But I just don't think it's for me. I'm I committed 3 years of my life to my first relationship where he turned mentally and physically abusive. We broke up in and I still feel the effects of his bullying to this day. I thought we were building a family and a life together but again he turned mentally abusive over the last couple of years and has left me broken. I am in an exhausting battle with him over our house and he is trying his best to force me and the children out.

Women are using Mumsnet to swap advice on dealing with financial inequality and men who do not pay their fair share. The research revealed that in Mumsnet women found a supportive online community where they felt comfortable sharing details of money-related relationship issues and giving practical advice on how to resolve them. The discussions also touched on serious issues such as financial abuse, where partners withhold financial information and access to bank accounts. The study found that contributors to Mumsnet were unafraid to name such controlling behaviour and identify it as a form of domestic abuse. A report of the research is published in the British Journal of Sociology. Our research shows how people want to understand social norms at a time when the context of families and relationships is changing and go on to use these understandings in their negotiations with partners. While she said she otherwise had a happy marriage her husband controlled the finances so that, despite them both working, she did not see bills or have access to online bank accounts. You've got yourself something aptly called a cocklodger. A very expensive one at that. Image: Money by Petras Gagilas via Flickr. Search Goldsmiths.

Bit of a philosophical question I know! But me and my brother are both worried that we don't have very good role models as parents and want to be sure we get the right balance between being there for our children and not over-involved in a bad way I'm interested to know because I read somewhere that most mothers let their children cut free in a healthy way during their adolescence whereas in dysfunctional familes the attachment carries on into adulthood it's as if you are not allowed to be independent, being controlled in subtle ways by your parents and siblings carries on, family dynamics continue to be restricting and stressful. I want to be sure I "let go" of my boys at the right time if that's what I'm meant to do - or do mums always wield huge amounts of power and influence over their children? Please don't anyone say "what's normal? And now I think about it, none of my friends have 'ideal' or even semi-ideal relationships with their parents either there's probably some point there about normalising one's own situation by surrounding oneself with people of a similar experience. Someone has said to me the same thing that PinkTulips has said: if you're thinking about it, then you're unlikely to make the same mistakes as your parents - although obviously there's a host of other mistakes to be made. I think that respect is critical.

Well, this is where things took a turn. Mumsnet has not checked the qualifications of anyone posting here. This is really interesting as my DS is 19 and has never had a relationship. My feed I'm on I'm watching I started. She needs to find somewhere else to freeload live asap. My partner does not consider my feelings at all, it's not that I have a problem with the girls being here, I don't like I said I love them. I wouldn't ever want them to have to share their home with another person. Your view makes sense because your two major relationships have ended horribly with abuse. But having said that, her reaction was outrageous and and abusive and no basis for an emotionally mature partnership. Good luck x. I didn't even have to ask him to do things either, he just did them. I just dedicated my life to raising DS. My ex husband was abusive, and that's obviously had a big effect on how I view relationships. Choose you.

DH is 7 years older than me and has had a few brudhes with cancer, so statistically the chances are that I will outlive him. Start a new thread Flip thread Hide thread. After 18 months of dating we have started talking about moving in together. See all. He would literally jump through hoops for her. I think it is more common, and also easier and more acceptable to do. He is unwilling to move away from his hometown and right now I'm unable to move there.
