DEAR DEIDRE: MY partner keeps asking me to move in with him but at the same time he refuses to financially support me and my son.
I’d like to be with him but his lack of commitment worries me – that and the fact he insists I would need to get a full-time job.
He works full-time and earns a comfortable wage.
I have an 11-year-old and work part-time.
If I got a full-time job, I’d lose a huge chunk of my benefit support, which I rely on for my son.
My son also has a lot of hospital appointments that I have to take him to.
Every problem gets a personal reply from one of our trained counsellors.
Fill out and submit our easy-to-use and confidential form and the Dear Deidre team will get back to you.
You can also send a private message on the DearDeidreOfficial Facebook page.

DEIDRE SAYS: Say to your partner that he needs to see your son as part of the package.
If working part-time gives you both the life balance you need, and enables you to take him to appointments, then your partner should take that on board.
