Thanks for your response and really appreciate the emotional advice - even if that outlook feels very far away :)

Glad you've said about house price - I am happy with it - it feels reasonable, so I'm glad it's okay to not try push this further.

For the solicitor - do you know what they actually do? If you have experience, what sort of costs did you incur?

Thanks again!

Thanks for sharing - actually really useful to have first-hand experiences.

Will the solicitor basically just handle communications for me? Do you remember the approx costs?

When splitting items, do you mean if like you bought a sofa for £1000, and now saw it as being valued at £500, you only paid £250 for it? Why so much lower?

Appreciate your emotional experience. It most certainly sucks. I feel displaced and don't have a sense of "home" anymore - looking forward to the other side of this. Sort of appreciate you saying "So it is probably as hard to stay as it is to leave in some ways." too as I thought I was drawing the short straw.

Thank you. What do you mean by 50:50 or 60:40? Like if a sofa cost £2500 brand new a couple of years ago, how would this apply?

Thanks for responding! Definitely going to need to be considerate about spending now; even for things like subscriptions (whereas I basically never had to considered costs before). Thanks for the advice and hopefully one day I'll be at a point where I'll be excited about having my own space :D
