Hi,
I am living with my partner who has a son from a previous marriage. She receives child maintenance payments and child benefit payments both into her account (we bank separately)
My issue/question is that my partner expects us to split all the household bills 50/50 - that is the mortgage, utilities, food etc but I feel that some of the money she receives in maintenance and child benefit should be used to pay towards the combined costs of running our home before the bills are split between us. As it stands she receives £300 in maintenance and child benefit towards her half of the household costs and I don't receive anything - yet we split the costs between us. I earn less than her and am struggling to have any money left over each month.
Am I being unreasonable ?
