Hi! I am new to this discussion board. A little background...my stbx and I have file for divorce - we hopefully have our final hearing 11/13/07. Since our initial hearing the court has decided that with the debt that incurred (thanks to my loser stbx) that we will need to continue to live together until we can sell our house/or court date comes up - whichever comes first and to get our credit card bills down. My stbx has never been able to hold down a job in our short (1.5 years) marriage, and in on unemployment now - making getting out of debt very hard. Living together makes me sick, he is out all the time drinking now I believe that he is with another woman. Everyday breaks my heart - I want so badly to "move on" but feel like I am stuck in a very bad situation now. The loan for the house is in my name, and I feel like if I leave he'll trash the place or never take care of any home responsibilites.
I have been trying to better myself - focus on me. I have joined a divorce support group and a meditiation group and love it. I just wish I didn't have to go home afterwards...even though he's hardly there it's still hard. Is there any advice?

p.s. We don't have any children.


Love like you've never been hurt before...

Hi hrw116,
I am new here, and have no answers. I have a similar home situation.
But I am sorry about your situation, and will keep you in my thoughts. You have my support, and hopefully other folks who have answers will be here soon.
