Re: Husband has left!

Some do need help Chosen. Not all help has to be strings attached.

Re: Husband has left!

They did it so we could get on the property ladder as we could never say the deposit on our own. The wedding my gran paid for my mums wedding so it's something she saved for me (she didn't pay for all of it just the venue etc we still paid a fair chunk of it ourselves as we didn't want to not save, same with the house deposit it was 12,5k 7k came from my family the rest we saved. Bills etc we have always paid.
They wanted to give us a great start in life as like me they th

Thought we were forever. They say they regret it now and if he doesn't come back they won't be doing it again we a future partner because my husband has really hurt their feelings.

yes I know and I would LOVE to be able to help my children buy a house, but Pugloves mother is controlling already and this has caused massive problems in the marriage.

Re: Husband has left!

She's not that bad. I get the impression he is using her as an excuse for his own behaviour. She's been a handful at times and I definitely clung to her after dad died but she's not as awful as he makes out. She's not perfect and has made mistakes but he's definitely using her as a cover up for his own selfish behaviour through all this.

Re: Husband has left!

It was natural for you and your mother to get together after such a sad loss. Most would recognise and empathise with that. He seems a bit cold crying me me after such a traumatic time.

Re: Husband has left!

He is only thinking if himself. He doesn't realise that his behaviour is not acceptable he is only thinking how he feels, what he wants. I hurt him with my attitude. I am aware if that and that's why he says he doesn't want to come back, yet he sees nothing wrong in leaving and I'm being unreasonable for not giving him his own way. He's using my attitude and mum mum as an excuse is she annoying etc yes but she isn't poison or a c word! Whatever she has done she has done out of love for both of us as she wants him to come back. She's not a huge fan is his right now but she wants me happy. But he just keeps saying my family hate him and my mum spread lies about him. Neither of which are true yet he will not let it go, and if it were true I would tell this forum but it really really isn't.

Re: Husband has left!

You have to let that go now though and move on.
Have you given him the name of a solicitor yet?

Re: Husband has left!

I know. Not yet. I've been told to just leave it. Leave him to make the next move. He's a grown man, he needs to actually make a clear decision and take action, and right now he doesn't have much a clue. I'm still hopeful but like Barry I can have hope but still let go

Re: Husband has left!

The trouble is that when you allow yourself to hope, you will not get to that point of acceptance that is a vital part of grieving and moving on.
Until he tells you differently, then you have to accept that the marriage is over.

How will he know where to send the papers if you havent got a solicitor? How will you know what you are entitled to financially unless you get their legal advise?

Re: Husband has left!

I've had legal advice. If he files for divorce I will receive a letter and then I will move forward.

I can't give up hope completely, I physically can't. I can move on with my life but I can't stop loving him. I need to keep reminding myself he isn't coming back. Not now and not in any future in my mind right now.

Re: Husband has left!

No you cant stop loving someone, but you do have to accept that its over when the other person has said so.
By the way, I dont know where he got that figure of £1500 for a divorce. If you get a DIY divorce, the legal parts only costs £455. However this is really only suitable when there are no children and no house etc.
In a case like yours, where there is a house, or any other assets, its more complicated, as both of you will probably need to fill in financial statements and you will need to agree on the amount that you both get from the house, or if one of you will buy the others share. Solicitors bills will depend on all these things and whether you can agree on everything. The more you disagree, the more it will cost and the longer it will take, but that figure of £1500 seems weird to me.

Re: Husband has left!

It's what his back street solicitors told him I have no idea what he has been told! I don't really intend to make it difficult to be better but I do want to buy him out of the property due to me and the dogs. If he files he files I can't stop him but I will not be bullied into doing what he wants me to do to make it too easy and I am not going In without representation. I don't want a divorce but if it happens I would rathe us have our own solicitors. I won't be spiteful. I don't know how he can file for unreasonable behaviour when I was grieving.. But I'm not going to be awful. I just want things to be fair

Re: Husband has left!

I just googled "cheap divorces" and then our city name, 4th one down the solicitors he has mentioned and they offer email quotations and "fixed fee divorces" so it appears he has not actually visited them at all but emailed them for a quote. He told me he went to see them "face to face" which I thought was an odd thing to say and he repeated 3 times "they are not backstreet" so I feel he has possibly stretched the truth slightly...
