    But you said in your first post,

    " The house is in my name and I have always paid pretty much for absolutely everything food, bills, clothes the lot etc apart from expenses relating to his car as he drives and I don't."

    This is true I have , he moved in with me when we first met not the other way round and he hasn't really contributed from a financial point of view but he has contributed in other ways in doing things like decorating, repairs etc, things I wouldn't have a clue how to do. I know I'm angry with him at the moment but I don't want to devalue the contribution he has made to our relationship, it hasn't always been one sided with me doing everything for him, he has helped me when I have needed it but just not financially.

    I really hope that you get everything sorted out to everyone's best interests.

    It saddens me to read that you lead such seperate lives when presumably you got together out of love.
    Lost my soulmate so life is empty.

    I can bear pain myself, he said softly, but I couldna bear yours. That would take more strength than I have -

    A nice sentiment lobbylou2, even through your anger you can still see some good. Very heartwarming x
    Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it!!:eek:

    In most traditional relationships the man does things like decorating and repairs - that doesn't mean that he doesn't contribute financially as well!
