Have also posted this in money and legal.
Have decided to call it a day.
Have a dd from a previous marriage(7) and 2 ds with dp(3+2)
Won't go into all the boring reasons why other than to say that he is tightfisted and doesn't communicate - a fact confirmed by several of his friends in the course of our relationship.
I am a trained nurse, but haven't worked for nearly 4 years since ds1 was born. 13 months between ds1 and ds2, so am a SAHM.
My car is paid for(by my parents)as is his.
He works away from home and earns about 4-5k a month. We have a large house(bought for 380k 3 yrs ago) and a small mortgage(73k)
He is 46, I am 40. I am a joint owner with him.
He gives me £700/month for food, clothes, petrol, mobile, christmas club and about £25/week of this, I spend on nursery care for ds1.
I put nothing into the house financially apart from 8k that my nan left me which paid for a new drive.
Ideally I will find somewhere to rent in the village I live in as my kids have a big social network here. My parents and sister also live here.
I have no desire to screw him at all, and knowing him he will have it all worked out.
I have been on the working families and child tax credit websites to get some info as to what I could expect and have put feelers out to get a job, albeit very part time.
My ex dh gives me nothing for dd1 as he claims to be unemployed, sees this big house and £££££signs and therefore thinks his responsibility ends in MacDonalds.
What do I do?
