After keeping me awake in his quest for my admission of guilt, barely husband descended to a new low.
Money arguments aren’t new to our playbook. I’m always the one to be financially punished for my ‘shortcomings’, whatever they may be.
This time around, he was trying to charge me £80 for his rental contract renewal. Ridiculous, I thought. His apartment is his responsibility, like I have taken responsibility for ALL house costs and that includes him getting half of what I’m paying in when we eventually sell it.
I was at work and couldn’t scream at him like I would have liked (blessing or curse? You choose).
He threatened me to charge me for all the costs during the year I was unemployed. When I mention the year he was unemployed, he says that was because of me – due to moving to the UK because I wanted to come back and because of my job – and, because that was agreed, it doesn’t count. It’s my fault, he says.
But me losing my job because the company shut down is also my fault, according to him, as if it’s my deserved punishment, and he owes me nothing. Great marriage, when it’s one way, always favouring him.
It sucks! Big time!
I ended up being duped on over £400 on Raven’s expenses to make him shut up and leave me alone. I’m buying my peace.
I can’t be buying it forever. We have some legal ramblings to be sorted before I can fight back. I don’t want him to accuse me of kicking him out of the country to make him lose contact with his daughter.
When these final, legal, steps are taken, he better be ready, because I will come down on him like a sledgehammer. It’s a promise.
Just swinging through here, so tell me to pound sand if you don’t like my advice, but I’m a huge fan of taking care of oneself… If you’re taking care of yourself, then anything else that is his is totally his. Don’t buy (ha! funny pun) into his crap.

He doesn’t need my money at all. In his sick mind, he is trying to prove to me I’m better off with him. However, he achieves the exact opposite and makes me sure I’m am much better off without him. Thanks!

Ugh! I want to punch him! Charge you for a period of time when you were unemployed? Charge you for his separate living arrangement now when you are paying for the house? What a dick. Don’t back down one inch girl. Tell him to go fuck himself.

This bit of anger will serve you well. Hold on to it while you need to, to get through this.

don’t let him talk you in to paying, they just create arguments so that we cave in and pay up. Let it be the last time! Bring on the sledge – hammer time!

It drives me nuts when he does that but I don’t let the anger linger. That would give him power and I definitely don’t want that. ❤️
