I have been in a defacto relationship for the past 7 years and it looks like it is time to end it. I would like to get an idea what kind of financial responsibility I have. Here are the facts.
1. I own the house which we share - he doesn't pay any rent
2. I pay the bills and he buys some of the food.
3. I have a job (permanent part-time). He has occasional work
4. I have quite a bit of money saved from a previous job
5. Reasons to split u - he is not contributing financially to the relationship and it looks like he is having an affair (I know I'm a fool)
He is in effect dependant on me but I do not have a high income. There is no real reason that he cannot find another job which would be more permanent (other than laziness and lack of confidence).
He is not from Ireland and does not yet have an Irish/EU passport.
I have 2 main questions
- What financial commitment do you think I have?
- Is there any way to minimise this?
