Putting dh above family

95 replies

My DF died suddenly in March leaving me, db and dsis all executors of his will. DF left a v full 5 bed house, double garage crammed with tools, 4 cars. I live 5 hours away, long term illness and been driving to clear out house on 5 occasions now, normally with my DD and her DP. Dsis is disabled, can plan but not do much physically, db appointed himself in charge of finances and has done nothing else except give orders to me and dsis. DB lives in weathly area, mortgage free etc, in no hurry to sell house, still hasn't applied for probate. My DH having screaming rows at me saying I'm putting my family over him, they are using me, see me as a servant, have no respect for me. He shouts and screams like a toddler, threatening divorce if I don't start standing up for myself, wants me to take court action to remove them as executors, saying its him or my family. I've been with DH for 10 years, we get on but its always been difficult. Really not sure what to do.

Sorry, skipped a page in the thread.

Excellent news. Are you getting your dog before your stuff
.
Friend sat outside her house waiting for her husband to leave to go to the shops then ran in and grabbed her dog and left.

Not sure, he never goes out and I have the only car, everything is in my name, I pay everything. He does home dog boarding so there will be dogs there, I need to try and get them in the back so I can get my stuff and the dog. So far I have 2 men to come with me and if he starts getting nasty its 999. He still thinks things are ok and I'm coming back so I will have to tell him at some point that I'm coming to get my stuff and not coming back, not sure how and when to do that

One very clear option. Divorce now. Right away. No waiting for puppy money or whatever the next distraction is, just get it started, and keep on till it's done.

Or stay, if you like being bullied. I'm sure he has plenty more of that for you.

This ^ with bells on.

Your 'D'H is a mean, selfish, angry bully. He's got his eye on that money and can't wait to get his hands on it. You say things are good when it's just the two of you, but that he hates any outside 'interference' from your family, no doubt because he knows they see through him and don't like him. If your whole family don't like this man that tells you everything you need to know.

Well done OP.
You sound strong and switched on.
Stay strong.
Big hugs too, to your DSis!
What a star.

Well done💐

So nervous, police and a friend meeting me at house tomorrow. Have been mentally going round the house packing my stuff for days. Can't sleep. Haven't told him its over and all he knows is that I might be back this weekend. He's also growing weed in spare room which I was very against. That was the start of my decision to leave. If police catch on we could both be in trouble

HermioneMakepeace · 06/07/2019 03:14

Get professionals in to clear it and pay for it out of the estate.

EileenAlanna · 06/07/2019 04:03

@Rooty2 You've not lived there recently so as far as you know he must have moved the weed in after you'd gone , officer. Right? Brilliant that you're taking back control of your life. Flowers

Maitairiki · 06/07/2019 04:18

Well done - I was thrilled to read your update

Rooty2 · 07/07/2019 02:23

So police rang me after all and arranged to attend plus DSIS male friend. DH arguing with police and ranting on saying my Dsis and db have coerced me into leaving him and I don't know my own mind, not thinking clearly with grief etc etc. Insisting police investigate my dsis as she's done stuff in the v distant past (all resolved). Packed up and left with dog. Police and friend amazing. DH now texting apologising for everything under the sun. Have paid July rent but have feeling he will either wait to be kicked out by landlord or move out leaving place wrecked.

FinnBalorsAbs · 07/07/2019 02:41

Well done op! I’m sure today was a tough and horrible day, but it's the beginning of the rest of your life!

orangeblosssom · 07/07/2019 02:59

Well done. Stay strong and don't fall for his 'apologies'.

P1zzavvegg11ee · 07/07/2019 20:20

Congratulations ! Start your new life

Rooty2 · 30/07/2019 00:11

Update. In new flat, new car, gave him the old one after he asked for it. Have paid all July bills on our house and preparing to pay all August as well.
He says he has a few thousand on dog boarding bookings etc but wants to pay his cards and I am making him homeless etc he will have no money etc so tbh easier just to keep the ddi's in place.
Has been texting me constantly, mostly poems, saying how much he loves me etc etc

Had a 4 hr phonechat few nights ago mainly him crying and apologising and I did think we were getting towards being amicable. Now tonight all his texts are angry, saying I'm evil, I've abandoned him, he wants his wife not this nasty cold stranger etc. Last night he was texting depressed and said goodbye which of course got me stressed thinking he was going to top himself.
Called him out for emotional blackmail, now he's being so nasty I've now blocked him, couldn't stand any more tonight. I don't think he's in his right mind. I've refused to give him my new address and he hasn't seen my car but I'm frightened what he'll do, if he'll actually try and kill himself or what. Does this sound like typical attention seeking or something more?

quirkycutekitch · 30/07/2019 07:07

Stay strong!

Threats of suicide are very common - I don’t know how many go through with it, I suspect a very small percentage, I don’t know if the police would call round to check on him?

You’ve done great escaping from him.

TheVoiceInTheShed · 30/07/2019 07:29

That old chestnut Hmm classic attention seeking crap, he's bringing out the big guns isn't he, well that's ok as you are a strong woman now.
Tell him you are concerned and will call the police for his own safety- then do it, I guarantee he won't threaten it twice.

TheVoiceInTheShed · 30/07/2019 07:30

Then block, you are allowed not to hear this nonsense anymore, you are free.
