I got an email from h today basically saying he had called and left me a voicemail on the 19th explaining what the estate agents said - he didn't!!! I had my phone by me all day. He must have called some other number if he did call.
He said that both agents had said that renting was a waste of time as they both had loads of properties lying empty (this is not true - one of the agents he had round doesn't even deal with rentals but I am sure they said that to him to pursuade him to go with them). That the market was slow but the price would make or break the sale. They both put a price on it of the same as we bought it for. This means that since the summer the house has lost c. �20,000.
I just feel like such an idiot because I agreed to sell back in June and it has taken him this long to do anything about it. I have been 'giving him space' and not pushing etc etc in the meantime he has moved in with ow I have lost money that I can't afford to lose. This is my future now we are talking about. I'm glad I did everything I did to save my marriage but this just feels like a kick in the teeth. He basically wants rid of the house as quickly as possible and we can't even have a discussion about it - all I get is an email.
The email is all very light and friendly but this situation is just so unfair. He ended it with
'Hope you had a nice break anyway. I had two whole weeks off and it felt like months, it was blissful. Not exactly enjoying being back this week but I'm sure I'll readjust! I hope Maple is ok too.' What, blissful with his wh*re!!!
I just don't think I can do this anymore. I cannot continue to be nice and to pretend everything is ok. What he has done is just horrible and all my attempts at anything just seems to mean that I lose out more and more. When I spent the summer deluding myself that I was giving him space he was just getting closer to her and I was losing my money for the future.
I know this post is reactional and I am venting but I just don't think I want this person in my life anymore. He has systematically destroyed all that I have built - the home I created. I invested so much in this relationship in getting him well, fighting for treatment, creating wonderful times together and loving him and all I get is this - nothing. He won't even discuss things with me and thinks email and text are an acceptable way to communicate. Frankly I'm tempted to see how he likes lawyers.
I will get some agents round tomorrow myself and see what they say. I want to know if they think the market will pick up and what they think of the price and whether they think they can rent it.
