Hi all,

I trust everyone is keeping well and 2024 has been a successful year for all so far.

Just a quick update as it has been 5 months, TBF not a lot has changed other than the family house was sold and then fell through at the last minute 🙁 so we are kind of back to square 1. I met a girl who gets me and seems really keen to be with me whilst understanding my complex situation.

My Ex and I have still not spoken formally about Divorce and I dont believe we will until the housing situation is resolved. I still struggle to comprehend that I have been separated for nearly a year now… wow! Every day seems a little more simple and I feel happier and have spent so much time focusing on myself and my mental health. I run now about 40-70km a week which i have never done, I go to the gym and i’m trying to continue to challenge myself which i love.

I wanted to ask also, between my Ex and I we own to houses – 1 larger family home, (ex lives) and a smaller property that we owned but had rented out for many years (my current home). The Houses are jointly owned which is not in dispute but I have now lived in a much smaller house (like tiny) for nearly 11 months and everything is still being split down the middle, it just feels really unfair and costing me a fortune every month – if anyone has any advice or suggestions i’d love to hear? I want to be fair and equal but I am paying the same as she is for a much smaller place.

Regards,

Dave
