going it alone

Divorce is expensive especially if he's not interested but oh so worth it.

Get that free advice from a Solicitor and get your finances in order,you are only young and have possibly 30+ yrs do you really want to waste it being miserable when you can make something on your own much more pleasureable.

Yes get some legal advice Sophie22
I agree with Bluebelle completely.

Oh may I say living alone is a bed of roses compared to a bad partnership Yes there are times you feel lonely but that is made up for a 100 fold with hobbies, friends, just doing stuff
I think there is also a difference if it’s your choice if a husband leaves you through infidelity or even illness or death it’s much harder to adjust to

Certainly try to get a "free" legal advice session in your area. Also, you are able to go to an organisation like Relate - who are happy to counsel individuals as well as couples. Maybe talking it through with a counsellor would help you see the way forward and give you some support.

It seems a very daunting prospect before you start divorce proceedings but the outcome may be the right one for you.

It doesn't sound as if you are getting much out of this relationship. I wonder if you have any family members that you could confide in? While living alone may not be a bed of roses it could be a better alternative. You seem to have discussed separation already, so things are serious. I would suggest seeking legal advice to see where you stand. Selling the house may not be up to him. Perhaps also you should reconsider your sleeping arrangements.

You should be able to have a free initial session with a solicitor. Meanwhile make sure you know all about the joint finances. I was divorced when I was 46, after 25 years of marriage and was very happy in my own little house. If I felt a bit lonely, say on a Sunday, I would just go to a yoga class and then have a swim.

By accident I met my second husband quite quickly (probably because the last thing I wanted was another man) and we have been together for about 28 years now, married for over 25 and are very happy together. Good luck.
