I've been divorced for some time, and was in a second relationship for four years. We both kept separate homes because under the terms of my divorce agreement I would lose some of my income. Basically ex was paying some of the bills and mortgage, with house to be sold when kids are 18.
When I had a new partner move in a year ago, my ex agreed to leave selling the house until the kids have finished university, providing we paid the mortgage and bills.
Now my new partner has fucked off with the tenant he let his own property to, leaving me high and dry. He's gone back to his own house to live with her.
I do work full-time but am on a low income and can't manage. My ex husband says this is my problem and I can't just keep going back every time a new relationship crumbles. He says if I can't pay the bills then the house has to be sold. He pays our sons a (minimal) direct allowance.
My twins are 20 soon and both study at the local uni. I have no choice but to sell up unless he helps me, I simply can keep the house going on my own.
I know I sound like a money grabbing cow, but I am just trying to keep my roof until the boys are old enough to support themselves.
