Separation and feeling uneasy

[Esmeraldaflump]

I'd be grateful if anyone can identify with my post and offer any guidance? In a nutshell, I separated from my husband because of his adultery and applied for divorce. I no longer live in the marital home, we own it equally, he refused to move, so I am renting.

For various reasons (not child related) we need to remain in contact. The last time I saw him I came away with a sense of unease, like something is going on that I don't know about. I hadn't had that sense of unease to begin with when I initially left so I don't think I'm paranoid due to his cheating. I don't trust him, that's for sure. There was just something about his body language. He remained static in one position, not moving, and seemed to be observing me closely as I was sorting something out in the marital house. The only analogy I can give is that it felt like he'd hidden something and was on guard in case I got too close to it.
What is with the sense of unease?

Has he moved someone else into the house. Has he increased the mortgage on the house and forged your signature?

The property is mortgage free, but yes he could easily forge my signature. Hope there's nothing like that going on. Worried now! Presumably I could prove that it wasn't my signature?

I wouldn't know if someone had moved in as I was only in the kitchen/diner, as was he, so I doubt there would be any sign of another occupant from what was in the kitchen/diner. I didn't notice anything unusual, but I wasn't looking out for anything. He knew the time I was arriving so it's not like he was covering up any random objects! The only thing that is in the corner he was standing static in is the washing machine!

Similar story to yours except I didn’t leave because of his adultery, just his ea.
I left the family home and am renting, we work together which is a nightmare so I’ve had to go back home for various reasons.
My exH will just stay in the same room as me and watch my every move if I go back.

I’ve decided it’s because he’s worried I’ll either find something (god knows what) or take something. He views everything left in the house as his now, even though a lot of stuff left there is mine.
It’s also a control thing with him, could it be the same with your husband?

I think it's natural to feel this way, because he is no longer on your team and he's no longer going to tell you everything or be honest with you (maybe he was always like this and you just see it more clearly now)

Stbxh is acting extremely cagey also. We are living in the same house as the divorce go through. He has installed locks and cameras and all sorts. I've been accused of hacking into his cameras and disabling his wifi, the paranoia is strong. Do you think he could be covertly recording your interactions and worries you would spot the device?

You can check with the Land Registry to see if there's a charge on the property. You can also set up an alert so you will be notified of anything.
