...and all the women that apparently forget there's a fallback option for an unwanted pregnancy. It's called abortion. In case, somehow, an "accident" had happened ever (which it didn't ) I kept the phone number to hand of a clinic in case of need and would have been on the phone making an appointment the same day (unless it was a Sunday of course and thus closed for the weekend). No need to even tell the boyfriend until after the event.

Please, please, stop trying to advise anybody else about anything, ever.

Following your own advice has hardly worked out that well for you, has it.

Negative personal post????

Oh right - that would be having a mortgage free detached house in reasonable area/being free of debt/having retired at 60 as per plan and being a lot healthier than many in my agegroup. Not bad going for a poorly-paid single person I'd say....:)

.....and, meanwhile, back on topic......

Back on topic...what, of morning after pills?

I've just clicked into the last page of this and not read anything else, it's definitely veered.

Is your argument that you are quite wealthy for someone who is poor? I can see how "despite having no education" or "despite a bad start in life" can be used as qualifiers, but being poorly paid, or indeed single, is solely down to you.

But you also seem to alienate people everywhere you go and you don't half have some funny ideas if the things you post on these forums are actually true!

As a fellow poorly paid single person I do congratulate you on having managed to get your own home and staying debt free, but having good health is mostly luck, and none of it seems to make you particularly happy.

Going a bit more on-track.

I've just bought a place for my partner and I.

I earn a decent wage, he is currently unemployed, claiming JSA (unit January) and on a work experience placement with a view to get a new job.

I will have £2-3k left from the purchase costs, he has around £9-10k saved.

I will pay the mortgage. He will contribute what he can towards the bills. I don't want him to hammer his savings.

Anything that does come my way towards the running of the property, I will be putting into a savings account so when we move/re-mortgage we will have cash to gain a better LTV than my current 90%.

It light not be everyone's cup of tea, but it will work for us for now. Once he's in work, it'll probably need to be re-addressed.

Your best bet, is to be honest and frank with your girlfriend. Just because she's living with you, doesn't mean your're going to get married and live happily ever after. No one here can comment on your relationship so ignore half the opinions on here.
