I am mid divorce but still living with my ex and I'm really struggling with it. I filed in September but he refuses to move out and legally there is nothing I can do to get him out. And I guess, why should he? He tells me he is happy with the situation but I'm far from happy and it's really starting to affect me. I'm so fed up and exhausted from not sleeping with the stress of it.
I know the obvious answer is to go out more but the whole situation and the way he treated me has robbed me of my self esteem and confidence so other than day to day errands I'd rather stay at home, although I have joined a gym, I haven't been yet.
What makes the whole thing worse is I think he has started seeing someone. So he's basically coming and going as he pleases and is perfectly happy.
How can I cope with this? He says he won't move out until our financial situation is sorted but that could be months away. Honestly I'm such a mess.
