I don't know how the hell I get myself into these situations but here goes....
I was talking to a woman today (not Mrs Roy!) who was very distressed because of the behaviour of her husband. She mentioned that she has on several occasions made up her mind to leave him but never did because she would not not where to go. Probably married about 25 years and kids between 15-23. She stressed that he was never physically violent but plenty of shouting and all that stuff.
I know the guy. Stubborn as a mule, very beligerant and extremely tight with money even though he'd earn plenty. This woman won a major battle with illness in the last couple of years which could well have been related to stress. In spite of this he continues to cause problems with neighbours etc.
Personnally for me the guy display symptons of paranoia, obsessive behaviour and derangement. Wife has confirmed he is obsessive (in a negative way) and has asked him to go for treatment / therapy.
I advised her not to move out and if she was seriously considering that option to get independent legal advice first. After all why should she move out of the family home when it is his behaviour that is causing the problem?
Background is that this guy has a number of houses and is due for retirment soon but has told her that he will "die in the family home" (hopefully sooner rather than later).
Anyone know if there can be legal a case made for a wife to have the husband moved out of the how where there is NO PHYSICAL violence?
Any advice appreciated
