We’d like to remind Forumites to please avoid political debate on the Forum.
This is to keep it a safe and useful space for MoneySaving discussions. Threads that are – or become – political in nature may be removed in line with the Forum’s rules. Thank you for your understanding.
PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

As harsh as this sounds, he doesn't respect you! He would want to work to help support the houses, and you, if he did. Not in a old-fashioned way but not by not contributing at all he shows he couldn't care-less about you spending ALL of your money.
You might want to think about whether you believe he really held down a job for 8 years as well... he doesn't sound like the type....
Make yourself your number one priorityYou sound lovely, don't let anyone take advantage of that!

PS Tell his parents he is Thick and your patience has finally run Thin... through thick and thin my eyeballs! Why don't they use their unconditional love to fund his pipe dreams/excuses. They didn't even shelter him for free. Grrrr...
Get back home to London, your life and your future - as you would choose to live it. Leave this person to reap the consequences of his own choices. He is not a child, he was supposed to be your partner - he failed.
Also, try to keep your brother in the loop if you feel intimidated or need some on hand support.0 -

Assuming your user name is your actual name and initials I would ask for this thread to be deleted due to the amount of identifying information you have posted as your partner and/or his family would easily recognise themselves from your posts.
Then perhaps come back without all the identifying info and let the forum know how you have got on.Its not that we have more patience as we grow older, its just that we're too tired to care about all the pointless drama0 -
Thank you, yeah I thought of that, so changed some info. Obviously the story is the same, but Sarah isn't my real name, and the house isn't in M'boro but closeish by.0
