Step 1 - Do not sign anything
Step 2 - Obtain paid legal representation
Step 3 - Do that they say
My wife saw a solicitor a couple of years ago, more in a last ditch attempt to save our marriage.
She still thinks she would have got the house, £200k worth all her saving £50k (I have none), 1/2 what's in my business £30k, half my pension, and an income for life. I would get to keep the buy to let, which has a loan of £80k on it and £60k equity.
We are over 50, been married 30 years, and our kids are grown up.
I spoke to 3 solicitors and they all said, I should target a clean break and 50% of everything.

That the solicitors on each side are so far apart, suggests that actually they want the whole fking lot.
They know exactly what you can afford, and they know how to use up billing hours to get it.

We are still together and in a much happier place.


Thank you for your advice. I’m really happy you and your wife worked things out.

Fair enough - the pic of the phone pic on the phone, pic. (you Dawg....) Does seem to be more genuine.
Agree, not can we have the pic without the phone?
Haha, probably not

Ok so hubby is coming out of the priory today, it didn’t last long. It’s a shame but it’s his decision.
I’ll be giving him his phone back on my way back from Portsmouth this evening so I’ll be out of here. If any of you have any constructive comments or advice please find my login soon-to-be-ex-shadowy_me as I can’t post here under that login.

Last question:

Apart from everything else, he has also been posting ads on Craig’s list, hello London and gum tree and told me that they were just to chat to people to make himself feel better. To me it looks like they were ads for sex. Can you tell me your male opinion please?
1. “Nice guy looking for wild passion”
2. “Bored and looking for daytime fun”
3. “ Single guy looking for adult fun”
4. “ English guy looking for hook ups”

This thread is a classic PH example of why abused women struggle to get help, many refuse to believe these things happen in real life if they haven't experienced them themselves, particularly the woman haters of PH.

Well done guys you have come through again with all the expected abuse, you are almost in the same class as her husband.

If the roles were reversed and it was our female friend doing the cheating and abusing, everyone would be sympathetic and would believe every word being posted by her husband.

Instead of that ,even after the husband has admitted the errors of his ways the die hards on here turn on the wife and tells her she is a greedy so and so because hubby wants to make amends with the divorce settlement.

Even if this is a troll thread it reflects the beliefs of of those posting and shows up many for the type of people they really are.

Funny old world, keep up the abuse guys smile

Thank you Monkeylegend. It’s difficult to be here talking about this to you guys. I guess it being anonymous I felt safer to do so but some of the comments were upsetting.

Men with feelings and respect for women are far more attractive than obnoxious ones. Just saying

I don't know why you cant post, seems odd. If you want to post you will need to ask the moderators why you cant. If you have felt some people have been constructive you can contact them by clicking on their username if it helps but I wish you both good luck.

That's a man's hand, or a small phone! laugh

Loving the trolling and the blend of white knights and troll accusers.

You can probably guess which side I sit. I can't believe anyone is taking this thread seriously and replying a such. smile

Are you guys joking or being serious? The constant repeat of suggestions of me being a man is not helpful. I can’t help but feeling stung a bit about my femininity. But if that’s just your banter then maybe I can grow a thick skin

To be fair, this could be a Norman Bates type situation, where the OP has gone nuts and is dressing up in his ex-wives clothes and posting.
