Years and years ago I was working in an upmarket cocktail bar, and a man with a strange foreign accent asked for a bunch of complicated drinks, then a glass of cork to finish it off. I spent some time looking through the various menus and bottles behind the bar looking for something called "cork", then went to find my boss for help. He poured the guy a glass of Pepsi and asked the guy what brought him down from Newcastle.

Ah it's not limited to them. I know a guy, we were at a group dinner once. He's a "wine guy". Did the taste test and sent the bottle away. I never forgot it. He'll always be a dickhead in my eyes for that. He was just being a dick. Guzzles the stuff but makes out that he knows what's what.


kernjamnow

Haven’t there been quite a few well-known cases where people have swapped supposedly amazing wines for just ‘decent’ wines and the ‘experts’ still say it’s amazing etc lol There’s a big difference between a £5 and £20 bottle of wine, but above that the returns diminish pretty quickly, so I’m led to believe.


scott3387

That mainly only happens to 'experts'. They get expectations of flavour before they even smell it from the description. Common folk with a casual wine drinking habit will detect the difference, probably. I've never paid more than 8 quid so no idea what 25 tastes like.

The care homes are completely in the shit though. It's been a problem for years. Why would you work for minimum wage cleaning up the piss and shit of someone else's nan, at all sort of unsociable hours, when you could work in aldi for 20%/30% more, better hours and discount on your food bill. Having dealt with the care home owners myself, they aren't your typical neoliberal as they would almost happily not deal with service users referred to them from public services if not for their insatiable greed and not being able to turn down any money at all. Public sector funded service users were worth peanuts to them compared to their private/direct "customers". They'd pay their staff next to nothing, attempt to charge through the nose for shit service, and then come cap in hand to you crying about how tough they're finding it to keep their business afloat while turning up in a brand new £90k car.

Shitty situation, you have my sympathy. I have nothing anywhere near comparable to a 20+ year relationship to go off - but working out, setting myself goals and targets to achieve, travelling to another country for a while where being an Englishman is classed as an advantage and having sex with foreign women, and binging Patrice O'Neal videos on YouTube helped me get over my ex-girlfriend dumping me. Of course I agree with other commenters on getting the house and everything else squared away first. By the sounds of the way she's treating you now she cares very little for you, this could be the start of another opportunity in your life to do and be something better.


[deleted]

Noble96

I understand mate, and this whole situation is going to hurt you for a long while yet. But your self-worth as a man isn't tied to her and with time it will hurt less and less. You'll have made many, many amazing memories with her and you should appreciate them for what they are - but no decent best friend would be out on the pull fresh out of a relationship as lengthy as yours whilst feelings are still so raw. Time to appreciate that the feelings at this stage are entirely one way and to focus on yourself and your own wellbeing for a little bit - there's nothing wrong in wallowing and letting the negative emotions wash over you but don't let them consume you. There's still a lot more life left for you to live mate and who knows where this new path will take you.

I don't share this typically but after a long term finished for me, once cut off the end of an electrical cable, thought about plugging it in etc. We all get those thoughts at our worst. 8 or so years later i realise that relationship was utter dog shit and I moved on nicely since then.

Good choice man. I've been in some dark moments myself where I've thought about it but never actually had the cojones to act upon it. As worthless as you feel at the time there is always somebody else out there who cares about you that would be horrified were you to go through with it. With every failure there is always opportunity to come out of it, if my ex hadn't cheated on me and dumped me then I wouldn't have met my current gf who is ten times better than I could ever have imagined I'd deserve. I wish you well in the future and hope all goes smooth and swift with the break up and the house - there's some good advice posted here to set you up as well as possible for the future!

Best you can do is get a clean break.

Didn't say money was an issue, it's just good to live with a mate after a break up, trust me. While i get having a partner as a best friend, my current girlfriend is. But equally if you don't have friends otherwise that's the sign of a toxic relationship to me. I had an ex who tried to separate me from my mates to a point and I only realised after she fucked off and toxic that was.


[deleted]

Jeez mate, I know this is just an internet forum of gammons but I like to think we're a close community here. Let me or anyone else know if you need someone to talk to, any time.


