Sorry, I was a bit vague with my question.
My partner and I have been in the relationship for 25 years. We both had homes that we sold and bought one together. We have both equally worked and contributed to paying off our mortgage and have purchased an investment property.
I have not worked full-time for a few years now and have been a carer for my elderly mother. In this time, my partner has paid most of the utility bills but I pay for other incidentals such as food, internet connection, my own car, insurance, etc. Plus I have always done all the household "chores" (cleaning, washing, cooking etc).
I have supported myself in all this time - my partner does not give me "house keeping".. We are experiencing "issues" in our relationship and he is claiming "his" money is his.
I thought it would be 50/50 after this amount of time. Just feeling nervous.
Thanks for reply.
