Ex martial home completing on the 10th July, after which time I'll have no reason to speak to stbxh.

I've a few things to tell him / request and I'm struggling to keep it factual while my emotions are all over the place. He's a difficult person and I'm an overthinker so not the best combo!

  • he needs to meet the buyer on completion day to give them the keys (sold through Purple Bricks). I'm too far away now and left all my keys there. I have mentioned this to him before but guarantee he won't have taken notice and has the most important job in the world he can't possibly take time out from.
  • I need gas and electric readings. There's £500 credit on the account I believe he is unaware of. I could really do with this as moving to a place on my own and he lives with OW. Keep quiet about this?
  • there are 50k avios points in our household account I would like to keep to take my mum away. I'm only walking away with 50/50 on the house and have left his pension etc alone.

Any advice appreciated!

If you out the above in chat gpt and ask it to draft you an email you will get a really good start. Chatgpt v 3.5 I’d free to use

Dear X,

Ahead of the sale of the house sale, can you confirm that you are able to do the following:

  1. Meet the buyer on completion day (July 10).
  2. Provide up-to-date readings for gas and electric meters

As you are aware, I left all my copies of the keys in the property and will not be in the area to facilitate the handover. I require the latest meter readings to close our account.

Thanks,

X

I wouldn't mention the credit on the account unless he asks ... ditto with your Avios.

Is there anyone you trust nearby OP to
do these things for you if he flakes? Can you arrange that now?

This, to the point, factual. Totally agree don’t mention the credit or points, just stick to needing to close the gas & electric accounts.

Only thing I’d add is please can he acknowledge receipt of the letter and send a response by X date.
