I appreciate your comments. I do find it quite debilitating to read of the situations others are in. I am trying to be positive and look towards hope but it is so difficult when each day I am expecting more crap. I think the trepidation of waiting for this paperwork is worse than actually seeing it. I have taken legal advice and the solicitor was quite dimissive. Attitude was "You had 7 years, it's about typical, so get on with it". I will be putting my business elsewhere. Quoted £180 per hour for the legal work.
It was W who said she had taken advice and she was entitled to 50% of everything. I agree she has an entitlement, but she has never paid anything in to the enormous running costs in the 7 years. Yet she is able to force me to sell the house and can grab my business assetts too. Very unfair.
I asked her to go with me for some counselling today and got turned down flat. Selfish bovine.
We will see what she is demanding when the paperwork arrives. If she would talk to me direct, we could sort something out without lining the solicitor's pockets, but she has probably got legal aid, whereas I have to fund it.
All this yet she is still being sweet and loving to an extent. There are other things too about the things she says that I don't want to disclose. Not anything bad, but I am terrified she may come across this thread and identify herself.
I went for a therapist appointment last week. £110 wasted in my opinion. Still it was an experience. I wasted another £220 on a Christmas present for W that I suppose I can't give her now.
