Not sure if my last post worked..
I’m pregnant with my third and can’t work because of complications of this pregnancy. I resent my partner because I always have to ask for money for food, bills and fuel to say the least, shouldn’t he realise? as I don’t qualify for Centrelink.
We sleep in different rooms because I can’t stand being around him, I’m not sure if it’s hormones? I feel like moving in with my parents for some help but he doesn’t want me to go..
What do I do? Please no nasty comments because I’m struggling as it is
Advice please

Sometimes men are clueless with money, I don’t work and my partner always forgets to transfer me money for bills and such, there’s nothing wrong with having to remind them
Have you got a budget that you guys stick to? Is it possible to set up his account so that payments come out automatically so you don't have to keep asking for it.
If you're wanting to move in with your parents to get more help there's obviously more than just money issues though
His response to being asked for cash and his overall attitude would be the deciding factor for me:
"I need some cash for grocery shopping"
"FFS, i just gave you money. Why should i give you more"
If this is the type of response you get as well as being anxious or fearful to ask him to begin with, then I'd be out the door. If he happily hands over the money though, maybe he is just a bit clueless and you should probably just sit down and discuss a budget.
Could you become a signatory on his account and have your own linked card? That’s what me and DH do.
Move in with your parents. Make sure you're really happy with him if/before you move back together.
