Well here goes...  My ex and I had been together for approximately five years before it all went wrong and things ended up the way they are now.  When we first got together, she was 16 and I was 21, we were basically soul-mates (or so I thought).

Around June 2006 we discovered she was expecting our first son.  We were was so scared but at the same time very happy.  It was a difficult pregnancy however and she became moody and miserable, even though I was supportive and did the best I could to help.  I put all this down to hormones at first but it became much worse later on when our son was born.  In the end she was diagnosed with depression and given anti-depressants.

She took these for about six weeks then stopped them suddenly for no reason and became worse again.  We were looking to move to a bigger house at the time because we were living in a tiny rented place with one bedroom.  This was becoming hell to live in with a baby so in the end we bought a two bed house together.

The cost of running the new house became a huge strain as she had to cut her working hours to just 2 hours in the evening.  So I decided it was time to go back to college in order to earn more money.  A few days later she announced that she has just signed up too. "Great" I thought, but what about the baby?  We discussed this with her mum who then agreed to give up work to look after the youngster.  We thought that this might be just what my partner needed to get back to her old self.

Well it worked. because after a while back at college she started getting much better, meeting lots of new friends and I was over the moon.  Then things started to change again - not for the better.  I began to notice her dressing in what I would call "over the top" for college.  The jeans became low wasted, much tighter or knee high boots over the top of skin tight leather trousers; her top too would often expose more than it should.  I'd never see or hear from her all day at college and when I finished work she'd arrive a short while after me, dressed to the hilt, thong showing and everything.  Then there was the clubbing at night with her sister whilst I was at home with the baby.  She'd often not get in until five in the morning.  By this time I was so confused, I just didn't know what the hell was going on?

A key in the lock

Two weeks after our sons first birthday she asked me to move out for a week or, just to "give her some space".  I pleaded for her not to do this, but she got very angry so reluctantly I agreed but kept in close contact.  The next thing I knew her mum said that if I wanted to get back with her I should give her more space, about another week and to keep well away.

Well I agreed, because I didn't really have any other choice.  But little did I realise that this was basically a plan they had concocted between them to move her new lover into our home.  I only found this out when I went to get some of my clothes and discovered that the locks had been changed - by him apparently!

This all happened over a month ago and since then and I've not even been able to see my son or had the opportunity to collect any of my belongings.  This is all in the hands of solicitors now, but what an awful mess it has become.  My life is quite literally crumbling before me, but what else can I do?   Any advice or help would be most welcome.

She will probably knock out a couple more kids to the new fella and then go on benefits expecting the rest of us to pick up the tab for her family and her cat. Dont get mad Dave, get even. Start up your own business and make lots of money, find yourself a beautiful woman who treats you like a God and buy yourself a better car than she has got (possibly a ferrari). Hopefully you will be able to do this just in time for christmas, that way you will be able to go on Moonpig and design her a christmas card with a picture of you sitting in your ferrari with your beautiful woman whilst sticking 2 fingers up to the camera.

Make sure you get your son back, not just rights to visit him. I know someone who has been paying his ex-wifes mortgage for years just to keep a roof over their daughters head as she has claimed she can't work due to depression, she was/is an awful woman too.

Ah, fifty one ways to leave your lover then?
I am sorry that you have been done over. Leave it to your solicitor for now then get even, not mad. As someone suggests below, don't show anything other than relief at getting out of this relationship. I can't comment about your child, these things can have a strange way of working out well in the end. As for the rest, well none of it matters.

Sounds like she is very immature and quite "selfish" in her approach to life. Many people seem to demand instant gratification these days - buy everything on credit, pay a hell of a lot of interest, rather than going without or saving up. Perhaps you should regard this as Fate (God?) or just plain old Luck being kind to you. It sounds like you are best out of it. As I said before, just stay focused on your son. However, from the financial mess she is getting herself into, I strongly suspect that there will be an element of 'blackmail' in your future dealings with her, in the sense that she will make your seeing your son conditional on some sort of cash handover.

As for the future, make sure you have learned lessons. I myself had a bad relationship years back, making the mistake of moving in with someone far too early. Never again! I suggest you take things real slow with a future partner. In my experience, not living together somehow maintains a 'vibrancy' and 'excitement' to a relationship. Don't be tempted to get another partner just so you can "get back at her". Speak to her politely but without emotion. I don't really want to advocate taking revenge, but again in my experience, showing complete 'indifference' is the absolute best way to have some element of satisfaction. Bloody hell, I sound like a right cynical old git . . . . oh well! Best of luck with it all.

Thanks Geoff and others, been thinking about it all today and have had very little sleep since this has happened but yours and other comments alike have been nice to recieve and do help!
*Dave  28-Apr-2008 17:45

 
Let her have her cat, her car, the debt, the worry and all the unhappiness that she no doubt has coming to her now. She doesn't sound grown up at all so you're well out of it now mate.

Many thanks for all your comments with the exception of "UR FAULT", very harsh in my opinion, learn what one really is?

Well the house is in both our names but her farther acted as guarantor to enable us to reduce the interest rate but I don’t know how she is going to do it with this new guy, I mean I brought in 75% of the income to the house and I really cant think he would want to start paying that straight away from no ties at all as he was living with his parents. He is more her age though at 19 and a gardener by trade, or so ive been told!

As a few have said without hearing both sides of the story you really cannot say or know who to fully believe. Her mothers side of the family are poisonous to the core her father isn’t a bad guy and I know him enough that it will take a while for him to come to accept this too as it is quite embarrassing for him and he would understand as her mother done similar thing to him but she became very poor while he became rich in a new business he started shortly after she left him. There is great bitterness there from her!, something I do recall though was shortly before Xmas my ex asked me if she could get a cat but im allergic so I really said no and she was very mad about that then asked me if we could get a car on finance and said no as money was very low. then xmas arrived and I had a card from her sister custom made on moon pig showing me with my bags packed walking away from the house and her waving holding a cat and the cat had its fingers stuck up??? Then two weeks later from splitting she got a car on finance and a kitten. The only thing she has'nt done yet is get pregnant as she asked me for that just one month before the split and I said we should settle in the new house first and find our feet as we had only been in it 6 months!

If ever there was a good reason for getting married and putting everything in joint names folks - this is it. NEWS FLASH - Common law does not exist. If you move in with a person and your name is not on the mortgage/rent book or deeds then that person can just ask you to leave and you must oblige. Even if you have lived in the house with them for 30 years. If you name aint on the docs then it aint yours! If your partner really loves you then they will make sure everything is in joint names and make sure there is provision made for all parties concerned in the event of either persons death. When you go home this evening, ask your partner if you are on the deeds/mortgage/rent book. If you are not then alarm bells should start ringing. If you are not, then ask why not?

If everything you say is true, you need to move on emotionally from her. She clearly is an awful, manipulative, shallow and just downright "ugly" to do what she has done. Your priority should be your son. When you speak to her or communicate with her in whatever way, try not to be emotional about what has happened with your relationship with her, but just emphasise that you want to see your son on a regular basis, that you have a right to be in his life too. The best approach would be to show complete 'indifference' to her and reserve all your emotion for your son.
