Oh Els. How awful. I think Zen has hit the nail on the head - it's one thing to sneak away because she thinks you "just wouldn't let her go", but the unpaid bills are just mean and not, IMHO the actions of a person who "truly wishes nothing but the best for you".
You have my every best wish. Is Clifton your son? Has she taken him away too?

Clifton is my eldest stepson, who was living with us. He is 24, and of course must be supportive of his mother. If he wasn't, I'd smack him. By the same token, I doubt seriously if he wishes me any ill. I've already talked to his brother, our youngest stepson, who is livid over how this has been done, even though he understands her need to be apart from me.

Posting this because it is beautiful, truthful as only great music can be, and because it applies...to both Selene and myself.

It is probably worth noting that none of this is about another partner, really...but the concept of "running scared" certainly applies.

You must be in shock, Els.

After you get over the shock, you need to do what you can do to protect yourself. The unpaid bills thing is, as others have pointed out, just plain mean and stupid.

Sounds like Selene is acting out some Teenage Angsty Dream. I've seen this movie before. She may rue the day that she acted like such a bitch and garnered such bad karma for herself.

I've seen it - I've seen it many, many times. Hold your head up, Elspode.

More willl be revealed.

Oh ,'spode, im so sorry you and TF are going through this. I understand that it had to happen, but the way it was carried out was unnecessary.

I hope the financials sort themselves out, I can't see how she isn't liable for 50% of those bils?

Do you have a legal aid option over there? They say everyone is entitled to legal representation.

Hugs and supportive thoughts your way

Wow! Elspode, I'm so sorry.

I never could wrap my mind around your arrangement, but it seemed to work for you both so well. You were both so open about what you were doing with other partners, and didn't hide anything. That's why this really shocks me. It's so incredibly malicious!

My thoughts, exactly.

THe mortgage and untilities unpaid are the thing. Are you walking away from the house too and letting the bank reclaim it? Whose name are they in? I take it she was the one actually writing the checks or this would not have been news she had to share with you?

These are good questions.

I'm sorry for your pain man.

The other big question was the closing of all the joint bank accounts. Did she walk away with all the joint money and leave a few months of bills unpaid?

I had a joint account with my mom. I went to the bank and closed it by myself. They gave me all the money that was in the account. So, I'm guessing that depends on the state or bank, it's possible.

I think it all comes down to the wording on the account. If it said "Els AND Biatch," both their signatures would be required. If it said "Els OR Biatch," she can probably get away with closing the account on her own.

Really, WTF doesn't cover it. It's more like
WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK?
