Your WH wants control over you. He wants to be in the house so he can snoop through your stuff and keep tabs on you.

Absolutely this! No way in f'in hell should you ever agree to nesting with this psycho.

Marriages that start this way, stepping over the bodies of loved ones as the giddy couple walks down the aisle, are not likely to last.

Hey folks- thanks for checking in on me.

Lawyer went well. It was our first meeting and I really really liked her and got a very confident, competent vibe from her.

I decided not to file the exclusive use order because our courts are so backed up here...but you can bet I texted him and said

"my lawyer and I discussed your aggressive and abusive behaviour at the house. It is within my right to have the court ban you from the home- but I chose to speak to you reasonably about it first. Know that this option is a available to me and I will use it if you don't treat me and the boy with respect."

Boy- has his behaviour changed! One rule of bullies is their behaviour only work if you don't tell on them!

So the meeting was a lot of questions and info gathering and such. We talked custody, parenting schedules, the house...

It was pretty overwhelming I'll admit.

I think I've come to accept that even if I get the house, I can not afford to keep it. This is heartbreaking as it's my dream house on a lake...but even with what I imagine he'll be paying me in child support and spousal support, I would be financially tapped and stressed. Plus if one thing went wrong, it would sink me. My friends keep telling me to hang on to it and suffer a few lean/stressful years because they are confident within 5 years would have a new man living there.

I don't know.

I'm sad to lose it, but also half liking the idea of my own cozy little house that I handle with confidence all on my own.

I'll miss the lake, but we still have loads of family and friends who live on the lake we can visit...

Lots to think about.

Love like ours is never fixed
Still I stuck around
I did behave
I saved you every time
I was a fool for love
I was a fool for love"

The first meeting with a lawyer offers you your legal options. It means you are no longer waiting for him to decide your future. Now YOU get to control your fate. Good for you!

It's hard to see the road ahead if you're always looking in the rear view mirror.

What?

You're still trying to "nice" him into being a decent person. You're still thinking you can negotiate with him as a reasonable person. You still think you can control him. You still believe that a few hours of "changed behavior" indicates a lasting heart & soul change in him. You still haven't hit your rock bottom yet.
