Unreasonable Behaviour reasons

hi all,

about to apply for divorce - these are my reasons for UB - are they enough or should i expand on them?

The Respondent is not interested in any intimate relations with the petitioner. The Respondant has not shown the Petitioner any form of physical contact since 3rd December 2006. This has lead the petitioner to have feelings of very low self esteem which he find intolerable.

The Respondent does not give the petitioner any help when performing household chores – such as cleaning the cars, gardening, cooking or decorating, instead leaving the petitioner to have to do all of this work himself. This has lead to the Petitioner becoming more and more feeling of being isolated and alone in his own home.

The Respondent has an inappropriate friendship with another man.

The Respondent does not give the Petitioner any emotional support with a very highly stressful job. Despite the Petitioner asking for help and assistance. The petitioner has worked extremely hard over the years to provide financially for his family, with no support from the Respondent. The Petitioner is self-employed and as such has to produce a great deal of paperwork. The Respondent used to assist the Petitioner with this paperwork, but is no longer interested in helping the Petitioner to complete this.

Because of the lack of affection shown by the respondent to the Petitioner over the past couple of year, the Petitioner put on a lot of weight, which has contributed to the Petitioner having very low self-esteem and feeling very depressed about himself and his appearance.

Think you have covered it very well only comment i would make is do you want to expand on the ? adultery.

Does she also not help with cleaning house? This may be good to add as well as the just the cars.

Sounds awful .
Think you have enough if she will agree and accept it.
You may need to define the inappriateness and the fact that you find this intolerable.

Just picking up on crazylady's comment... You can't try and slip adultery in an unreasonable behaviour petition. I think you have struck the right balance in how you have described it Peter.

thanks for the advice, ive removed the inapropriate friendship - and just stuck to those other reasons, do i need to specify dates or is the generic information enough?

Hi there

The particulars are enough as they are. You can leave in a inappropriate friendship if you want.....but this is likely to be the bit she will yell loudest about.
