Troll or no troll, makes for a good debate! I think OP has got lots out of this.
I think it is strange how the OP clearly states how they left him with nothing & now wants more! Normally posters put themselves in the best light, leaving things out to make themselves sound better.

Well a proportion of nothing would be.. oh..nothing... I'd give her it lol

I definitely think you have had enough. At least you can furnish your new place as you have taken everything with you. You would have had rent to pay and living costs whatever so think your ex partner has been very generous. Wonder why he decided he had had enough?

No, ive tried to be totally honest, so that any info or opinions given are based on the full facts.

Yes it prob seems like ive had a lot, just heard about this beneficial interest thing and wondered if was worth persuing. Apparently not.
Thanks

Legally, you *might* be entitled to something. You will have to pay for legal advice to find out.

Morally, you lived rent free for x number of years, the last 5 months you weren't even paying for your own food/electric etc, you've taken all the furniture, appliances etc & you got a cash lump sum pay off. I think you've done pretty well out of this as it is, and I can't see why you would think you should get more.

Well if you're a gold digger and want everyone to know it, then pursue it. If not - don't.

How long did you live there?

Would you be prepared to cough up if you found the property had dropped in value since you moved in?

At a guess you would have paid £300 a month for food ( half of which you would have had to pay for yourself if you were single) £100 for council tax and £70 for electricity per month. It sounds like you got such a good deal, especially if the guy was prepared to help you out when you left.

I'd definitely choose my dignity over money.

I can't believe that you are even considering it.

He sounds like he has been good to you in many ways and cared for your welfare. Why abuse that?

If you are 'struggling to make ends meet'?. 'Self employed', 'part-time', work harder. Simple.

A friend of mine was never married, moved in with her bf, had twins with him, worked and contributed to the household bills and mortgage etc and when they split, she was told she was entitled to nothing at all!
