誰花錢?
How can I stop my partner sponging off me all the time?
By Bel Mooney for the Daily Mail
My relationship with my partner of 12 years is being soured because of money. I don’t think he realises what an issue it has become.
We both work full-time and we should be able to live comfortably.
The problem is that he is a lot more comfortable than I am.
'My partner has a sizeable amount of money saved, but had only a very small amount when we met. So I can't help feeling he's piled up this nest egg with my money'
'My partner has a sizeable amount of money saved, but had only a very small amount when we met. So I can't help feeling he's piled up this nest egg with my money'
I pay all the household bills, do a large shop monthly and pay for incidentals — a new iron, towels, household items that can need replacing.
I think he sees this as my job. When I have mentioned it before, he has said that he pays half for the big things, so he can’t see a problem.
He pays ‘rent’, as he calls it, of £80 per week and really thinks this is a fair amount to cover all utilities, rent, lunches, everything down to shower gel and toothpaste. And that’s it for him — whereas most of my pay is gone in keeping us.
I have even taken to working shifts (to increase my income and allow me to save), which I hate and find tiring.
My partner has a sizeable amount of money saved, but had only a very small amount when we met. So I can’t help feeling he’s piled up this nest egg with my money.
I have tried to talk to him about money but it ALWAYS ends in bad feeling or a row. He gets annoyed and defensive.
I’ve pretty much given up, but have an undercurrent of resentment running through me, affecting how I behave.
I’m quiet, often moody and unresponsive, and just find him getting on my nerves. I no longer buy little surprise gifts, since in the past all he has said is ‘What’s that for?’
He has never bought me anything he didn’t feel obliged to — at birthdays or Christmas.
My last birthday he gave me money and I bought a new microwave (ours was on its last legs) and he didn’t bat an eyelid!
It’s not the money as such, but vastly differing attitudes. I don’t understand how, if you profess to love someone, you wouldn’t want to help them stop struggling.
Maybe that’s what I am really unhappy about. But what to do? End it? I’m annoyed with and feel sorry for myself.
Honestly, I find it impossible to believe (despite the proofs that come every week in my postbag) that a couple can share a life for 12 whole years yet share so little of what they feel and need.
列車出軌翻覆!
Taiwan train derailment in Yilan County kills at least 18
At least 18 people have been killed and 170 injured in a passenger train derailment in north-east Taiwan.
Railway authorities say they are investigating the accident, which happened in Yilan County at about 16:50 local time (08:50 GMT) on Sunday.
A total of 366 people were on the train travelling between Taipei and the eastern county of Taitung when all eight of its carriages derailed.
The authorities now say they have freed everyone from the wreckage.
The Puyuma Express 6432 service reportedly came off the tracks close to Xinma station, near the town of Su'ao about 70km (43 miles) from Taipei.
The deputy chief of the Taiwan Railways Administration, Lu Chieh-shen, told a news conference on Sunday that the train was only six years old and had been in "pretty good condition" before the accident.
It is not immediately clear what caused the train to derail, but witnesses told local media they heard a loud noise then sparks and smoke.
Emergency medical responders and firefighters are helping the injured and the defence ministry says it has sent 120 soldiers to help with rescue efforts.
An AFP news agency reporter at the scene said more bodies were being removed from the damaged carriages at about 20:00 local time (12:00 GMT) on Sunday night.
Reports say an American citizen was lightly injured in the accident.
Taiwan's leader, Tsai Ing-wen, described the accident as a "major tragedy" on Twitter.
"My thoughts are with all the victims and their families," she added.
Taiwan has an extensive train network and more than half a million passengers travel on the system every day.
