He didn't tell me he received a significant inheritance - Page 3

post #41 of 42
If he's so sorry, he'll hand over every cent he's got because he knows he owes it to you. Now.

You are supporting him, so wouldn't now be a good time for him to put some money on the table? Seriously... he pays when you go out to eat? I guess that's nice, but how about supporting his family? When he DID have money, he did not even tell you. That is not a partnership. And the account for your daughter? Do you have access to that? If not, how do you trust him? Anyone can open an account with about $25. I wouldn't trust that there'll be much there in the future.

He doesn't really sound like he's got a lot going for him (I can't abide liars), but if for some reason you want to continue the relationnship, can't it happen while he's not being supported by you? Because he's got a good thing going, not having to support himself, he may just tell you what you want to hear. It doesn't sound like there's much conscience there. Like the old "fool me once" saying goes...

Wow Mamma!

It sounds like you really dont want to kick him to the curb or go for cs or any of that. So here is what I would do (and I did do this to my DH many yrs ago when he decided to be a dope and try to tell me it was his money and he would spend it as he likes)

Write up every single expense you have..that means, rent,food,utilities,clothes for dd, house stuff (toiletries, cleaning supples etc) and put a price on it all..give him half the bill per month and tell him either you pay HALF of it everything in this house or you leave..your own personal expenses are yours and his are his..if he wants to treat you like a room-mate then respond in kind I even went so far as to spend every penny from the "family" funds to match what he spent, if he spent $5.50 on lunch for himself I spent $5 on coloring books or playdough for the kids and a candy bar for me! My DH QUICKLY changed his tune and there is no such thing as "mine or yours" around here..we share everything (except our computers LOL)
