I finally took the plunge and ended a 16 year relationship/marriage. So many things wrong with it, his affairs being the biggest. I always forgave and tried again. Last straw was him having people back to our family home whilst I was away with the kids.
Divorce is ongoing, due to be completed soon.
My issue is nether of us can afford to live independently at the moment, we rent now. I’m trying to get a new job with more hours which along with a UC top up would put me in a position to rent.
He works away all week, only here at weekends, has anyone been in this position and found a way to make it work. I feel like I’m being taken advantage of. He does his own washing and shopping, but will eat with us at a weekend if he’s here.
I just need to figure out a way of doing this in the short term, without losing my mind even more. The breakup is harder on me than him, he’s out most weekends, and he’s trying to form a relationship with a friend.
For all our sakes, living apart will be the best thing, but I need to find a way of dealing with this until we can.
