Hi everyone
Currently splitting from my partner of 10 years, luckily not married nor kids but own joint mortgage. He can't buy me out, I can't buy him out, and we can't afford it on our own so we will have to sell.
I have moved out, told him I want to be removed from the mortgage, asked him to speak to his father to see if he could buy me out, otherwise we need to sell.
He refuses to accept the relationship is over, so he isn't doing anything. I'm trying to keep things amicable and want to stay friends but I'm not sure that is helping anymore. We talk about selling and him finding another house for himself, but the following day he pretends nothing happened and asks when I'm coming home... one step forward, 2 steps back...
I want to avoid going to court to force the sale of the house as I don't have the money to pay for courts, but how long do I wait for him to accept things and start negotiating?
Am I supposed to wait for him for months/years? I just want to get out of it and start afresh, is there any happy stories? Does it end?
