    Hi sorry to hear that, he sounds like such an a**, why are men so selfish???

    Try not to sit at home feeling sorry for yourself, don't give him the satisfaction! Have you got any friends (apart from us!) who you could have a drink or chat with? How about a night out or a girly night in?? Try not to spend all evening thinking about him it will only make you miserable and won't achieve anything.

    Mys husband has left me 3 times (or been kicked out, can't remember which way round now... oops!), now he now works away and neither of us can commit to moving to be with the other, we love each other but can only stand so much of each other, terrible i know.

    Keep your chin up and loads of hugs being sent your way XXXXX

    Unfortunately since moving away from my family I don't have any friends around here and the friends I do have are too far away.

    I think you have it the right way, I always wondered whether our marriage might have had a better chance if we'd continued to live apart after we'd gotton married.

    I've started my inventory :eek:. My OH came in and asked why i was sat on the bathroom floor with nail varnishes all around me writing in a notebook.:cool: Explaining wasn't as bad as when i had to tell him i'd joined a dating site to get £3 cashback with Quidco.:D

    I'm running a bath and have UU my S & G Calm one Calm all bubble bath WIBA? It smells nice and lathers well but is a bit too expensive. I'd definitely use it if it came in a gift set again.

    I've got 2 S & G Girligo's and a hair supply to Ebay because i don't like them. I've thrown out a mini No7 Intelligent colour foundation because even though it's supposed to match your skin tone it turned me orange.:eek:

    I've just painted my nails with No7's Stay perfect in Nougat but i don't like it, even with 3 coats it still looks patchy ( that could be down to my technique though).

    Still not finished counting my stash and must get to bed soon as I need to be at the airport unfeasibly early tomorrow. I hate leaving a job undone. Perhaps I should keep going....

    I am at a shocking page 13 so far. Can you even post something that long?!

    Oh hon, I am sorry to hear that. I guess the term "amicable" doesn't really apply any more then. :( My OH (legally trained) says if you've not seen a solicitor you must do so now......also suggests you ought to get the locks changed. Presumably you have nowhere else to go, and I guess you dont want any more of your/joint possessions going walkies without the two of you actually talking it over and reaching an agreement. Good luck with everything sweetie - I will be crossing my fingers for things to get better for you.
    /QUOTE]

    Thanks for that. Fortunately I work for a solicitors and have already spoken to my colleague.

    Did ring a couple of locksmiths this evening and the cheapest I can get the locks done for is £75.00 which unfortunately is £75.00 too much :rotfl:

    I wish I could just move out and rent something else but unfortunately I can't afford here and somewhere else. I'm going to have to wait until the house is sold :(

    He's going to have to talk to me sometime. I just can't believe that he's the one that was in the wrong but he's making out that I'm the one in the wrong. If he's got the money to do everything through solicitors he's obviously got more money than I think he has so I'll make sure I get my hands on some of that.

    Well had one estate agent come round today to value the house and it's not as bad as I thought, although could have been better!!

    Worse thing was to come home and find half the house missing. Apparently hubby has taken it upon himself to take furniture out of the house, I thought to have it stored somewhere, but it seems as though he may have found himself somewhere else to live and needed the furniture for his new place. It wouldn't be so bad but he hasn't told me anything, not even that he was moving out, and won't answer any of my calls or texts.

    Trying to stay on the positive side but am finding it upsetting that he can just so easily move on as if nothing's wrong.

    Sorry to have a moan but I just feel really down at the moment.

    Even worse still, no toiletries used up :mad:
    Sending you huge hugs. Well you now know something for sure - and that's not to trust hubby. But I'd be upset like you at this change in behaviour. I think (a) change of locks like EH says. (b) start thinking about accounts where you share access - my friend had money taken from a joint account as they were splitting up - all messy stuff. If you have joint credit cards - cancel them (if poss). Try and see the removal of furniture as a positive - easier to sell the house - sense of space. My heart goes out to you :A

    aahh, anytime you feellike chatting, you know where we are....

    the guys on this thread (i am new) have been very good for me in the last few days, v supportive bunch, a big thanks to all you mad shopaholics!!

    someone i know once said when you marry someone you shouldn't choose someone you want tolive with , it's someone you can't live without. My Oh and I are like that. I think thats why we have split up and got together again so many times. I would love it if he took a job nearer to us but he likes his time away and he gets on my nerves after a couple of days anyway. I like my own space too.

    I know everyone else on this thread is advising you to get solicitors involved etc but i am more of a trying to sort things out person, personally i would give him some time, ypu can still change the locks to show you are not a pushover. Do you have any suspicion there is a 3rd party involved at all?
