Hello all,
I really need some advice. I am recently separated from my OH (3 weeks) but currently still living in the same house. We have been together for 15 years and have one daughter.
I am viewing/finalising a house to rent tomorrow but it may be another week or two until I can move in. We first discussed me staying in the house until I got sorted out somewhere else. I was trying to be amicable, the house is in his name and I said I would be happy to leave with only my own personal items and nothing from the rest of the house to cause the least disruption to our child.
I am basically going to be leaving with nothing and have to set up a new home from scratch. I work full time but it is going to be very difficult.
I told my ex I was going to stay at a friends on Friday night - I need time out away from the house as it is emotionally devastating at the moment. However, he said if I do, I may as well not come back, essentially giving me an ultimatum. Am I wrong in needing that time, just one night? Or is he being unreasonable - can he actually enforce this? I will have nowhere to go, I have so much to sort out and I really don't know what to do. He says his priority is our child, but is this the best way?
Please help, I don't know if it is me being selfish at the moment or him making unreasonable demands, my head is a complete mess and I need an outside point of view.
Thank you in advance.
