Hi all
Please bear with me, long rant but I really need advice.
DP and I together nearly 5 years. I left my ex husband January 2012 due to his substance abuse problems, and have been renting ever since, I have one DD 8 years old.
DP's ex is still living in the marital home, they have two kids 18 and 16.
Naturally, I would like DP, myself and DD to have a proper home together. Obviously with plenty of room for his two whenever they want.
DP is adamant that he wants to get the house back and says regularly that EW is actively looking to move, but nothing is happening - in fact, she has just returned from 2 weeks in Florida, which I'm struggling to see how she managed to afford.
Me and DD live in a nice two bed flat, but I have no garden and I can't see how I'm going to get on the property ladder on my own. DP lives with me and gives me money every month, and frankly if I asked him to leave I would really struggle financially.
Yet he lives here, gets washing done, cooked for, etc etc.
There's so much more I could say but I would love to hear from anyone in the same situation or experienced this.
DP earns a lot more than me, and I also have a consolidation loan to pay.
More than happy to answer any questions from people who have any words of wisdom.
I never thought I'd end up like this! I'm 41 by the way xxx
