We've been together 6 years not married and have three year old son. He has always been tight but have put up with it. Even laughed it off until now. He's recently inherited £25000 from his relative, I asked if he could put £2000 into my account to help me out and get me out of overdraft at least. He said no because I would spend it? He has no reason to think I would waste it as I'm careful with our money normally. We do not have a joint account as he wants to keep our money separate. I work 28 hours a week but still struggle with the money I earn as I'm responsible for food and clothes buying etc while his earnings pay mortgage. I'm deeply upset and feel this is an unnacceptable level of tightness but I need to know that I'm not being unreasonable in requesting £2000 of his 25000 inheritance, considering it will just help my bank balance become more healthy as I'm currently in my overdraft while he has thousands in his account.
