Ooh @Watty1, what excitement to see your name pop up!!! Sorry to hear about the situation but honestly, if this isn't too blunt, you could have spent years pouring energy into a situation that would never be fixed. As it is, you know where you are and can start with a clean sheet and no illusions. We're all here, cheering you on. You can totally do this. Love Humdinger x5

Hi @Watty1, sorry to hear things are a bit of an upheaval atm. Hope you can move on with your new plans, and new life. Sorry, don't remember if you disclosed you age, but I'm sure your much younger than me, and I bought a house at 52 yrs of age, so anything is "do-able".

Filling in forms for mediation and maybe Mr W will show up for a session.
Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!4 -
Hi Watty lovely to have you back stay strong it can be done and you'll come out feeling so much better the other side. I left my alcoholic husband aged 45 who I had been with since aged 21 I've got a fab new life with someone I love and who appreciates me. No stress and no conflicts don't think I ever realised what I was missing until I now have it. Hope you have a good solicitor sounds like you might need it.Save £12k in 25 No 49

Very sorry to read this Watty and don't want to read and run. Have you checked with your lawyer at all? I'm sure you will have just sounds an awful situation. Is there somewhere you can go or are the animals keeping you there? Can you invited a friend over to keep you company (might reduce the anxiety). Thinking of you.3
