Background: 25 year marriage increasingly EA. DD14. Always planned to move to my home country. (Part of EA that it didn't happen? )
I am divorcing him after physical incident last August which was the final straw. Still in same house. Financial waiting on him to sign. Then absolute.
House on market for two months now. He found flat that he'd be happy with and getting antsy that the very few offers we've had are too low for him to afford flat.
His last suggestion was that I should make up the difference from my half of proceeds.
DD needs to get settled in new school in next five or six months as is start of her GCSE equivalent year.
He says he will pull out of flat once he can reach his agents today and then not bother looking again until after we have a buyer for the house. Doesn't want to be moving over Christmas so perhaps will wait til next year to look.
I wish to God that I had called police, got him out of the house and taken divorce to court who could have ordered sale etc. But no I went the 'reasonable' way about it by going through mediation. He never took legal advice. As I want a speedy end to it all he has a much better financial outcome than I am advised court would have imposed. He still feels I am taking advantage.
Right now his agents are trying to speak to him about becoming involved in our house sale and he appears to be blanking them having told me that he has left message for them to call him so he can cancel flat purchase.
I just want this to bloody end so me and my darling DD can start the rest of our lives. Have I ever been more stressed?
