I pay rent to my boyfriend and help run his property business. He takes my commissions and won’t discuss marriage. What can I do? ‘I made a few spreadsheets: one documenting the rent I have paid over the last 10 years, one for all of the unpaid labor’

My boyfriend of 10 years and I became acquainted because I was his tenant. He is 25 years my senior. I agreed to continue to pay rent because he told me that I would get the house when he died. To be fair, I also was not going to be able to move because the rents in my area began to skyrocket, and as a young single mother I wanted to work part-time so that I could care for my young son.

Since the pandemic, we have had to close our businesses and he has had to go back to work. I started an apparel company in 2019, but the pandemic has affected that business as well, and so I have been living off of unemployment benefits. I have a congenital heart condition, and I do not feel comfortable looking for work until I have been vaccinated. I have not paid rent since August 2020.

Six months ago, I became very frustrated and made a few spreadsheets: one documenting the rent I have paid over the last 10 years, one for all of the unpaid labor, and another documenting anything I felt he has paid for me . I sent it to him and explained that I felt he did not value my contributions, and he complained that I had “sent him a bill.

“ You are in a committed, monogamous relationship, but you are not quite committed to the same things. ”

Dump him now.

Sex should be financially rewarding, when marriage is not a commitment option.

Takes your commissions and you pay rent. What is your phone number I can USE as well

You’re a walkover. Better he does that to you and you’ve got a roof over your head than you going into the real world and get stepped on by everyone else.

Move, find a different job, and find someone worth your time 🤷🏾‍♀️ I got married before 2010... before meeting, we both said we would never get married.

That's not a girlfriend. That's an unpaid intern with poonanny priveleges
