Oh, love I wish I knew what to say, I found hundreds of messages my partner had been sending too. Its brutal. Can you seek out some support for depression & the self harm?
 
I have lived with my boyfriend for 3 years, my dad died in January and he had the cheek to argue with me when I said I thought he should wear a suit rather than a jumper. Can’t forgive him, there is now no affection or anything at all between us.
I have asked him to let me buy him out as I work from home, my widowed mum is round the corner etc but now he is saying he wont let me he wants to sell..what can I do?!
 
That seems petty to want you to sell rather than you buy him out? If you have it valued and you give him half then he's not losing out is he?

Thats exactly what I’ve offered and he’s now acting like a 5 year old!
The whole 3 years we have lived here I have gone for every food shop, done every washing, washed every dish etc and if I ever asked him to help I was told to “stop moaning” now I finally feel I have had enough and this is what I’m getting

Just sell it to get rid of him and then get another place yourself. x He sounds an oaf, what man would wear a jumper at a funeral?...

Honestly I'd go to the Drs and get some medication to calm me down and get some space from him, either you go or ask him to go.You are going to end up in a right state at this rate. You dont want your health to suffer or to get in trouble with the Police. Its not worth it. Can you get some support from your family or a friend?

To your father in laws at that?! He now denies ever doing this also which tells you everything..
 
It boggles my mind that women put up with this shit. How is that a partner?! It’s more like the worst possible flat mate you had at uni ! It’s good to know you’ve realised your worth and have called it quits. Good luck with the house — he sounds immature enough to make the process as laborious as possible.

Seek some legal advice about it before caving and agreeing to what he wants. You should absolutely have the right to buy him out. He'd get more money that way too.

I absolutely do not want to give in to him, he keeps saying he has to agree to me buying him out but I have to agree to sell also so I might end up stuck here forever haha!
i also forgot he did sign the transfer of equity form but is now saying I forged his signature and its fraud and as I’m a mortgage advisor it could cost me my job...which I absolutely did not do!!

Wow. What an arsehole. Yes, I'd definitely get some legal advice. I am sure you know plenty of people who can help you through your job. Good luck and good riddance to THAT. Sorry you have to go through shit first, though.

Yes go and see a good solicitor this week and get rid of that utter tool. Being on your own is better than someone as clueless as him.

It sounds like he's trying to create obstacles and delay you leaving him.

I kind of thought this because he says he has somewhere else to live sorted..but won’t move out. He also says though once this is done he will be so much happier because its been so bad for a long time must be terrible getting everything done for you and not having to lift a finger!

His pride is probably hurt that you're the one to want to end it so that's his pride talking trying to make out he doesn't care and then throwing obstacles in your way but he's not exactly endearing himself to you by how he's acting or the things he's saying. Typical man!

Even if others would be okay with it doesn't mean u have to feel the same. If it's affecting you and your relationship then ofc you're not being silly.

Could’ve written this too Bex We’ve lived overseas for 8 years and don’t know what to do as leaving would mean taking the children away from their dad. As a mum I want to chose their happiness over my own but the thought of this just being ‘it’ for the next 40 years saddens me.
Sending love to all you ladies struggling just now x

You need to think about yourself as well, your life matters, theres flights he can get to see the kids if you come back here.Can you have some type of shared care arrangement with the kids?

Thanks for replying
I think he’d be amicable in terms of the children, he really hasn’t been the best husband for the last few years (he cheated a couple of years ago and I found out 18 months ago).
I just worry so much that I’ll mess my children up by taking them away from their dad. I don’t want them to resent me but I don’t want to be miserable with him x

Hi ladies,

Just wanted to check in on you all and update you on my situation... I mentioned earlier in this thread that I felt the same way as the OP... And I left my boyfriend!!!! A month ago I moved across the country to a new home, got myself a new job with a promotion and honestly couldn't be happier! To every one of you thinking you can't do this... YOU CAN! I did it, broke up during lockdown and made it to the other side and you guys can too
