Can she go back to parents?

You need to sit her down and tell her what you're wanting.

GNGR · 21/08/2017 21:13

No, she is 40 and lives and works more than 100km from them.

Haven't you just asked this on your other thread?

You need to do the decent thing and allow her time to find somewhere!

Does she have any friends nearby for support and maybe a spare room for a while? Does she realise you are no longer in love with her? Be kind and honest.

If she is half reasonable (from your other post I suspect not) then give her 4 weeks.

If she isn't then if it was me I'd offer the deposit for her to be out in 2.

I hate a drawn out split, chuck money at it if you can. Grin

This one's easy.
Tell her the neighbours have complained about the wild horses neighing.

Thank you

Is it better to break the news byphonecall or face to face?

Although I think that face to face is best I am away from home for most of the next month and so could give her advanced notice that she needs to find somewhere else to live etc

Tell her, be truthful, don't blow smoke her arse with the we can still be friends bollocks & give her a month to get out.

There was another male poster who used to ask questions that he obviously knew the answer to. Turned out to be a massive ego stroking thing.

Having read the duplicate 'shoud I leave' thread, I take back that comment.

hellsbellsmelons · 23/08/2017 10:05

I can't seem to open the other post.
Give her a couple of weeks notice to move out.
Should be simple? Fingers crossed!
