My 27yr marriage is over. things were said that can't be unsaid, by him not me.
I had an horrible life changing accident in June, am still not over it and am temporarily disabled. pain and movemen t problems. I have put on 2 stone, stopped dying my hair, and feel old sad and trapped and am crying writing this.
My H who had been great, has suddenly over the last month or two, been vile, called me fat f***ker and apparently not the only one who thinks this..?
My problem is I can't afford to live in this house with out him, can't get more work, I tried but am temporarily disabled. Cant stay as I am devastated.
I have given notice on my present job and plan to move back home and get a live in job...but it is such a hard descision. Our 3 kids are adults....Does any one know where I can get help...someone mentioned the job centre...would I get housing benefit if he left?.sorry for all the mistakes but I am bereft.
I will reply but am off to work soon. Thankyou for reading

If your disabled you’ll get benefits that way etc
Go to citizens advice beaux and get help before doing anything else
Don’t tell him your mivejng out act normal
Universal credit can take months to get so I’d save some cash if I was you

Sorry for why your going through it’s pretty rubbish in my marriage too and stuck as health problems but I can’t get benefits

So sorry you're going through this your soon to be ex sounds a dick!

In sickness and in health meant fuck all to him then!

Meanwhile, don't tell him anything. Contact your local welfare rights office (run by council) and check on entitledto (but bear in mind that's a guideline and not a definite as the rules change constantly).

Get support from your dr who may also be able to recommend a charity or orgabisation experienced in your particular conditions.

Mse can also be a good site although the forums aren't as busy as they were
