Having your cake and eating it....

There are our ex partners that like to have their cake and eat it....

But what happens when their bit of cake runs out??

This is what I won't let my wife have the house. In a year she would be out on her ear anyway due to not being able to afford it.

My ex wanted me out and now finds herself in the unenviable position of being homeless in 4 weeks time, not bothered about her but my 2 daughters btw.

I am at a loss to understand how she hoped to pay the mortgage when we struggled at the best of times! Must be ex logic...

Chris.

I agree my wife is the same, wants the house but cant afford it.

I am sure she would be quite happy to live there with you paying.. Do you have any kids? I have 2 and they are very shortly to be at the mercy of the Local Authority Housing Department!

I believe that things are different in E/W, it is not a certainty that the kids stay in the house up here.

Yes I have 2.. and she would be paying. I am not so stupid

What happens is that they finally face the consequences of having NOT made a choice. We make choices every day, and NOT making a choice between two options is still a choice and still has consequences. The consequence is that one or both of the options evaporates and you're left with no choices at all.

The consequence of my husband choosing to live without my financial support is that one day he'll run out of money and he'll have to work, cheat and steal, or find a new sugar mama.

The consequence of having an affair is the wife and the mistress may both leave you.

There are always consequences.
