Over a year ago my ex and I split. I stayed in the home we own as I can afford to pay the mortgage and bills comfortably and he can’t (plus I bought and paid for everything in the house from furniture to cutlery.) He is in a new relationship and engaged, I’m also in a new relationship and my partner now lives with me. He currently doesn’t pay toward the mortgage of the house as I didn’t know legally what impact that would have. My ex partner also doesn’t pay towards the mortgage and says I am stopping him from doing it. I refunded the payment he had made for bills the month we split up and said for fairness sake I am happy to pay. There’s nothing stopping him from continuing to make payments into the mortgage account. We have agreed to sell the house and it’s now on the market, me and my partner are looking for another house and I have agreed for give my ex half the equity.
My ex still has some things here which I keep in the loft and if he asks for access to them I get them down and leave for him to come collect what he needs. I rarely say no unless he only gives me a couple of hours notice and it’s not really feasible for me to leave.
The issue is he is really not over moving out of the house, he doesn’t like my being with someone else and just makes things difficult. I have now seen on social media that his fiancée has been looking into cohabiting law and has approached a solicitor for a letter.
I don’t understand why they are making issues now this is almost over. I don’t feel I have been unreasonable given the circumstances (I know for a fact if it was the other way round he would not have been as amenable ).
I don’t know what to do and how to handle all this anymore. I really don’t want this to start dragging out and getting nasty.
