The rental house is one she owns and rents out when she can face the work involved.
I'm feeling sick again having just found a whole load of emails which for the first time state she is in love with the OM. Prior to this she has been quite reserved. But now she seems head over heels for them, driving across the country to "save them" from minor disasters, missing them and staying at their place to feel "closer" to them. How can she possibly have these feelings so quickly after walking out on me. I could kind of handle them being together almost until now, but this is too much. Love? No way. We had love. What they have is infatuation and stupidity. It's just a shame they have to rub it in my face constantly at work and outside of it.
I've only just recently reread the Xmas card from last Xmas saying how much she loves me, feels supported and that I am her brick and her springboard to the rest of life, that she can't wait to spend the rest of our lives together, that she couldn't have made it through the previous few months without me. How can all that heartfelt expression be turned into the end of our marriage only 4 weeks later? And now she's in love with someone else! It's totally insane. We were pretty whirlwind as romance goes, but nothing quite like this.
We had only one real financial connection - a joint credit card which she gave back to me the day after she ended our marriage.
I'm keeping as far away from her as possible. I've asked her for the £1000 back, have arranged for my car to be removed from her drive by scrappers tomorrow. After she returns the remaining items of mine from the house (I asked her to get OM to drop them off at our workplace), we will have no contact with the exception of via solicitor, and the single remaining mutual friend and her family who continue to ask me to visit etc.
Reality is that which, if you don't believe in it, doesn't go away.
