My husband said he only married me because all his mates were getting married and he wanted the same and he wanted kids. Not in the beginning of course. He cheated with a family friend's student daughter (6 month relationship) a woman at work (ONS) kissed a woman from the pub and then a 4 year affair with a family friend when she got divorced. She got pregnant by someone else and lost it. He still carried on with her. He was outraged she did that when he'd given everything up for him. He pissed around with her for years afterwards but she wouldn't allow him to move in. I put his belongings in bin liners when I found out. I allowed him back for the kids. They're adults now but the H is useful for gardening and house maintenance. I bought him out when he left but now he's got another claim on the house.

Is there any hope for a chap like that?

Yes, his big hope that you would put out and make his life easier.

Turn into a decent human, no not much, maybe if he’s in his seventies he could pretend to be because he has not chance of getting his penis satisfied elsewhere. But deep down? No.

You only had him back to prove you had won?

won what, a cheat and a liar. Much better things in life to win!

id get rid, live your life independently without him in it, who wants to be with someone who says they settled and has shagged others numerous times throughout your relationship.

So OP, sounds like you are actually married, and for a very long time?
You don't mention having actually divorced during your split up.

Unfortunately, he probably has an equal stake in your house and assets, no?

This.

If you are not divorced then he is entitled to a share of the marital assets. Maybe 50%, who knows. Thats up to lawyers/court to decide.

You can't "buy out" a husband with no legal documentation.

ValsCupcakes · 20/08/2024 10:47

Would he be entitled to anything the OP inherits as I read upthread she's just lost her mother and will benefit from her will, I assume?

I have a friend who calls men chaps. Just saying.

It's very common in the UK

Bluebellsparklypant · 23/08/2024 23:12

After all that your staying with him becomes he does the garden & house
maintenance ?! Oh my lord

i dont even know what you asked? so much wank stain,

Franjipanl8r · 23/08/2024 23:24

You calling him “useful” made me feel sick and sad. Please find a shred of dignity and self respect and get rid of that piece of shit excuse for a husband.

Delphiniumandlupins · 23/08/2024 23:32

I would probably swop my DH for a good handyman, I'm sure he would do the same with me.

No I'm a long time poster. Does it matter whether I call him a bloke, dude or anything else? Check my other posts if you need convincing I'm not a guy or doing one of those "reversed".

He's a technophobe anyway doesn't have a smart phone or an email address.

He's not any of those things. He's a massive dickhead.

Get a will drawn up, stating that when you pass, your sons inherit the house. My dad has renewed his will. If I should die in his lifetime, my 2 children get the house. My 2 sisters have been estranged from us for nearly 30 years.

Noseybookworm · 23/08/2024 23:59

OP you didn't win. What a sad sorry life to lead. God only knows why you would want this man in your house. I'd much rather be alone.

Moonshiners · 24/08/2024 00:00

Sorry I thought you had a typo when you wrote chap and assumed you had meant to write cunt.

No. He’s a total prick and you are well rid

Are you the husband, by any chance, hoping to gauge whether your wife will take you back?

Never ever in my life have I heard a woman call a man a “chap”.

There are 8 billion people in the world, all different from you.

No. I would get out now, even if I was 78. I would not want someone like that in my life unless he was a postman or a bin man.

Intriguing

BlastedPimples · 24/08/2024 00:07

So you bought him out of the house first time round. Now he's back in, he could get another payout if you choose to bin him?

AcrossthePond55 · 24/08/2024 00:13

JaneFrances · 20/08/2024 09:09

He's bought household items like a vacuum cleaner etc and his bed and furniture for his room, TV things like that.

He's never going to be able to get a mortgage. I remortgaged some years ago and had an extension. My mom died recently and my sister and I will be selling the property and dividing the proceeds so I can pay the whole mortgage off. It seems wrong he should benefit from that. I want my sons to benefit. The youngest is a high earner while the elder is in a not much more than minimum wage job.

Edited

I'm confused. Why would buying 'moveable items' like furniture give him a claim on the actual sticks and bricks? I could see it if he'd paid for improvements or repairs. Have you spoken to a solicitor about this? Have they told you he has a financial claim on the house based on that?

I can see it if it's the marital home and you never divorced him, but not if there was a divorce settlement and you got the house/bought him out. Were you divorced and you remarried him or have you never been divorced?

Is this the marital home?

kkloo · 24/08/2024 00:15

Have you sought legal advice on this?
