I've been pretty miserable for years due to my husbands very unreasonable behaviour. I could go into detail but to avoid this being long winded I'd appreciate it if everyone could take my word for this!. My husband inherited a lot of money about 5 years ago which amounts to about 90% of our joint wealth. We've a couple of kids together and live in a very expensive city. I really want to split but feel unable to as I couldn't financially afford to do this and ensure my children have an ok standard of living without claiming 50% of everything. I feel really guilty about doing this though as it was left by his grandparent. I work part time earning a very small wage and don't think I'd be entitled to any benefits as we own a rental property that is in negative equity!. When we've previously talked about our relationship husband has mentioned he's worried I'm going to make him look stupid by claiming half his money. It appears he's more bothered what people think than our relationship itself!.
