H sent terse reply back to my email, saying made my position abundantly clear, that he has been faithful in our marriage for nearly 13 years, and he now needed to a few months to consider his original position as well as my suggestions regarding the division of our assets in the possibility of our separation. He said he would come home in a few months to discuss everything including reconciliation and the right way forward for us both.

I feel his response reinforces his unwillingness to recommit to our marriage and I now believe that any possible way to reconciliation is closed.

Am going to meet with my solicitor next week to start paperwork to try to get H to sign over the house (and possibly start separation proceedings?)

As my H is overseas feel I am in a stronger position at the moment to move quickly in terms of any settlement and would be in a weaker position if I wait until he comes back in July.

Although I am pretty much resigned to it, the end of my marriage is still something I do not want...
