[quote=Anonymous]Op you mention that you have separate accounts and that is how this relationship has always been.  Well part of having separate accounts is sitting down with a spreadsheet and organising who pays what. This doesn't make it a transactional relationship it just makes it a part of budgeting together.

If you have separate accounts then you need to let go of what he gives his daughter.  Your only concern is making sure that the spreadsheet is fair.  What he chooses to do with any of his money after that is his business.

You need to speak up.  When you moved to his house after living in yours you blindly accepted what he wanted you to pay.  That was the time to speak up and tell him that he never paid for taxes and insurance so you won't now.

You need to work out if you are happy with him.  If this is your only grievance then work on your communication skills.  Make your own spreadsheet and give him this one in return and then negotiate.

You are blindly accepting the spreadsheet he hands you - why.  Make your own, which you see as fair and then talk about it.[/quote]