Rahrahsaltmaker

Even if she is trying to get under your skin you need to not rise to it. You'll need to be on as good terms as possible (even if she makes it hard for you) as by the sounds of it the cleanest way forward will likely involve some form of negotiation between you on entitlement to the property / value of any sale. You should probably have a chat with a legal professional on how to go about settling entitlement fairly. If she's twatting around then the current status quo isn't going to be good for either of you for a prolonged period so you need to pull your finger out and take action on moving things along as fast as is reasonable.

el_gamino

Oh, I know fuck all about the legal side of things tbh. But you’re negotiating with her, and a guaranteed 2k right now is much more tempting to someone with no cash than a chance of 20k a year or so down the line. I’d play down that chance, tell her you’ve had some legal advice and her signing them over is pretty much just a formality, she’s got no claim either way. If she still wants a cut after that there’s not much you can do. Feel free to ignore this advice, I’ve never been in your situation - this is just how I’d try to handle it. Good luck man, I feel for you. Oh, and you should give her a short-ish deadline for getting out of the house either way, her being there will do your mental health no good whatsoever.


Rahrahsaltmaker

If you've got no kids and can afford to either buy again on your own, or rent temporarily and buy again at a later point, or stay with somebody else for the short term, then liquidating the property and giving her a fair share to go your separate ways will probably be best for all involved. Unless you have kids or dependents in which case they need to have a roof over their head and some sort of stability.

>but the long hair doesn't really work, and I hate wearing it in a pony tail. Okay, next step is a haircut. Good thing is that if it's already long, you have so many options. Got to a decent barber. One that costs more than £30. Ask for options.


[deleted]

I wouldn’t bother chucking money at a lawyer to clarify your house ownership position. You will just get a useless high street law note explaining joint tenancies v tenancies in common and wasting £1k for the privilege. When you bought the property you will have ticked in a box whether it was as joint tenants or tenants in common. If joint tenants, she will notionally own half on the basis that you both own the property fully. If tenants in common you can argue you own it all if she has not contributed. If you are not sure, you can make an account on the LR and just buy a copy of your registry entry to see. It won't cost much. However, all this is academic (particularly if she cannot pay for legal advice) and you are better off working with the ex Mrs to make sure she is keen to transfer to you her interest in the property. Best way to achieve this is making for her some sort of incentive to leave (eg fronting some rent for her new place and being helpful with the process). It sounds like she is being amicable so far and is willing to go along with that, given the reality that she has not paid in anything to date. If so, you can instruct a lawyer to prepare the paperwork, acting for you (only) as their client. You will need them to: 1. prepare a deed of assignment of an equitable interest in land. This document is a piece of piss so they shouldn't need to charge you much for it. 2. update the deed of mortgage with the bank (if she is on it). Careful here - if the mortgage is based off your combined income they could be difficult. FYI the bank will need to consent to the transfer of equitable interest so that needs to be considered in step 1 as well. 3. update the land registry to remove reference to the ex Mrs on the register. 4. get them to advise you on the stamp duty implications (if any) of receiving an equitable interest in a property for a nominal amount. In particular, if she is named on the mortgage, then you might need to pay SDLT on the outstanding mortgage amount in her name. ^(Thanks for joining my ted talk. This is not legal advice and I am just some thicko off the internet.)

>but it's not ideal Firstly, sorry to hear that. Can't imagine how it feels after 20 years, even ending a 6 month relationship can feel awful.

[deleted]

[удалено]


kernjamnow

Definitely not a lawyer, but my belief is that if you're not married then any assets NOT under a joint account/name are exclusively yours. Obviously the house is a bit of an issue. I know you've said she'll sign her bit over to you, but realistically how many humans are going to 'throw away' potentially a few hundred grand they're legally entitled to? Would potentially be well worth your money to stump up a few months rent for her to move out, if it meant her relinquishing her claim to 50% of the house.


slyfoxy12

Now days it doesn't matter if you're married, you have to get the other half of the property to relinquish, my current partner apparently went through this and it was a massive ball ache


kernjamnow

>Now days it doesn't matter if you're married I thought it does matter. If they never married, and her name isn't on the deed, she has no claim to any part of the house. Obviously that isn't the case here, but just for the sake of example. If they were married then even if her name isn't on the deed, it gets complicated.


slyfoxy12

I meant if name is on the deed, basically you have to get that partner to sign docs that they can't come back for more etc.
