Ok so I have finally told DH tonight that I am not prepared to transfer and remortgage home until he has given up cannabis for good and he controls his moodswingss. He tells me he is very dissapointed in. me, he feels very insecure, he will now put aside half his income into his own account - I will have to meet mortgage costs. He loves me very much and always will and if I ever try to separate from him I will have to get an injunction. Now I feel awful he seemed genuinely done in. Am I such a cow to refuse to transfer property into joint names based on his past behaviour not alllowing for the fact that he has not smoked cannabis for 6 days and not had a verbal go since 6.15 this morning. WHen i type this i see clearly that he is a pillock and I was right but I would appeciate some back up or indeed the opposite. He has now gone out to clear his hand which he says may take him to his friends house where he willl have a joint but he not sure he confused.

You won't need an injunction to remove him from your house. He may have some claim to it when you divorce him, but you can boot him out right now with help from the police if necessary. What a dim witted low life little turd to threaten you with that.

Provinciallady that's not right. He has a right to occupy the property that he can enforce through the courts if necessary, though if he's been violent she could get him out.

OP perhaps you should post this on legal if you think you might ditch him, but you haven't said you will so that might be a wild assumption.

You're right of course. He can though, slap a notice of home rights on the deeds without your consent - as you are married, he has rights in terms of the marital home.

Ok had convinced myself to try and sort this and then today he has been all lovely and wanting hugs to feel loved and was talking about decorating and then he gives me a big sloppy kiss and tells me he has taken a third of his salary out to do with what he pleases he might put it to a new car. but anyone it is his o spend as he decides twhich will leave us short for the month but he did say that i could borrow some money from him. So am thinnking will seek legal advice in the meantime my skin will crawl and i will never ask to borrow money from him how degrading!

Do not remortgage your house under any circumstances, especially if he he is a drug addict!

My home was repossessed and my children and I were split up! Have never got over it!

Good luck!!!!

OK, so stop buying food for him. If he's leaving you short, you can't afford to feed him.

what a total tosser.

Get in touch with Women's AId, this twat is engaging in [http://www.welshwomensaid.org/whatis/financial.html financial abuse]] as well as being a nasty bit of work generally. You can get rid of him without much trouble.

See a solicitor too asap. If he isn't living living with you as a partner (it sounds like he is trying to disengage from you) then you can claim tax credits etc as a lone parent. He is manipulating and threatening you. Only you can let him.

ThePosieParker · 28/08/2011 21:15

Abuse comes in all forms your druggie DH has chosen financial. Get him out. Phone women's aid ASAP.

honeyandsalt · 28/08/2011 21:59

Ok hun, you know this soppy thing he's just pulled on you? It's not that he has changed. It's part of the cycle of emotional abuse he's putting you through.

Recogise anyone?
Of course, it's financial abuse too.

Pleaaaasssseeee, just to make me happy, tell someone and do not give half your home to him. And see a solicitor.

ChippingIn · 28/08/2011 22:09

Do you need anyone else to chime in to tell you what a low life he is - I'm happy to oblige.

Please - get out. There's plenty of help out there, both practical and financial. You owe this wanker precisely nothing.

You need to let people know he's been threatening you too.
