Separating- can husband walk in house whenever he likes?

You somehow missed him saying he will come into her home as and when he pleases.
No I didn't miss that at all.
that is perfectly acceptable, it's his property.
If she wants privacy she is welcome to move out and get her own place (either rent or buy).
I'd say it's just as unreasonable to demand that he leaves and gives her full control. - They both have EQUAL rights.0 -
There's literally nothing stopping the OP moving out and renting her own, secure place, if it's that important.
There's a certain amount of 'helping yourself' in bad situations, this is one of those.The word "dilemma" comes from Greek where "di" means two and "lemma" means premise. Refers usually to difficult choice between two undesirable options.
Often people seem to use this word mistakenly where "quandary" would fit better.0 -
Seeing children has nothing to do with being in ex's home. Can be and usually is done either at his or in a third place.
And yes non resident parent does it by agreeing time with resident parent or if not by court order , ie by appointment.
And if that's what the OP wants, move out and get HER, not THEIR, own property0 -

The odd time there is a male poster in the same boat with a woman behaving badly towards them they get plenty of support too (and an inevitable few posts warning them that they won't because the board is run by man haters!)
You're right that most posters appear to be women and I have seen the odd 'warning' posts for men asking advice.
I've also read many posts/threads from women who seem to want it all ways. Many continue to be SAHMs when they could easily work. It's not often posters tell them to get a grip. Or you get the posts that start 'I work full time......' because almost always the excuses follow for why they can't do x, y or z. They seem to forget that their partners often work full time too as do thousands of other women.
Sorry a bit off topic:o but it does seem unfair.0 -

The OP said " He keeps saying he can come and go as he pleases " which is why I said it could be a statement of fact as much as a threat. He didn't say he was actually going to - you just misread or assumed that.
She also said this:He says he will turn up whenever he wants to0 -
Her having an option of selling or moving out is irrelevant. If she stays there by either agreement or court order she has the right to not have unwanted presence with no notice and no reason at her home.
It's not 'irrelevant' at all. - she can choose to move, or stay and accept that he privacy is not as private as she'd like.
There is no court order, and clearly no agreement.
So " If she stays there by either agreement or court order she has the right to not have unwanted presence with no notice and no reason at her home" - is irrelevant if anything.0 -

Well, as far as I'm aware its not universally agreed that anybody who could work should work. Loads of men and women think its better for mothers to stay at home, its considered a valid choice in this county. Surely you don't think that posters should be telling all SAHMs to get a job or 'get a grip' if that's what they've agreed with their childrens' other parent?0
