Just heard he's leaving us

My partner of 19 years. I've just overheard him talking to his old friend and telling him that he's leaving me! This is news to me. We haven't been getting on for a while now but they were just silly tiffs. He's been travelling for business and he was talking about how his friend can get him an apt for a good price in the Middle East. He does business there. We share two beautiful girls 12 and 15 and it will break their hearts. Do I confront him over it or do I play it cool. He earns very good money but I have nothing. We had a bad few years and I gave up my property and the proceeds have all gone from that. ( you get the picture why I'm miffed that he's just able to walk away whilst leaving me high and dry) What shall I do??

Stolen by him or burglary?

You've got a box a bit clever and get that legal advice about your contribution to the house. Have a look at this england.shelter.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0007/386458/Factsheet_Staying_in_your_home_cohabitees.pdf

Siphon off money and play for time. Look to get back into work/train - although lot of recruitment etc is on hold at present. But do a CV and look into what benefits you might get.

to box, not a box

Get on a benefits calculator as it"s virtually impossible to find a job now. Did you have a career before you met him? If yes, could you brush up on your skills/training online while we're social isolating?
