so we packed up and left and then ex sent a letter to my lawyer saying he was astonished and deeply upset by the fact that we had left and not given him notice, he took nine months going to court etc to get us out and then wanted me to call and tell him we were on our way and where we'd left the keys, havent heard from him since. my barrister on the day in court said she could tell ex didn't want to be there at all she could tell by his bodily manner, she thought it was a case of him being pushed to do it by the skank and once the ball got rolling he couldn't stop it, he didn't and couldn't look at me and looked shabby and actually pain written all over his face. So I guess if I knew then what I know now, I would have taken everything he offered me, ie name on mortgage, carried on working, have my own money, dont get me wrong the court said that if I had put on an extension or built a new bathroom then that would have gone on as a beneficial interest and then i would have had the same righs as being married, but because I was a sahm, i was classed as a scrounger and hadn't contributed to the home, although it was me that did and paid for all the gardening, decorating, furniture, food etc he paid the bills and the mortgage so in a real world I did pay my share. It was only the other day I re-read his statement to the court and when you read deep into it there is nothing but lies in it, but I do believe he will reap what he sows, his new wife his a gold digger, a user and has had more relationships than hot dinners, I have said from the start he will end up with nothing and no-one, he had just come into some inheritance from his dad dying, son nor I have had nothing from it she has had the lot, and now they want the money from the house, which is still sat there empty, 6 months on. ex wanted us out because he stated he couldn't afford the current situation of 2 mortgages and everything else, well it is sat there empty, looking like a disused barn, he doesn't tend to it at all, I think when it does sell there wont be anything left money wise as his new wifey if famous for spending blokes cash, getting them into debt and then dumping them. sorry for being so lengthy, and rambling, hope your case doesn't get as bad as this.
