Thank you for that good advice. Ive waited a year and (for the last 6 after I got wise and calmed down) have done all the right things. The problem is that I finish work in 3 months time I am 59 and wont be able to afford the rented place I am living in at the moment. He is also renting in another part of the country. I will do anything to save this marriage;have learned to live without him,but need financial settlement I am hoping we can come to an agreement without divorce-this would be in his interest he has a large pension fund and Ive been told after 28 years he would have to share it.If I could manage I would leave him totally alone and let him decide even if it took another year.I know that to go ahead and divorce him in order to survive financially will be the end of us.What on earth can I do in this circumstance?
