I was done the second I found out about the affair and was lucky to have gone to my best friends who's partner works for Citizen Advice and got a crash course in my rights and that he couldn't make me move so I ruined his brilliant plan.
The sad thing is that I thought we were happy and we never fought and had just come back from a romantic holiday. I don't think he planned on her really leaving her husband and young daughters so really was thrown in the deep end when she showed up at his parents house with her luggage and my stepdaughter showed up and when she asked the woman who she was she tried to hug her and said she was so happy to meet her and that she was her dad's girlfriend....
SD asked how he could have a girlfriend when he had a wife....and it all came out and that's how I found out when SD called me saying she was heartbroken I was moving to the states and hadn't told her about breaking up with her dad :(
Talk about a mess and then Ex showed and blamed SD for ruining his marriage and 2 years on they don't speak and even her grandparents blamed her and they told her that she was forbidden to have contact with me and she was 26 at the time!
Ex had OW stashed at his parents house 5 blocks away and that's when he came home and tried to get me to move out as his poor GF had no place to go!
Long story short, he is now flirting with women on Facebook, goes missing for days, had to pay for his divorce, her divorce, child support for her 2 kids she abandoned, and a cash settlement and is now deep in debt. She walked out with just the clothes in her luggage based on lies and wasn't entitled to any equity in their house or assets and because Ex assaulted me after I refused to move, she isn't allowed to visit her kids if he is present and she refuses to see them without him, the "love of her life"...what a prince.
I'm happy, moved on, new life, mortgage free house and an amazing man that loves and supports me 100% in making my new life.
Oh, best thing ever, I got my lovely stepdaughter in the divorce and she has asked me to walk her down the isle next year :)
