Hi TwinDad

He has never had a problem with my looks although I noticed when we have met before that he responded slightly better to me when I looked like I did when we were married - not saying I didn't look good then but just did my hair the same way and wore the same clothes but that was some months ago and to be honest I am not that person anymore.

He has got very fat and has acne and looks exhausted but he says that is to do with his job. What this ow can see in him I don't know!

The house is in joint names (although his parents put in most of the money) but in terms of the law we jointly own it and they have nothing to do with it. I also view that I contributed in other ways to the marriage in that I decorated it, I have maintained it and I cared for him when he was ill and that took a lot of care. Not that I at all 'hold that against him' but I will try not to be drawn into those kind of things. Hopefully his assumption will be half shares. I just meant by 'it's my home' that it represents my hopes and dreams for our lives together and I am not ready to have it all taken away from me just yet.

What if he does try to get into him having a bigger share and things - should I just say I'll have to go away and think about it. I can't validate that? I can't be left with nothing in this. Also, he might say it is best to sell now because of the credit crunch that all the papers have been saying. Doom and gloom for house prices are predicted.

I'm just trying to be prepared for all options!
