I’ve ended things. I’ve done it.

I’ve just ended things with DP and told him to leave. It was surprisingly civilised. He speaks to me like shit and does barely anything round the house. I’ve been fantasising about ending it all day but never thought I’d actually have the guts. It feels different this time, like I’ve reached breaking point.

I’m surprisingly calm, my heart is racing though and I feel a bit nervous? He’s packing a bag in the other room.

Is he a joint tenant or is he there because you are the sole tenant and grant him shelter?

If he is on the tenancy he cant be made to leave.

If someone is a joint proprietor of a private house (whether mortgaged or not) ,they have an equal right to reside there.

Tenancies and property ownership are one part of the law, marriages are another.
