Is it fair?

The family pot, there is no mortgage or rent. He does all the domestics apart from her bedroom and home office. Yes washing/ironing/hoovering/decorating and repairs. Pays all the bills to run the home and buys most of the food.

Her contribution is to clean her room four times in 3.5 years has no interest in a relationship, her interest is her daughter and grand daughter, controlling the TV. Very little company or communication. Would a contribution of £200.00 a month be considered enough/not enough or another opinion.

Sell the house and get his own place.

Its a relationship, a partnership, so things should be split down the middle.

I don't mean go over the finances with a fine-toothed comb and then demand she pays half, it may be that she earns less, but certainly where the housework etc is concerned it should be a team effort.

More fool him for putting up with it. He needs to grow a pair and tell her to sling her hook.

Does the £200 cover her part of the bills? If he isn't happy doing all the housework stop doing it and see what she says.

Without facts from both sides of the case no one should comment?

On your facts alone it does seem fair, but why have they lost all interest in you....lack of compatibility? Depression? Illness? Emotional neglect ? Don't think the forums are the right place for answers to this sorry.

I am looking for personal opinions, done relate and listened to what should be, not what is.

Her interest has been a very dominant daughter that does not accept No! is a business failure and mother is still paying for it. My home is treated like her family hotel which causes many arguements and more distance between us.

Yes I have a pair but to split is expensive and again me the looser.Been there have the T-shirt.

Is this with the partner you have this account with? If so I agree it's probably not the best place to discuss it

Family pot usually works ok but all working members of the family should be contributing equally.

If cleaning is a problem put in a little bit more and provide someone with a job.

You will then have resolved immediate problems.

The personal ones - good luck only you know what you want.

If you don't think the forums is the right place to discuss this why post the bloody thread in the first place.

I guess it would all depend on outgoing costs to keep up with things and pay utility bills etc.

Yes, you are correct. I wish Admin would include a quote system that posted the username of the person being quoted in a separate coloured box and then the message from the person doing the quoting underneath it.
