Partner had an affair and wont leave.

Hey everyone,

This week I found out that my partner of ten years and the farther of my children was having a long term affair. I confronted him and he has admitted it, he said that he had ended it and he wants me back. I have since found out that he hasn't ended it with her and they are still in a relationship. I have politely asked him to leave as I'm trying to be mature about it for the sake of the children but he is refusing to leave the house. Now we both own the property so I am aware that I cant make him leave unless he has been violent towards me or the children. Is there any other way to get him to leave, even if its temporary. I just need breathing space for the sake of my mental health. I don't want him back so I also need to sort out my finances. If I am living in the property with the kids and he pays half of the mortgage would I be able to claim universal credits? My childcare bills are over £1000 a month and there is no way I can do this without some help. Any advice would be welcome. Thank you in advance!

Sorry you're going through this. Can you get his family involved? Would they help you get him out knowing that their son/sibling is leading a double life? If he could stay with them for a while, you'd have the breathing space you deserve.

Also why not ask a family member to move in for a bit and support you? It might annoy him and help push him out.

So his parents know and they were shocked and just didn't know what to say. His parents seem to be on my side and are being so supportive but have said they don't want him back. He has always had anger issues and is not the easiest person to live with. He is also not answering there calls or messages. Other than that he doesn't have any other family.

I get why he would think that but he has another relationship and she owns her house. He could move in with her. Otherwise if me and the children move out then we wont have anywhere to go. I dont want to move the kids school and nursery either.

Yes but thats why YOU think he should leave, of course any decent man would but hes already proved he isn't one

You need to get the house up for sale OP.

You can’t make him leave and if he did leave then he wouldn’t have to continue paying his half of the mortgage/bills so you’d be stuck that way.

The only way to move forward is to get the house sold, get your equity to move on and then put in a CMS claim x
