Comms69. Dialogue failed the day we got married. Together 4 years before getting married. Nicest guy you could ever meet. Slowly but surely got worse month after month since.
In that case as I say make life uncomfortable for him and save, save, save. It's unlikely you'll get him to move out any more easily than moving out yourself and divorcing him0 -

What a naive answer to a terrible situation!
Doing that would only exacerbate the situation for the OP.
It is so easy to suggest simple answers to such complex personal situations. The OP needs to seek professional help for the predicament.0 -

I'd have thought saving up and moving into a suitable home, away from the husband would be better than packing a bag and trying to get into a shelter, especially when there has been no mention of violence.0 -
Long term LA tenant voluntarily leaving their (joint) tenancy? Not going to be easy to get that kind of stability again, especially with the financial hurdles...I'd have thought saving up and moving into a suitable home, away from the husband would be better than packing a bag and trying to get into a shelter, especially when there has been no mention of violence.0 -

I agree. But neither is trying to get a Non-Mol / occupation order
Especially where there has been no violence, and therefore no police involvement.0 -

Your posts are revealing your lack of knowledge in this area. You aren't being helpful at all.
The assumptions you are making date back to c.1975.
Have you not heard of the new legislation regarding coercive and controlling behaviour? The Police will become involved if the OP requests, there doesn't need to be violence.
It is posts such as yours that reinforce archaic ideas, and that is why the OP needs to take professional advice.
PS just because advice is free doesn't mean it isn't professional either.0 -

Strange, wasn't alive back in 1975... as for lack of knowledge - No just being practical. This isn't a I win or you win. This is opinions the OP can take on board and then make a decision.
Ofcourse I have - it's an absolute joke - but yes the legislation exists. Look the police will become involved whenever you call them. Will they take action? Probably not.0 -
Divorce? If only I could afford one.
Court fees are about 300 pounds, waived or reduced for people on a low income. You don't need a solicitor unless you are going to start arguing about property.
The simplest form of divorce (the so-called 'no fault') is based on two years separation. Time spend under the same roof can count for this, but only so long as you are not cooking his meals, doing his washing, and so forth.0
