Cohabiting and separation

No household bills, he did buy the majority of the food shopping in the last few years

Utility bills? council tax?

Was he studying, working, providing childcare?

Basically was the agreement that you paid the mortgage and he did X or Y or paid for P and Q in return or did he sit around playing on the X-box while you worked and paid for everything?

As I've said, no household bills, and no children. He can't work due to his mental health, so as the stay at home my expectation was that he'd handle all that but I still had to do some cleaning, he did the lion share.

I would consider the food shopping a household bill tbh.

You cannot just look at the mortgage payments.  You need to look at  all the finances as that is what he will be looking at.

You say his income was required to enable you to get a mortgage.

What arrangement was made at the beginning regarding who paid for what?.  Gas, electric, council tax, house insurance.,meals out, holidays?

Presumably you were happy with that arrangement.

 Was that arrangement followed?
