By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.
VI. No Waiver of Your Rights. APFM does not (and may not) require or even ask consumers seeking senior housing or care services in Washington State to sign waivers of liability for losses of personal property or injury or to sign waivers of any rights established under law.I agree that: A.I authorize A Place For Mom ("APFM") to collect certain personal and contact detail information, as well as relevant health care information about me or from me about the senior family member or relative I am assisting ("Senior Living Care Information"). B.APFM may provide information to me electronically. My electronic signature on agreements and documents has the same effect as if I signed them in ink. C.APFM may send all communications to me electronically via e-mail or by access to an APFM web site. D.If I want a paper copy, I can print a copy of the Disclosures or download the Disclosures for my records. E.This E-Sign Acknowledgement and Authorization applies to these Disclosures and all future Disclosures related to APFM's services, unless I revoke my authorization. You may revoke this authorization in writing at any time (except where we have already disclosed information before receiving your revocation.) This authorization will expire after one year. F.You consent to APFM's reaching out to you using a phone system than can auto-dial numbers (we miss rotary phones, too!), but this consent is not required to use our service.
*If I am consenting on behalf of someone else, I have the proper authorization to do so. By clicking Get My Results, you agree to our
Privacy Policy. You also consent to receive calls and texts, which may be autodialed, from us and our customer communities. Your consent is not a condition to using our service. Please visit our

If it is not your home, I would move out, your partner has showed you who they are, believe them.
Time to do what is right for YOU.
Partner doesn't see an answer because they are not looking for one. The set up works for him/her.
'Two Queens in one Castle' can bring tension but then again, sometimes can work quite well.. especially if each has defined roles eg the elder woman provides childcare, cleaning & meal prep/cooking while the younger woman works fulltime.
Or maybe the elder provides free or cheaper rent housing in exchange for household chores & maintenance.
Different standards of cleaning are mentioned - hopefully this could be worked out with communication, compromise or defined areas you each look after.
However being unable to relax in your own home is very tough. One poster created her own reading nook that was her own Do Not Disturb zone.
If this is 'MIL's' house you will have Buckley's chance of getting her to stay in her own room & give you run of the house.
As said if just living together, she is not your MIL. Time for an ultimatum, Mom or me. Just make sure your ducks are in a row. That you can live in ur own. By living together you don't have the rights of a woman who has been married 15 yrs. Consult with a lawyer.
When dealing with questions as serious and painful as yours, there is often no “good” answer. No matter what you decide, or your partner decides, or even what the 2 of you decide if you are able to come together to make some sort of mutual decision, someone in your household is likely to be unhappy.
I don’t see anything about the older woman’s age or condition. How dependent is she on your SO?
Have you explicitly detailed your concerns to at least your partner?
Wishing you the best of luck with a difficult situation.
Only a few states recognize common law marriages, and each has specific stipulations as to what relationships are included:
Alabama
Colorado
District of Columbia
Georgia (if created before 1/1/97)
Idaho (if created before 1/1/96)
Iowa
Kansas
Montana
New Hampshire (for inheritance purposes only)
Ohio (if created before 10/10/91)
Oklahoma (possibly only if created before 11/1/98. Oklahoma’s laws and court decisions may be in conflict about whether common law marriages formed in that state after 11/1/98 will be recognized.)
Pennsylvania (if created before 1/1/05)
Rhode Island
South Carolina
Texas
Utah
Now you must make your own choice. That has been coming for 10 years. I hope you have divided your assets so that your own money is safe; I hope that you have been preparing for your exit so that it can be clean and without animosity.
Nothing in your house is going to change. You either decide now to peaceably stay and adjust, or you make the decision to leave and get on with your life. You might want to suggest relationship counseling, but I would think in 10 years that was already suggested.
I wish you the best.
Tell him/her that either mom goes or you do, then follow through.
