ConfusedAtHome Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 My ex and I have been broken up about a month now, but still living in the same house together due to owning it 50/50 and unable to sell it. Initially, I wanted the house (sentimental purposes), but now that I have clarity I want out of the house and want to move into an apartment and start over. My ex initially said she wanted to move out and I could stay, but then she said she wanted it. Basically, I don't know how she feels at this point, but I want out. What is the best way to broach this subject? She would have to assume the mortgage, but she has said things about her dad being financially better off than my family, so I feel he can help her out. Any advice is appreciated.
Geishawhelk Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 Assume she hasn't changed her mind, and merely say, "Shall we get a lawyer/solicitor to draw up the documents for the transfer of the mortgage? If you want to stay, you'll have to buy me out." And see what she says. Either way, you have a choice. Stay, and continue sharing all the way down the line, or she'll have to literally put her money where her mouth is, and pay up.

I don't think either of us wants to stay in the same house together, that's for sure. I am just done with this relationship and ready to start my life over.
