I've name changed but am a regular and I have posted before about the problems dh and I have been having.
He is avoiding the problems, dc and I see him for about 7 hours a week in total.,
He repeatedly lets us down, says hurtful things and doesn't do much with us at all.
I don't want to hurt him, I want him to be okay but I want out of this relationship. How do I do it?

Get your money sorted first.

There's nothing really to sort. No savings, I do work, full-time student and we stay in a council house which is in my name.

Make sure you have all the important documents for you and DC in a safe place. Get copies of all your financial assets - bank accounts, house deeds & mortgage, pensions, savings, cars & other big items, credit card statements, and so on.

If there is much money or credit available, either change the passwords & PINs to those accounts or move the money to an account of your own. I know this isn't very nice, but neither is finding a STBX has gone on a spending spree with the marital assets (or hidden them in an offshore account.)

Then Just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just listen to me.
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free.

... And petition for divorce.

Good luck!

Ah, xposted :)

Ring up the council? Apart from anything else, you'll be wanting your 25% council tax discount.

I guess then its just a case of having that conversation.

Good luck.
