Waiting until tomorrow when he goes to work to lock him out the house as he won’t leave. So in the meantime he’s fallen asleep and I’ve poured tuna juice in all his favourite designer shoes if he wants to go out looking for fishy fanny he can do it smelling like one. Has anyone else done anything in revenge like this? He also said he knew I was a slag from the first day I met him.. deflecting behaviour (I’ve never looked at another man since the day we met)

This is awful and I am so sorry, but please try to think with a clear head. I don't think retaliatory acts will help right now, you might feel better in the short term but it could escalate things and as you're pregnant you have even more of an impetus to keep things as calm as possible (even if you are raging inside which I totally understand - I ended my marriage because my ex cheated too). Can you legally lock him out of the house? You can't if he is an equal owner/renter unless you are in danger and have done so under the advice of the police.

I’d be careful of retaliation . I’m sorry you are going through this. Legally are you allowed to lock him out?

Yes. I’d like to think so we’re on a joint tenancy he’s got addiction issues and I’ve been advised in the past to ring the police and they’d remove him.

How long have you been with him?
