I have already posted in relationships but posting again here hoping for a bit more traffic...
NC for this one. I have been with my husband for 15 years, married 8, he's a generally good guy but I've realised lately that we are just very different people who want very different things in life, so is separating is probably the best outcome for us both.
He is not by any stretch abusive but he can be difficult and I know he won't want to make things easy, so I would like to have as much organised as possible and be armed with as much knowledge as possible before I do so.
We share a 5yo daughter and our home and a dog, we have minimal savings and no debt. I work part time and don't earn too badly, but I likely will need a UC top up whilst I get on my feet and get back to work full time.
I won't be doing anything until into the new year as I wouldn't want to upend my life at Christmas time for the sake of my daughter.
What do I do? Where do I start?
