Long post, but here goes, thanks in advance for reading or any advice.
In a nutshell, ex had an affair, didn’t want to stop so we divorced, and she is with her new partner.
Unfortunately we’re still living under the same roof (not the new partner - I’m not that much of a doormat) - she wants to stay in (and keep) the house (which I pay fully mortgage and utilities on), but refuses to speak with lenders to arrange transfer of mortgage. I’m reluctant to move out as I cannot afford to pay a mortgage and rent another place, nor could I get a second mortgage. I also feel like I cannot trust her to maintain the mortgage if I don’t, so dont want any arrears/defaults to affect my future.
We haven’t sold up as we wanted to minimise disruption four our DD (5yo).
Since the discovery of the affair/relationship, she has amassed almost 10k in credit card debt/OD (thankfully not on joint cards/accounts), so is unlikely to be able to get the mortgage transferred or be able to take out a new one with her fiancé (who also has a debt history, I’m led to believe).
I’d consider buying her out, but the house feels toxic. I’ve not slept properly in almost a year, and have no idea what to do next. Any attempts by me at rational discussion or conversation are met with childish insults and threats to ‘make my life a misery’ or ‘take me for everything’.
Think I just needed to sound off, but if anyone has any suggestions or advice, it would be gratefully received.
