Hi all,

Old thread here for reference: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

The situation as of now is we're still together, I tried my hardest to give it a go and legally AFAIK you can't divorce until 1 year and she would never separate.

It was ok until a few days ago where she accused me of being emotionally distant. I replied honestly and said I'm just tired from work I had a long day.

Cue hours of arguing ending at 3am. Both gave it good as each other so I can't say I'm innocent.

Day after no contact in the same house and we didn't even run into one another somehow.

That evening on her way home from somewhere, phones me screaming and I refuse to listen. Calls me back 3 times screaming at me.

Comes home and screams in my face for 3 hours whilst I respond minimally. I reached my breaking point and I said I want a divorce, cue hysterics.

What really gets me is she forcefully pushed me and I went into a doorframe, I have a few small cuts nothing big.

That physical act I cannot come back from.

Shes not pregnant, house is in my name and she hasnt ever contributed a penny to the running of the house.

I need to play it smart, just right now my head is a mess.

Wondering if others who have been in a similar situation and how they dealt with it?

Length of marriage to date is 10 months.

CCTV in the house sounds like a good idea - incase she tries to claim you abused her or whatever. Get some wireless stuff and pop it in asap.

Also you might be advised to find somewhere else to sleep on occasion - no sense having a row for hours when you could just go to your mates avoid it.

I am sorry to learn of the issues you that you continue to face.

Whilst some CCTV may be a help, a quick search online for a reputable solicitor would be at least as beneficial, I'd suggest.

You can, given what you have written, ask her to move out - not sure why you should be looking elsewhere when it is 'your' house and you pay for everything!

Might you be able to pay for a Travelodge or Premier Inn for her for the time being? I mention those as you don't need to be forking out hundreds of pounds per night whilst things calm down.


Oh and best wishes!

If you want to play it smart get professional legal advice now.

Only once you are absolutely clear of your legal position can you hope to formulate a plan. The position you are in is going to be expensive. Getting the right advice will determine how expensive it is in the end.
