no practical advice but so sorry :(
What exactly is wrong?

GypsyMoth · 03/04/2011 14:22

how long have you felt this way?

thumbwitch · 03/04/2011 14:23

oh dear - is this to do with Mother's Day or just a general thing?
:( for you but do unburden yourself a bit more.

Feel for you bump, but we need some details in order to advise.

BucketOfSoldiers · 03/04/2011 16:12

I'm kind of where you are.

Can you survive financially without him?
Have you a plan for access to DCs? And for any joint finances?

I don't know what has led to this so not really sure what else to add.

GypsyMoth · 03/04/2011 16:17

housing is your biggest consideration tho,would he move out?

thumbwitch · 03/04/2011 16:32

Ok, since you want practical help but can't give any details as to why there is no point to your relationship:

  1. go to the doc if one or other of you is or could be depressed - rule that out
  2. speak to WA if he is threatening you in any way
  3. go to one of these solicitors that offers half an hour's free advice and ask them about the practicalities of breaking up your household/relationship, what you can expect in terms of finance, access to the children, whether or not you'd need to sell the house, funding etc.
  4. look into your own career prospects vs. childcare arrangements
  5. Consider going to Relate to work out whether or not there is actually any point to your relationship
  6. ask him to go and stay with friends/family for a few days to "give you space".

HTH.

Thankyou , i will come back at a point when i feel able to talk properly about it ,but yes the fact that he fucked off for 8 hours on mothers day ,when i havent had a lie in for 16 months kind of tipped me over the edge slightly . Financially i am at the point where i really dont care ,i would manage though .
