Husband's mistress being in our house

142 replies

My husband has been having an affair and is now divorcing me. He told me about the affair on the telephone whilst I was in hospital for two weeks over Christmas and new year. When I got home, it turns out she had stayed with him all that time - he had announced to everyone in the village that he was seeing someone else, took her to the local pub and even asked friends of ours round to dinner. I was only told this (by other people) when I got back home in January. He has told me he wants me out of the house by Easter, so she can move in. I've refused and told him I'm going nowhere until he buys me out and I get the cash. I've also said I don't want her in our house whilst I'm still living here. He gets very intimidating towards me and quite frankly, I'm scared of him. But he thinks I am being utterly unreasonable as 'it is his house too'. I've only known about the affair and that he wants a divorce since the end of December. I'm scared of the future financially - I only work part time, he is a high earner - and my world has been turned upside down. My home (for now) is my safe space and I don't want her in it. AIBU?

Oops sorry, didn’t notice this was a zombie thread. Good luck to you @nosha123 too! Start a thread and I’m sure you’ll get lots of support and good advice.

Well ow is horrible for moving in like that so he’s no catch there has he?

Keep safe. Keep a log of any incidents. Like shouting.

Oops

@BastardGoDarkly

You're married right? Well no, he can't kick you out ...........[ and move her in!]

No indeed but - it follows - that you cannot, in the short term at least, kick him out. As stated you need to start divorce proceedings as soon as possible [fee of some £550] and get things moving. You do need a proactive solicitor who will actually advise you.

The Court "may" order a sale and the starting point is a 50:50 split

@HerveLeger

It is a horrible time

how does a zombie thread get resurrected? Often wondered...

NKFell · 08/11/2019 22:58

Someone finds an old thread, often through Google or trawling MN and posting- despite the warning above comment box saying something like ‘this is an old thread maybe start a new thread instead’.

Hi. I am desperate for advice. My husband has been having an affair with a woman half his age. I left for 2 months but went back to give our marriage another go. The whole time he carried on the affair and made a complete fool of me! To cut a long story short, it ended in a very violent attack on me. He got arrested and I was told by the police to leave the house for my own safety. My husband owns the house but I have lived ther for 15 years. All my possessions are in the house and I have nowhere permanent to stay. He is currently on bail and we can't have any contact. I'm pretty sure he has this vile woman staying in my home. Surely he shouldn't be having her there? He has lied and lied to me for months. Telling me he wants me but carrying on with her. He is 53. She is 27!

@Linnyjay

Sorry to hear what you're going through. But this a really old thread so people probably won't see your message or post on it with advice. You might do better to start a new thread.

Stampy84 · 13/05/2020 10:55

@Linnyjay as PP said, copy and paste what you’ve posted here, then start a new thread, you’ll get a lot more responses

quarantinevibes · 13/05/2020 11:19

He sounds awful. I’m so sorry op SadFlowers what horrible news to be greeted out of hospital with! no compassion what so ever. Selfish git!! Good riddance

Linnyjay · 13/05/2020 11:20

Oh I didn't realise I had posted it on an old thread! I'm new to all this! Thanks

DeeCeeCherry · 13/05/2020 11:29

Don't say anything more to him. Get all your necessary financial information and documents together. Call 101 also Victim Support regarding emotional abuse (dropping this nasty bombshell on you whilst you were in sick and hospitalised, moving the OW into your home in your absence, making affair public knowledge, intimidating behaviour and more all counts as serious emotional abuse). Legal advice regarding your housing position - he can't throw you out he's just trying to intimidate you out. As pp's have said - stand your ground. It may well end up that the home will have to be sold. If it is sold at least youll have your financial share and can move away from these two idiots and have a fresh start. Good luck.

Hi there Linnyjay,
We're sorry that you are having such a terrible time and we hope you find support on our site. We'd like to ask you, though, to start a thread as we are closing this one because it's pretty old now. We hope that's okay.
