This what I propose to put as UB; I am a bit worried about whether I need to indicate any timings. I learne (for definite) of the continuing relationship with OW in March last year; since then have done Relate and given every chance to repair the relationship; moved out of marital bed in March 2010, lived separately in MH but continued to share meals before moving out completely a few weeks ago. Do I need some sort of explanation of why and when I gave up on him? I need to avoid allegations of condoning the relationship - it may have taken me a long time to give up but I have never condoned and all through the past year he has been lying and denying any contact. (They text, phone and email each other all the time; they met up before Christmas and he gave her some personal jewellery as a Christmas present).

The respondent maintains a close and inappropriate friendship with a woman with whom he has previously had an intimate relationship which the Petitioner finds intolerable.

The respondent knows that the petitoner finds this relationship intolerable but refuses either to discuss the situation or to end it.

The respondent has lied over a period of several years about his relationship with this other woman thus causing a fundamental breakdown of trust between the petitioner and respondent which the petitioner finds intolerable.

The petitioner has a demanding and stressful job but receives no emotional support from the respondent.

The respondent has made it clear that he does not wish to spend time including holidays with the petitioner thus leading her to believe that he has no interest in maintaining a normal married life and making her feel lonely and abandoned.

Who moved out of the marital bed you or him?

Is it worth putting that you attended counselling in an effort to save the relationship but do not feel that the respondent was really interested in the process leaving you feeling rejected ans abandoned or something like that?

I'm in a similar situation in that I'm hoping to save my marriage but also aware that the clock is ticking away if I want to use her inappropriate relationship as evidence of unreasonable behaviour.

Thanks I'll add that in.

'Twas me what moved into the spare room. I did try to get him to leave but he refused even though I offered to pay the rent, hence I have moved into a flat.

And if it is any help to you, I was uncertain right up to the actual move whether I was doing the right thing partly because moving out is so final and also because I was frightened I'd be lonely and miserable. But I actually feel tons better, much more relaxed, able to get up in the morning at a normal time. No social life to speak of but that will get sorted in time and I don't feel lonely at all.

Here's my revised UB: does it look ok and does it get over the 6 month problem?

The respondent has recently discovered that the respondent continues to maintain a close and inappropriate friendship with a woman with whom he has previously had an intimate relationship. The Petitioner finds this intolerable.

The respondent knows that the petitioner finds this relationship intolerable but refuses either to discuss the situation or to end it.

The petitioner has discovered that the respondent has lied over a period of several years about his relationship with this other woman thus causing a fundamental breakdown of trust between the petitioner and respondent which the petitioner finds intolerable.

The petitioner and respondent have lived separately, firstly within the marital home, and latterly in different homes, since March 2010. During that period the petitioner and respondent attended marriage guidance counseling but the petitioner recently realized that the respondent was sufficiently committed to the marriage to take this seriously and this makes her feel rejected and abandoned.

The petitioner has a demanding and stressful job but receives no emotional support from the respondent.

The respondent has made it clear that he does not wish to spend time including holidays with the petitioner thus leading her to believe that he has no interest in maintaining a normal married life and making her feel lonely and abandoned.
