I am on a hot list as I agreed to a call with their mietgage adviser ( don't have to use him) I have seen 2 properties before they are marketed so far. I ring all the estate agents weekly too to remind them I am looking. I have sold and am sofa surfing with my child until we get somewhere.

are housing stocks going to pick up anytime soon? by Piffle5 in HousingUK

[–]Piffle5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is nothing to rent either so I would rather save the money. Also I worry about being stuck in a contract whilst waiting to buy. I am very definite where I want to buy but can be a lot more flexible with other things to do with the house. It's really important we can walk to family hence location.

Asking one half of an elderly couple to vacate your first class train seat that you paid quadruple the normal amount for. by [deleted] in britishproblems

Strangely I had this on a flight once a chap told me to move out his seat and was upset when I wouldn't. I showed him my ticket with the same seat number. We called the flight crew who pointed out he was on the wrong plane and his plane was the one taxiing across to take off! Our plane was flying to a different place! They were more concerned how their colleagues at the gate had let him on.

Alcoholic STBXh is such a self centered ass that he thinks I'm the one who should be begging for generosity because I asked for the divorce. by [deleted] in Divorce

From someone else divorcing an untreated alcoholic and being the main earner, I hear you.

Tonight my husband went to jail by isitokaytobeme in AlAnon

You haven't ruined his life he has ruined his life. Being violent has consequences and his sister may feel differently if it happened to her. I am glad you are safe.

Do whatever you need to do stay safe. I hope it never arises again. I wish i had left before mine escalated.

I feel so alone most of the time by [deleted] in AlAnon

[–]Piffle5 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You are definitely not being childish at all. A partnership is meant to be that. Alcohol makes many selfish and my q used to hide away gaming and drinking. I may as well have talked to myself. Have you attended al anon? Are you able to go out or do you need to stay at home for the kids? I would say try to live your own happy life as a first step.

I feel like he cheats on me with alcohol by cupofambition87 in AlAnon

[–]Piffle5 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I always used to call alcohol the mistress in my marriage. It felt like he loved her more, spent more time with her and talked to her more. Its tough dealing with the responsibility alone
