    You call her wife on all your other threads too, the going on holiday thread doesn't really matter, but something like this thread, the advice you get regarding splitting up implications etc varies if married or not so it's worth noting that.
    Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....

    You aren't the first and won't be the last!


    But, as Gomer was saying in earlier posts, these things happen to people in already unstable/broken relationships.


    So your wife ( now you say girlfriend) has seen the relationship is broken beyond repair an, totally understandably, decided to move on.


    And, that's what you need to do too. Look to the future and ensure that you cherish the right person when she comes along.

    You referred to her as wife in this thread too:
    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6037606/owed-100-worth-pursuing
    My wife sold some toys of my daughters, for £100 via gumtree, i told her do not send items until you receive money, she told me she had received money.

    Posted toys at cost of £18 last week then yesterday she admitted she had not been paid, she is obviously upset and so am i at how foolish she has been.

    We have messages confirming price, and have proof of delivery from royal mail.

    Is it worth pursuing a letter before action perhaps leading to small claims court.


    I suggest you stop all this obfuscation and tell the truth if you want relevant advice.
