premature now but if he wasn't paying any rent or contributing to any of your bills then he should have been paying for the food or meals out or something. Its not fair for him to have expected you to provide everything - a home / food etc etc etc especially as you said some of your bills have doubled. It can't be very nice for you at the moment but you are much better off without him and there will be someone else along soon who will treat you how you deserve to be treated.

Kick him out and get a new boyfriend who isn't a mummy's boy. End of.

1) there is no such thing as a common law spouse in England and Wales, True

2) the only way a person can gain entitlement to a share in another persons house is to either pay for some major work, such as an extension to the house or make regular committed mortgage payments preferably direct from their bank account to the lender, or to marry the owner of the property in which case the divorce courts have wide powers to adjust the shares in the property. Wrong. The other way an unmarried person can gain entitlement to a share in another person's house is on the whim of a judge. The courts have very wide discretion and if the property had been called 'our home' for example or an individual has contributed to minor DIY/ household bills / food (which may in practice be indistinguishable from contributions to mortgage payments) then judges can and do award a portion of the house to one party simply because they lived in the property.
