In defacto relationships they can make a claim after 2 years and in fact, they don't even need to live together. My children's inheritance could in fact, go to her and her children. Ugh!! Somehow I think H has seen the financial contribution but not much else. I pointed it all out yesterday cos I was t the stage where I figured I had nothing to lose. I was surprised just how easily he opened up to me although some of it was justifying. He never said, "It's nothing to do with you" In fact, the opposite and he was very receptive to opening up communication, especially since he said he didn't realise he stopped it.
Ow is not the brightest girl either...so yes, she's there to help H feel good about himself. It's so silly cos H is a really intelligent person but his self esteem is shot and he's using ow to feel good about himself and ow feels good cos H has a house, a plane, a nice car (hers is a bomb) and he loves to spend money on himself.
When I see him I do try to work on words of affirmation but I have thought that the months ahead could also be a bit of fun. Last night my house alarm went crazy and security tried to work with me to reset it but no success. I text H and he rang me back and he said he would come over tomorrow and fix it. How perfect! Now ow will have no idea but I feel sure that she;ll be snooping around and checking his phone and pc when she can.
