My husband and I have been married for over ten years and during this time he has let me down over and over again.

He is irresponsible, a cheater (caught one time), lacks motivation and always says he is going to work on things.

I shut down about a year ago and no longer want to be with him. We do not share any mutual accounts, my house is solely in my name, but he refuses to leave - saying he wants to work on things, and I do not.

How can I get him to understand it's over for me?

I am a police officer and I really was trying to avoid getting law enforcement involved. I know I must do something because he is driving me up the wall. I will go on to the next step thank you for your responses.

It sounds like you've already made it emphatically clear that you want a divorce, if not do so you might even present him with the divorce papers. I know its tough but to be firm and stay firm, so he'll know you're serious. If nothing else works though I think shandygirl is right you might have to have to force him out. Is it possible to call one of his mates, someone he might stay with and have them drag his ass out? That is if you feel weird about going to the Magistrate or what not, but if he does keep coming back and harassing you, you might not have a choice.

shandygirl agony auntThe house is YOUR name, I think you can contact a Magistrate and get an order against him to force him to move.
