I (F35) want to leave my SO (M35) because of his lack of boundaries with his ex wife & his financial debt baggage. We have been living together in his house he owns along with my 2 kids (9 &4) for 2 years. Everything was great until his ex started a legal fight about custody & child support. I got him a lawyer & they went to mediation. He came home with a paper filled with bullshit about him paying for everything & her having decisions on their 2 kids (5&2) & them being over here most of the time.
I have decided that this is not the life I want for myself or my kids. I value my peace & quiet. I don’t want to be told if or when we can have our alone time or now lack of privacy. They are both equally at fault & I cannot control that. I no longer feel like I want to be forever with him. I am already emotionally detached. However, I am financially screwed. I hurt my back a year ago & had to stop working. No longer have my small savings. I have appx $8,000 in total debt- aside from my student loans. The cost of living has exploded and my credit isnt great because I stopped paying some of my bills. Now the Corona virus hits & I have no idea how long it will last or what type of employment will be available. I am hoping my Dr. will release me & I will be able to go to work again this summer. How can I start to plan/prepare to leave? Shit will hit the fan by August when they are supposed to put the agreement into effect. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Note: I don’t have family/friends I can stay with. Rent is at least $1,100 a month where I live (2 bdrm) & need to stay in the area for my kids school.
