To say it isn’t as easy to say LTB?

[Harry12345]

Been with partner about 20 years, house in his name as my credit rating was poor. Earn average wage after retraining for 4 years. Two kids in uni so unable to move out. If I moved out partner could not afford to keep up with all payments. If I moved out I could not afford rent for bedroom size needed and could definitely not afford to run a car. Have put name and on housing association list but do not meet criteria. If I won the lottery I’d be out in a min but it seems financially impossible. Just a lot of people on here say LTB as if it’s easy!

Anyone sensible knows it's not always easy to leave. However, if it's truly awful and you've reached your limit, then a way can be found. Even if it involves a lowered standard of living and a change in circumstances. Your self regard, self esteem, peace, safety and dignity is worth any sacrifice.

Nothing wrong with living together as friends if you can’t afford to live apart.
Do the kids have a PT job and work the holidays ?

It's not easy but it is possible.
It depends on how much you want to leave and how committed you are to making a new start. Think of the bigger picture not just the initial upheaval. Your home can become a prison if your stuck with someone you don't like.
