He won't accept we're separated

We split nearly three months ago after I found out about an inappropriate relationship with another woman. It's not the first time and I said if it happened again we'd split. So we have.

However, he's still messaging me daily to ask me to talk about saving our marriage. I've told him repeatedly I don't want to talk about this as it's over. I feel trapped. He's just not listening to me.

God he really is deluded isn't he.

cece · 11/10/2020 20:08

Oh it's definitely about the money. I know that.

He is pathetic. How are the children?

RandomMess · 11/10/2020 20:53

What he means is he can't afford a swanky bachelor pad without cashing in some investments/pension - my heart bleeds, not.

Deep breath. As my MiL used to say to people like him; "Want in one hand and shit in the other and see which one gets filled first".

Actually, best just to roll eyes, smile, nod, and say (or think) "See you in Court".

cece · 12/10/2020 06:55

The kids are ok. They'd rather not move but understand why.

I hope they can see I'm happier. It definitely feels more like a family home now he no longer lives with us.

Can the courts force him to agree an asking price? I don't know how that works. My friend was stuck with an unsellable house for ages as her ex H wouldn't agree to lower the price but I don't think they were doing that through solicitors

cece · 21/12/2020 20:04

Update.

House is under offer. I've made an offer on a house. He's still being difficult. Even my solicitor told me he was very difficult. 😂😂😂

Lol at least it makes you feel validated that you are not going made about his behaviour, having another person notice. Glad things are moving on for you. Happy Christmas

Great news cece. Hope the sale and purchase go smoothly

Mix56 · 22/12/2020 17:12

2021 will be the year !

@cece

Congratulations to you Grin

You've had a horrible year, but at least you're coming out the other side !

I hope the sale goes well.

2021, even with Covid, will most definitely be the year you regain your freedom ! Grin

cece · 22/12/2020 18:10

Thanks. He still thinks we are going to reunite but I'll be free soon....

OP you are amazing - what a bloody marathon.

cece · 23/12/2020 18:14

I'm so excited. My offer has been accepted on the little house I like. Hopefully it'll all go through smoothly and I'll be moving soon.

I've never forgotten his "no I haven't done anything about it as I don't want to divorce" email in response to the papers you filed 😂

As if it works like that!

cece · 24/12/2020 22:34
