She Found Out Her Partner Was Cheating For Years But Refuses To Sell Their House Unless He Gives Her Half Of What The House Is Worth
There are so many difficult arrangements to make when you break up with someone, especially if you share a home with that person.
It’s even harder to make arrangements when you spent a lot of time building that home with that person.
One woman is standing her ground, expecting fair payment from her ex-partner for their house after she found out he’s been cheating repeatedly.
She’s 38, and her ex-partner is 42-years-old. Four years ago, after two years of house hunting, they found their perfect house.
It took them a long time to find their dream home, as it would be a pretty full house. Not only would the child they share be living with them, but her partner’s mom was also expected to live with them.
Not long after moving into their new house, her partner’s dad came to live with them, too, and they started making renovations.
Thankfully, they had a lot of help, as not only did her partner’s parents contribute to the renovations, but so did her parents.
Unfortunately, while she hoped everyone would be really happy in their new home, her hopes were shattered about a month ago.
Around that time, she felt that her partner was behaving weirdly, so she decided to look through his work bag on impulse.

Inside the bag, she found a Valentine’s Day card from another woman.
“I confronted him, and he admitted he was seeing someone because he wasn’t happy at home,” she said.
“We talked about the issues and decided to work things out. He deleted her number from his contacts and all of her messages. He even started sharing his location with me.”
Not long after she and her partner decided they’d try to work things out, she decided to give his affair partner a call. The affair partner, who was also married with children, told her that her partner claimed the two of them were in the process of separating, and he was trying to sell their house to be with her.
While she tried to brush off the affair partner’s claims, things got worse after she found a receipt for $300 in shoes in her partner’s things. She had a feeling those shoes weren’t for him or her and confronted him.
Her partner claimed the receipt was from after his affair had been uncovered and wasn’t new. However, when she called his affair partner again, she confirmed they were still seeing each other, and he was still claiming they were in the process of separating and selling their home.
After confronting her partner one more time, he revealed that he and this woman had been seeing each other on and off for the last six years, which devastated her.
“After many fights, he offered to buy me out [of the house], but he wasn’t going to give me 50% of what the property is worth because his parents paid for the majority of the renovations and the house has equity,” she recalled.
“Keep in mind, his parents live here rent-free. He refuses to sell the house, and I am not selling my part unless he gives me half of what the house is worth.”
Is she doing the right thing by putting her foot down and waiting for the money she deserves before moving out?
