    I was under the impression that you have to give way to the right on a roundabout.
    He actually caused an accident once and hit a car, i wasn't with him that time.
    He was found to be at fault, similar scenario.
    Being at home doesn't mean your caring, you could be spending your whole time on the xbox.

    In that case, as I said earlier, you should stop him claiming CA.

    You do give way to the right, but you said a car pulled out, nothing to do with a roundabout - a car approaching a roundabout is not a car 'pulling out'.


    Oh well since he's had an accident in the past, ignore everything I say, give him both barrels.....


    _ that aside I agree being at home doesn't mean he's caring for you, however you presumably do not require 24/7 monitoring. He's not obliged to spend the time with you, rather be available to you if you require care.

    We were on a roundabout heading to the second exit and a car pulled out from behind a bus from the right.
    The bus was coming past, and the car overtook the bus.
    It was still coming from the right so therefore, he should have given way yes.
    Not carried on going.

    Absolute rubbish. The guy was clearly in the wrong lane and was 100% in the wrong.

    No wonder he wanted to go home, some idiot almost runs him off the road and his wife supports the arm waving and swearing thug and has a go at him.

    To answer your earlier question - that is abuse...

    It was me that wanted to go home not him, i told him to stop before he ploughed into another car that he didn't see.
    Hardly abuse.
    When it would be down to me to pay the £200 excess.
    So you'd just sail into another car because its your right of way regardless.

    Getting caught in the pedantics of a he said/she said traffic incident isnt really helping the op get to the bottom of the core relationship issues.

    The main trigger for me getting out of my abusive relationship was the care dropped below 35 hours and I was scared of being done for committing/aiding benefit fraud.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    You don't have joint finances? How does that work when you've got a joint benefit claim?
