The viral post instantly racked in thousands of comments, with many fellow Redditors agreeing that the OP is right for not putting his unemployed partner's name on his mortgage.

"Your partner is not a partner. He's a dependent," one person wrote. "He has no right to any of your property."

They added, "He should be paying you rent if he wants to live in the house. You are responsible for the mortgage, not him. You are responsible for insurance, repairs, and all the things that go with home ownership. He is not. He doesn't get to mooch off your assets beyond the regular mooching that he's already accomplished."

Another person commented, "Where is his stake? If you break up and he's 'left with nothing,' how is that your fault? If you haven't prevented him from earning, saving, or spending money, then it's not financial abuse. I would not let him move in without a written lease agreement, even if no money changes hands."

"So, he's not mentally or physically unable to work. He's not going to school. He's not home raising children or caring for an elderly parent," a third Redditor pointed out. "He just … chooses not to work because he doesn't want to work? And this isn't anything the two of you agreed on? He just forced it on you by not finding a job?"

The user noted, "Yeah, someone's committing some financial abuse here, but it's not you."

Others told the OP not to include his partner in his will: "I'm sure nothing will happen … but making it so the only way he gets your house is through you dying doesn't seem like a good incentive." You got that right!

In the end, the OP took to the comment section and shockingly revealed that his lousy partner wasn't even planning on paying the mortgage alongside him. Ugh — the audacity of this man!
