In my work, I earn a few hundred pounds a week on average (1, 2 or 3 hundred depending) and I recieve my money in cash, it doesn't automatically go into a bank. So there is always cash available in the house. However, my partner (who pays the most of the bills, mortgage etc) knows what I earn & where I kep that money & he regularly helps himself to it for things. He isn't using it to buy himself materialistic things or anything, it will be used for things like , food shopping, petrol, car tax, general things & the occasional evening out at the pub.
It's not that I expect him to pay for everything or that I don't want to do by part but often (like today) when I went to my money box, to by some basic groceries, there was nothing in it.
I feel like I earn money then he spends it. I am basically self employed & he says I should work more.
He is finding it hard to get work recently & he has huge debts. I own nothing. If we split up, I leave with nothing but the clothes on my back.
