Hi Tina
I am going to disagree with most people on here – but I don’t believe partners have to live in each other’s pocket.
I believe that we should keep our seperate interests and friends after we meet our partners… and you can go join him if you wish – that sounds fine to me .
I have always needed that kind of space . Some men don’t like all the psycho analysing we women do – I psycho analyse everything – my hubby kinda glazes over when I try discuss such things and somehow manages to watch football out of the corner of his eye .
You partner is with you because he want to be – it’s that simple.
I hope you get your financial plan sorted . If it’s a choice between letting your partner help you out and losing your house – pleAse let him help . You can pay him back – it’s not forever .
Tina , you say your partner is a practical person – the help he can give you may be practical but it is help jus t the same And his way of showing that he cares .
Sometimes in life it’s nice to just go with the flow- if his kind offer relieves some stress for you – that can only have a positive impact in your relationship.
I hope this helps – I just thought it might be useful to get an alternate opinion .
