Hi Sister I’m needing advice I have been with my partner for 2 1/2 years in that time things have moved quite fast, not on my terms I have been a single mum with 2 special needs boys for 6 years before I met my boyfriend to say it bluntly he pretty much moved himself in with me after 5 months, he owns his own home plus investment property, he has been living with me since and I’m finding it hard as I feel bad for him to contribute to our house of living since he has two properties that he owns but his son has been living in his house for cheap rent after their mother Died and not sure if I can afford to live like this anymore as it’s coming to a stage if I can afford to be in a relationship plus he doesn’t work as he lives if his rental I feel the Son is taking advantage of their father and how to deal with a situation like this!

He is definitely taking advantage of you. He is living free while earning an income from two properties at your expense! Tell him you can't afford to live like this any more and you need him to step up and pay his way. What he does for his child should not be used as an excuse for him not paying, that's a separate issue all together. You wouldn't be able to ring the power company and say "hey I can't pay my bill because my bf rents his house cheaply to his son" you wouldn't be able to walk into Coles and say "hey I'm going to need to just walk outta here without paying because you know my bfs sons paying him cheap rent" If it doesn't fly for YOUR expenses then don't let it fly for HIS!
He is absolutely taking advantage of you financially. I would not put up with this.
You feel sorry for someone who has two properties? Hmm
