Is my STBH a complete knob?

I think the title says it all! I personally think he is a knob to an extreme degree. I have already written about his behaviours on the thread 'Devistated is an understatement' buthis latest set of behaviours has set an all time low!

On 4.11.2012 I explained that I didnt want him at the house on Christmas morning to spend time with our DC as I didnt think it was a good idea. I offered him the 24th to spend time with the DC which he agreed with, saying he understood how I felt. Which in all honestly was a first. Anyway fast forward to the beginning of December, he saw the children on the new arranged time on once a week as opposed to twice weekly because he was unable to keep to the timetable I set up for him. The following two Saturdays he failed to turn up because 1. he had a cold, 2. he was feeling sick. Both dates were cancelled at the last minute and came with the 'sick' voice. Obviously on both occasions I had to change my own plans and find something for the children to do on both occasions. I wasnt bothered as I enjoy spending time with my children but as I had just came out of hospital following surgery I didn find it difficult.

Call on Monday from him to Dc during which I offered tyhat he have the children on Saturday from 9 to 4pm. His response was he might be busy but would let me know. Tuesday I asked that he let me know asap. Wednesday I ask him what was happening. His repsonse was I want to see the children on Thursday/Friday bnight because I'm going on holiday for Christmas as I'm stressed! Stressed he doesnt understand the word - he doesnt pay then correct amount for his DC, what he does pay I have to ask him for each week, he calls when he feels like it, turns up occasionally etc.

Anyway last night I recieved a call when I returned from work saying 'I'm outside I either see the childfren now ort they dont get any Christmas present.' Being held to randsom I allowed him to see the DC only to be shouted at on the doorstep when I asked him if he was still seeing the children on Saturday. Apparently he says I'm changing my mind all the time, despite the fact he is supposed to see his DC on Saturday! so all in all he isnt seeing the children again until some time in January when he returns from holiday with OW and their dog.

In the meantime he has told our DC that he is about to lose his flat because OW has lost her job, the flat is covered in mould, when he returns from holiday he might have to rent a room in a shared house with OW and their dog...as if I'm really bothered by his woes!

He is Twonk isnt he?

Jesus he is 1 giant bell end!!!!

Can't u just ignore attempts at contact and just ignore or do the kids want to see him?

You're still married. Do you own a house together? Do you earn more than he does?
I am just looking at what might be your legal position on a divorce, division of assets etc.

I don't think the fact someone is with an older woman should necessarily be something we criticise. However whatmight happen now his cleaner lover has lost her job and they lose their rented flat is that he wants to come home which if you own it jointly he has a right to do.

You can get divorced even if he wants to ignore the issue totally and if he won;t agree the financial terms then the court will decide them.

Joint mortgage - yes.

Earn more than him - yes, now but that is only because he gave up his job. At the start of the divorce he out earned me and had a pay off of 8k. Of which the children nor I get any.

He can try and come back all he likes but because he is verbally agressive to me infront of the children, and verbally agressive towards the children, or so they have said, when he has contact I will just contact the police because I have already lodged a complaint about OW behaviour/his behaviour. Last Christmas he was physically agreesive throwing a cup at my head, again in front of the children and broke the ironing baord and iron by slamming it onto the ironing baord about ten times because the children were noisey. The latter was not reported to the police although it is mention in the divorce petition so I do have evidence that he accepts.

Unfortunately he has always buried his head in the sand when it came to important decisions and this is just another example.

He called his evening to speak to the DC, neither wanted to speak and he shouted that he was going to call every half an hour until someone spoke to him. He didnt call back - just another threat.
