My partner has been living in my house (owned by me) for two years. He has been giving some sums of money over that time, and willingly says he will pay bills. However I realise that if he does that (and puts the bills in his name) he may well have some claim on the house so I have been advised not to let him do that. However I am now feeling very angry that he is freeloading and living off me. Any mention of a proper agreement results in a row as he sees this as an affront and unnecessary and thinks that I don't trust him. He thinks he is being generous and is happy just to pass ad hoc amounts of money to my account and continue to contribute various amounts to household expenditure but I am increasingly wary of keeping on with this arrangement (we are both in our 70s and he has independent wealth). I should add that at the beginning he told it this living situation (ie him staying in the house) was only temporary, but now it's impossible to start a discussion about finances and legalities. It all feels like a mess. I should be grateful for comments.
