My partner doesn't pay anything

If your partner is not contributing financially to the relationship and this situation is causing you concern or conflict, it is important to address the situation appropriately. 

Here are some steps you can consider:

My partner doesn't pay anything
My partner doesn't pay anything
1. Open and honest communication

Start an honest conversation with your partner to understand why they are not contributing financially. Listening to their reasons and concerns is essential to addressing the problem effectively.

2. Understand your partner's situation

It is important to have empathy and understand your partner's financial situation. There may be valid reasons, such as unemployment, personal financial difficulties, or a prior agreement in the relationship that justify your lack of contribution.

3. Evaluate expenses and expectations

Talk about shared expenses and expectations in the relationship. Make sure you're both on the same page about how expenses should be divided and what each of your financial responsibilities are.

4. Look for joint solutions

Work together to find solutions that work for both of you. This could include seeking employment opportunities for your partner, adjusting your shared budget, or exploring other ways to contribute, such as working at home or investing time.

5. Establish clear agreements

If you come to an agreement on how to handle shared expenses, be sure to put it in writing. This can help avoid misunderstandings in the future.

6. Consider equality and mutual respect

Make sure the agreed upon solutions are fair and equitable for both of you. Prevents one party from feeling like they are taking on a disproportionate burden.

7. Seek professional advice

If the lack of financial contribution is due to deeper problems in the relationship or significant financial difficulties, it may be helpful to seek advice from a couples therapist or financial advisor.

8. Evaluate the relationship as a whole

If your partner's lack of financial contribution creates ongoing tension and the relationship becomes unsustainable, it is important to consider whether the relationship is viable in the long term. Financial and emotional health in a relationship is essential.

Remember that each situation is unique, and the most important thing is to approach the problem with empathy, respect, and open communication. The goal should be to find a solution that is fair and equitable for both of you and that allows the relationship to thrive.

How heat pumps work

  In this article we explain how heat pumps work, what types exist and what their advantages and disadvantages are. Heat pumps are devices that take advantage of thermal energy from the environment to transfer it from one place to another, depending on the heating or cooling needs.  How heat pumps work What is a heat pump? A heat pump is a system that uses a refrigerant fluid to absorb heat from a cold source and transfer it to a hot source, through a reversible thermodynamic cycle.  The refrigerant fluid changes from liquid to gaseous state and vice versa, depending on the pressure and temperature to which it is subjected. The basic operation of a heat pump can be summarized in four stages: - Evaporation:  the refrigerant fluid circulates through an evaporator, where it absorbs heat from the environment (air, water or earth) and evaporates. - Compression:  the refrigerant vapor passes through a compressor, where its pressure and temperature are increased. - Con...

The rabbit's strategy

A popular tale from Venezuela where the strategy of the rabbit that was caught by a tiger and how he managed to escape is told. On a lovely summer afternoon, a rabbit was resting peacefully, lying on the grass. Silently, a tiger approached him and with a roar, threatened him. -You're mine, elusive rabbit! I've been trying to catch you for days and I finally have you! There was no escape! He had the tiger's jaws so close that he could even feel his fetid breath on his pink nose. The only possibility he had left was to take advantage of his own cunning. – Wait a moment, wait a moment, Mr. Tiger! I have something very important to tell you. – What do you want? I don't feel like talking, I feel like eating you in one bite! The rabbit swallowed his saliva and faced him, disguising his fear. -Have you seen me well? Don't you see how skinny and small I am? – Yes, but I don't care! I'm going to eat you anyway, so don't resist! – Well, you're wr...
