writes: I finished with my partner of five years, two months ago, mainly because he was physically and verbally abusive. He is a serious control freak and hates the idea that it's me who has finally finished. He's seeing a psychologist for his anger and agression, but for me, I have no more feelings for him. The worst problem is that he is making it really difficult for me to sell our jointly-owned house. We both put the same amount of capital in, but he is really slippery and negotiates really hard - he's finance director and I'm a nurse. I've got really supportive family and friends, but how on earth do I get through this? I'm currently living in lodgings as I don't want to live with him, and I'm seriously thinking of handing things over to a solicitor but is that too aggressive? Help Reply to this Question Share |

If I can give you any advise, get a solicitor involved! If has anger management issues and is a financial director, the chances are he will want to control the situation and at the same time, control you!
Its a little costly, but if you dont want the hassle of having to deal with him, then get someone else, who is just as agressive to deal with the matter on your behalf. At a time like this, you really dont need the hassle and whilst you are trying to sell the house, he is getting to stay there free whilst you are having to pay for lodgings elsewhere! Somewhat unfair.
I am in the finance business and know how difficult these control freaks can be. Honestly just get on with your life and get someone to do the dirty work for you. You'll feel better in the long run!
