Hello everybody.
I have found myself in the situation that my husband is leaving me. A few weeks ago he told me that he's not in love with me anymore and that he wants more out of life. We decided to get Christmas out of the way first but now he's definitely going. We are best friends but not great husband and wife. We have three children who will be fine I know as they will come first.
I don't know what is going to happen now. We have a joint mortgage and I've looked on the internet to see what benefits I will get if he goes. Has anyone gone through this recently - what happens when they leave - do these benefits kick in quickly so that I can pay the mortgage and stay here? Eventually we'll need to sell the house so that we can both share the equity - what happens then - can I get a mortgage if I'm on benefits?? I just want me and the kids to be sorted.
I feel very calm at the moment and really do want to stay great friends with him. Im so sad that this has happened but don't want to be with someone who doesn't love me.
