Cant cope with lazy partner!!

Posts: 381 Forumite
We moved into this bungalow 6 months ago.
He bought a new kitchen and stuff in January.
Its now June and the kitchen is still not finished.
I have no sink, no washing machine and no worktops.
I am being forced to wash up in the bath, and have to go to a manky laundrette once a week.
I am disabled with health problems.
My family are concerned at what my partner is putting me through.
Although he works long hours, when it comes to weekends he doesnt do nothing.
Half of the kitchen has been built up and he has now abandoned it.
What are my rights to find council housing as I cannot put up any more without ammenities?

What do you want?
The kitchen finished?
To separate from your partner?
If the kitchen is finished, would you be happy to stay with your partner.
Could you afford to get someone to fit it?Thrifty Till 50 Then Spend Till the End
You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time0 -

Buy paper plates and ready-made meals and stop washing up.
Stop laundering the clothes outside the house.Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily Dickinson

Can you rally round some friends to help him at the weekend? If your family are concerned, can they help?"Save £12k in 2019" #120 - £100,699.57/£100,0000

How rude.:mad: Has it occurred to you that the OP's disabilities may make doing those things impossible?
I had a carpenter in a wheelchair with no legs who was also left paralysed after a motorcycle crash fit my kitchen counters single handed and he did a fantastic job. :T
If the op can bend over a bath and do the washing and carry a load into a laundrette I'm sure they can hold a screwdriver or a paint brush.
Going by their username they are fit enough to have a child, so I'm sorry if my comments come across as rude but if you can do those things you can help out with other physical things like some basic diy.0 -
Having looked through the OP's previous posts, it seems the health issues are thyroid problems, sinus tachycardia and depression. I suffer from the first two (have done for years thanks to Grave's disease which causes the tachycardia) and have always worked fulltime, so I'm guessing the depression is the reason for the incapacity. Only the OP knows what she can and can't manage."Save £12k in 2019" #120 - £100,699.57/£100,0000
