You were typing this while I was responding.cmw said:Need to clarify the living arrangement. I was promoted out of town 14 months ago. I have paid at least every other mortgage payment, utilities bill, cable TV, etc....if anything, more than a 50/50 share of bills on my end.
She was promoted 3 hours away and was gone from the home for 3 years. She came home weekends, and I raised her two children.
I was just explaining the "why" of the break-up...sorry.
So you were promoted and moved from the residence 14 months ago and was your intent was to do as she had and return to the house on the weekends thus you didn't remove your belongings or did you do something else? Since you had historically paid every other mortgage and utility payment, why would you cease because she sent you the coupons since you both owe the mortgage and are on the deed, you moved from the residence and left her with all the responsibilities and she is willing to buy you out, you two have to come to some sort of an arrangement until she buys you out.
