Ex partner

Hi. My daughter lived with her boyfriend for 2 years. They have now split up and moved to separate places but the boyfriend is very controlling and angry. He has asked her for 2 years proof of food bills. Can he really ask for that? She paid  energy and food bills and he only paid Wi-Fi and water.  Is he asking as it’ll be extremely difficult to get evidence for 2 years. Thank you

Why do you feel this needs to be evidenced? Your daughter paid, he ate. Tell him to.look down the pan and calculate it from there

He can ask for what he wants. What you give him is entirely up to you

Why is he asking for this? They weren't married presumably and have gone their own ways.

Absolutely agree with above. Tell him to request it via a solicitor if he really wants to, and wish him good luck!!

Hi,

What is the thought process that leads you to believe that he might be entitled to 2 years worth of food bills?  Is this in the context of a discussion where both sides are asking for something, or is it a request on its own?

If it is a request on its own then the answer is to ignore it.  Don't give an answer, forget it, he is an ex, noone is obliged to talk to an ex and noone would be surprised if your daughter took that approach. If he is a controlling person then the right approach is to avoid giving him control and that means not even answering him (as either way an answer will be an excuse for him to say / do something).

If there is more context than this then we need to know it to give a sensible answer, but unless there is a really good reason then the answer is likely to be the same.

He is free to ask.

She is free to ignore him.

Unless, as per the above post, there is more context to this which you haven’t shared.

why is he asking? you haven't given us full information as he would have told her he is asking for a reason.

Did they own a property together?  Not that it would validate his ridiculous request - just trying to get the full picture.
