    Thank you for all your comments i will try to read and reply a bit more tomorrow. I was keeping it together but only until about 7pm. Broke down in so many tears. Lots of tea and hugs with parents. Gotta pull myself together for work tomorrow 
    Or you could have a few days off, get yourself a fit note.

    Surprised myself I coped OK with work today. Exhausted after being so upset yesterday but made it through today. Kept up with healthy food and tea by my parents. Still trying to a way to get her back despite it seemingly impossible.  I know it's silly but I still want to try.
    I am sure I will be able to talk more as this week goes on and plot a way forward

    I believe that loving someone include respecting their wishes, which have been made very clear.

    I am sorry for your pain. I believe you should leave her alone.

    Well after the 10 day break staying at my parents I came back this week.  It has been a few days and I have gone from being strong and confident to being broken and upset again. 
    Looks like she wants me to move out and she us staying in the house. 
    It will be a struggle with little money left living g on my own. And I need to get a car so a lot of expense that I will gave to do bit by bit. 
    She seems to be saying she will buy my share of the equity in the house? That would be 40k but am i not also entitled to half of savings and value if the car we own jointly? 
  • Agree to nothing.
    Sign nothing.
    Get a solicitor.
    And read through some of the posts on this forum about divorce and splitting of assets.

    You know the saying "possession is 9/10ths of the law"? 

    See a solicitor. You moving out and her staying put may be fair and reasonable, or it may not. If you are to move out, how that is arranged and what the arrangements are is important: as you say, there is the equity in the house, there are savings, there is a car. 

    Will she be able to take the mortgage on alone? If not, selling and splitting may be a better option. 

    Be polite, be respectful, but you have equal rights to stay in the house. If she no longer wishes to live with you, she can move out as easily as you can, no?
