We're currently at the early stages of divorce. He petitioned and proposed we discuss finances, I agreed to a call today at 10 am. This was done 2 weeks ago, so he is well aware. Come this morning, he didn't call so I messaged to remind him and politely asked if he's still up to talk things through. He said, apparently he had completely forgotten but he's happy to talk. I proceeded to make him aware I was available when he texted and during the afternoon also. An hour later, he messaged to say he is tied up with things all day and week (not sure with what, as he quit his job and DC are with me) and he no longer wants to discuss anything until I have acknowledged receipt of petition which I have only received end of last week.

AIBU to very annoyed at him for not keeping his word, changing his mind so quickly and wasting my time. I mean, I presume it is more beneficial to him to agree on finances early as he owns the house and the mortgage is on his sole name. I don't understand how waiting until the petition has been signed would make any difference.

You are in the early stages of the divorce. If you let every time he does something annoying bother you and ruminate in your mind, you are going to go insane. Let it go. You have a long way to go until this idiot is out of your life, conserve your mental energy now.

you really need to get a solicitor involved. why did he throw in his job?? matrimonial home is half yours no matter whose name it is in and you have the children to consider. Do not speak to him except through your solicitor because he sounds like he is going to try and take you to the cleaners. remember and write everything down. get all you paperwork together. copies of all bank accounts, both his and yours and all assets. if you are currently still in the house, then remove your paperwork and personal items because, sure as fate, he will do something like break them. this is the wrong time to trust him.
