Look up Common Law Marraige

Can't speak to UK laws, but if you're dumb enough to create a joint account, it's possible, I suppose.

laws vary country to country and state to state. if your thinking about moving in with a gal, why not consult with a attorney first?

i'm pretty sure i've seen some cases like this in the british press. if you got money find a few lawyers and have them make a file for you with a lot of precedents

This may not apply to your situation (UK), but here in Canada the answer is yes.
We have common-law partnerships which basically mean you are married in the eyes of the law if you have been living together for 3 years (or 1 year if you have a child). I believe the time duration varies depending on the province you are in and other factors may be considered (joint accounts, etc.)

On a related note, I work in banking. It is an absolutely huge mistake to share accounts or list your partner as the beneficiary on your accounts. In some provinces there are 'irrevocable beneficiaries' meaning you cannot remove a named beneficiary without additional legal paperwork being filed. I can't even explain to you how many times I've seen a ex-spouse get assets AFTER a divorce because people are unaware of this. It's gut wrenching to see. I've also seen an un-married couple put everything they have into one joint investment account, then the chick took all the money during their break up ($100K CDN).

I'd ask LegalAdviceUK as they'll be able to give better answers than here.

I'd avoid using terms like "divorce raped" and "feminism lol" though because it makes you look like an incel.

You are looking at this wrong. We don't have common law in the UK I think but that's not your issue.

Women, never settle. If you give her a joint account she'll be happy. Then she'll be content, then she'll start questioning why you don't have a "proper" joint account. Why don't you share with her, because you love each other right, and what's yours his hers and what's hers is yours. "Dave & Sally have a proper joint account, look how much they love each other".

By willingly starting this, even with good intent, you are laying the path of possibility, and she will start pushing you further down that path.

Yes you can still get "divorce raped" in the UK if she lives with you. If you don't have any paper work organised. Maybe not half your stuff but they can claim some money off you.

A way to avoid this is to have her sign a tenancy contract and pay towards your mortgage/rent/bills etc. But legally she is listed as a tenant not a wife/partner etc. You pay all the bills and she pays you as a tenant.
Keep multiple versions on the contract in various places for future reference also.

Don't help her with any of her car/phone payments (PCP etc), Don't act as a signatory of any personal loans, as she won't have assets to help bring down her interest rate. As you'll be held responsible.

I have friends who work in finance in London. They dated women not in the same earning category 100k+ vs 30-40K and it has worked out ok for them when it went south.

I've heard that some places can if you have a partner living in your home. Not sure where.

I'm not sure how that works since we don't have common law marriage in the UK

No such thing as “common law” marriage in U.K law and alimony is vanishingly rare here anyway. If you have kids and split though you’ll (rightfully) on the hook for child support if you’re not the resident parent. You wouldn’t have to pay if it was 50/50 though.

It's called palimony, and yes, even non- married men get divorce raped. If you live with her and take care of the bills for a certain amount of time, depending on your location you can end up with an order to pay up.

CAD 6 Million payout for a GIRLFRIEND he NEVER LIVED WITH.

In the UK, not really, there isn't the concept of common law wife or spouse or husband, the relationship is either legally binding through the marriage contract or not.

That said don't make the mistake that you're home free, you most certainly are not.

Let's say for example you're dumb enough to help her out financially, say with bills, or car payments etc. Then in that case you're willingly taking on financial responsibility for her and agreeing a certain amount of stewardship towards her lifestyle, then depending on the nature of the relationship, engagement, fwb, and the length of time in the relationship.

You could well find yourself in shit for a tidy sum.

Now I know a lot of you guys don't much like mgtow, tldr, I'm mgtow myself, but this is why mgtow state clearly the nature of the relationship from the start, why we don't allow a woman to make any design choices over any property we own. Why we don't sub money to them for things.

Yes we get called twats, cunts even, by both men and women, but at the relationship breakdown she cannot drag us through a court and take anything.

At most all she can do is file fake allegations, that's hard to prove even when there is good evidence.

A UK buddy on mine who followed me into mgtow took what I said and applied it, he's went through a court case where she tried to get a percentage of his house, claiming she had input value. She was asked how much per month she paid, said he'd always refused to let her pay, how much he gave her for her costs, she said he refused to help.

She was asked how much input into design and decoration she had, her reply was he'd always said no thanks he's got it, he knows the way he wants his house to look.

The court ruled on his favour and he's now after the her for the costs. He will win that too.

My advice then for guys reading this outside of the UK, speak to a lawyer, family and relationship law, don't worry about the costs, find out how the law applies to you and where you live, what can happen if you date, long term relationship her, cohabitate, marry.

Find out what you stand to lose for each case, find out if a prenup is of any use, in Europe, the UK they aren't worth anything because a marriage contract takes over the prenup, a court can uphold or ignore as they will.

Fellas protect yourself, your assets and your life first and foremost.

In the US it’s nearly impossible to leave a marriage without giving away half your shit for men. Never get married.

Edit: I didn’t catch the unmarried part. In the US you can still sometimes get railed if unmarried, but it requires that your relationship pass the common law marriage test. Which is typically that you and your partner have told most people you’re married or that you have joint assets.
