Hi
I’m currently sharing a mortgage with my ex and neither of us are in a position to be able to move out whilst covering the cost of the mortgage. House is up for sale and fingers crossed it sells quick.
Not a great situaton to be in but I thought we were both doing okay with it until I met someone else. Long story short, the ex or one of her crazy friends ended up getting in touch with the girl I had met and told her I wasn’t single and was cheating. This girl now won’t speak to me (not surprisingly). I shrugged it off but was obviously more weary of my situation.
After a few months and now more recently, the ex has met someone. I genuinely don’t mind but then she said he was coming round to the house for a bit. I said I’d rather he didn’t come into the house but she went and let him in anyway.
After he had left I put my foot down and said he is not to enter the house again whilst I’m around. I thought I was being fairly resonable in saying I don’t mind if I’m away but I have a feeling she will ignore this request and let him in again with me being in the house.
I need advice on what the rules are for this kind of thing. She has joked about what I am likely to do, to enforce him not coming in, saying it would end up in a fight.
I never let the other girl into the house out of respect and wouldnt want to for any future relationships because even if my ex was okay with it zi would feel awkward and wouldnt want the other person to feel awkward.
Can I ask him to leave and if he refuses, does the law side with me?
Everyone I’ve asked seems to think she is crossing a massive line but can’t help and I can’t find any information about this situation. I know some people will advise for me to just leave the house, whatever the cost but it’s just not possible with my current income.
Thanks,
Sam
