Been split from ex partner for nearly a year now. I still live in the family home which has been on the market since we separated. I'm trying to get it sold so I can move on completely. I pay the mortgage on my own after ex moved out.
Ive been seeing someone for a couple of months now. Although its still early days, I do hope to introduce him to the kids in a couple of months. We struggle to have time together as my ex doesn't have the kids very often.
I am really worried about telling him. He was very volatile when we first separated and, although he's calmed down now, I have no clue how he will take it.
Because he technically owns half the house, I'm scared he will cause trouble with the sale. We owe my parents money when the house sells and I'm also scared he might take some of that money.
It would probably make sense to wait for the house to sell first but its taking a long time and still no interest.
Does anyone have any personal experience of this? Any advice on how to approach it?
Is it disrespectful to have my new partner in the family home? I can imagine he won't be happy about that either.
