  • Separation and property

    After many years, my wife has intimated she wants to do her own thing. I guess we've simply been in a platonic relationship for some time/ However, recently she has been saying she wants to be alone and has intimated buying me out of the property, something I am unhappy about at my age and with the current economic climate only going to worsen. Last night we had a discussion where I intimated my unwillingness to move out at this point and though she appeared unhappy at this it was accepted. Equally, I said that she shouldn't move out either, which was a plan of hers at one point but seems to be no longer.

    We have a joint account and are now moving to separate accounts. I presumed that the main current account would be retained for mortgage/utilities/council tax, etc, but in conversation last night it transpired that she wants my contributions paid into her new account! I am deeply concerned about this and how this would impinge on my credit score and as such I am reluctant to do so.

    Does anyone have any input?

    Why not keep the joint account purely for joint outgoings of this nature? I know that your wife has ruled this out, but it seems to me that this would be best for transparency on both sides, while keeping your and her personal accounts private.

      Well, she hasn't ruled it out. I am puzzled why the DDs need to go to her new account. I think I will refuse that and say that they should be kept in the joint current account.
