Woman calls it quits after realising she couldn't live in her boyfriend's former matrimonial home
SINGAPORE: A woman recently shared online that she ended a budding relationship after realising she couldn't bring herself to live in her boyfriend's former matrimonial home. Posting on Reddit, the 35-year-old explained that both she and her 39–year-old boyfriend owned HDB flats. She had purchased a four-room unit in the Canberra area last year as a single owner, while her boyfriend was in the process of taking over full ownership of a four-room flat in the east, which he had previously lived in with his ex-wife. Since HDB regulations don't allow couples to each own a flat, the pair had to discuss what to do next. That's when things got tricky. According to her, she didn't want to give up her flat to move in with him. The idea of living in a space that had been part of a seven-year relationship didn't sit well with her. 'I was not keen by the idea that he's lived there with his ex for over 5 years, together for 7 years?' she wrote. 'I wanted to avoid the emotional baggage that comes with it.' Her boyfriend, however, wasn't willing to part with his flat either. He felt it had better resale potential and that its value would appreciate significantly over time, while hers would likely stay about the same. A friend, who knew about the situation, told her she was 'being unreasonable' and suggested that they could simply renovate the space. 'He [my friend] was convinced that we could have spent some money on a complete makeover of his flat, i.e., hack the walls, floors, replace the furnitures, repaint the house, etc., to make it look as good as brand new but mentally, it still irks me knowing that they've shared the same space,' she wrote. 'I know some people are willing parties to buy over the ex's share of the flat (good for you!!!), but it's just not for me,' she added. At the end of her post, she asked the Reddit community, 'Was wondering if it's normal to feel out of place, or am I over-reacting over something simple like this?' 'Memories within the four walls can be rewritten with the present.' In the comments, many Singaporean Redditors strongly supported the woman's decision to end the relationship. 'Your concerns are valid. Would be pretty complicated moving into his matrimonial home since all his memories with his ex-partner (and kids) were all created there,' one Redditor wrote. 'If he doesn't agree to moving elsewhere, you are better off with someone else.' Another shared her own experience, writing, 'I'm living with my BF in the home he lived in with his ex-wife and their children. My circumstances are a little different because it's his family's multi-gen legacy landed kinda type, but sometimes I still get a little sad and feel little bit like the outsider because some of her things are still here and there.' A third said, 'Nahh, you're not overreacting or at least not for me, the thought of living in the same house as his ex-wife used to would give me the biggest ick.' Still, not everyone saw things the same way. Several Redditors felt that the woman was indeed 'overreacting,' and said it was 'unfair' of her to expect the man to give up his flat simply because he had lived there with his family. 'As a female, I do think that it's ridiculous to expect that from another guy. It's not like you don't have your own past relationships and baggages,' one Redditor added. 'Yes, it is a home he shared with his ex-wife, but memories within the four walls can be rewritten with the present. Personally, I'll be able to accept a guy like that, but then again, I'm not the emotional type.' In other news, an employer took to social media to share that her domestic helper refuses to care for her toddler, even when the child is sick or in distress. Posting in the 'Direct Hire Transfer Singapore Maid / Domestic Helper' Facebook group, the employer explained that she had clearly laid out her expectations when hiring the helper around five months ago.

I had wild sex with interior designer I hired for home makeover after divorce – she wants to move in but I can't commit
DEAR DEIDRE: I HAD a night of wild sex with an interior designer and now she wants to move in with me. I'm just not ready and am still navigating my way through the minefield of my divorce. I'm a man of 41 and I travel with my job. It's well-paid but being away from home was the price I paid for my marriage — my wife cheated on me. She's 36 and had a pregnancy scare at a time when I knew it couldn't be mine, which meant the truth came out. I demanded to see her phone and before I could even click on the messages she started to spill everything. She admitted having countless men because she'd been lonely and while I understood that it had been hard as I was away so often, I also couldn't forgive the lies and deceit. She moved into a flat and I kept the house — but it reminded me of her so much that I decided it needed a makeover. A young woman of 28 had started an interior design business and I saw her work on our local Facebook page. It looked good so I suggested she come over for a consultation. She was full of enthusiasm about what she could do and I liked her company so I opened some wine. After our second bottle and lots of flirting, I went in for a kiss. I wasn't sure how she'd react but she was all over me and we went upstairs and had sex. I had been so off women since my wife but she reignited a spark in me and it felt amazing. She's now transforming my house every day and doing the decorating, it's great. But she also wants to stay over. I've not had the place to myself for two weeks now. The sex is great but I don't want to commit. DEIDRE SAYS: You need to be clear about how you feel. It may just be a fling for you but perhaps her emotions run deeper. It's only fair to be honest. She may decide then that it's purely business and it may be better to leave it at that. I'm sorry to hear your wife cheated on you. You clearly loved her and it will take some time before you are ready for another relationship. Talking to an impartial counsellor will help. My support pack called How Counselling Helps explains more. You can find support from the Divorce Recovery Workshop ( which runs sessions to help you to get over the trauma of divorce. MARRIED LOVER'S SO GOOD IN BED DEAR DEIDRE: DO I stick with seeing a man who is great in bed but won't leave his wife, or the man who can offer me everything except sex when I want it? I've been seeing a married man for four years. We hook up whenever he's in town. I'm a woman of 40 and we met when he came for an appointment at the firm where I'm a receptionist. We went out for a drink one evening and ended up having the best sex together. He told me he was married and didn't want anything serious. Since then, I've met a guy online who is lovely. He is good looking, 43, and runs his own business. He asked me to go on holiday with him but I haven't committed yet. We've had a bit of fumbled sexual play only once. He says he has low testosterone levels so sex is a problem for him but for me, it's a big part of a holiday. I have a high sex drive. What should I do? DEIDRE SAYS: You're the married guy's booty call so he's a no. Sex with him may scratch the itch but he's cheating and you're enabling him to do that. If the other guy is a free agent and you like him, talk to him about checking in with his doctor to see whether his testosterone levels can be improved. It's a shame for anyone so young to not be enjoying a good sex life if they have the chance. My pack Reviving A Man's Sex Drive will help. DEAR DEIDRE: MY habit of sending girls sexy text messages has blown up yet another relationship. I thought I was happy and that this relationship had a chance but it doesn't take much to turn my head. I'm a guy of 32 and my now-ex is 29. We met at a padel court where she was partnered with me. She was lively and pretty and when we won our match, we celebrated with a drink in the pub and I then asked her for her number. We started dating but I kept my options open and would chat to other women. I'll ask them for nude pics and sometimes I send explicit pictures to them too. When I was texting a girl online one evening, my girlfriend snatched my phone and the cat was out of the bag. She dumped me there and then. I'm a first-class idiot. DEIDRE SAYS: You have to decide what it is you really want. Are you after a quick fling because the single life holds more appeal for you? Or do you want that long-term relationship? If it's the latter, you need to commit and make your relationship as exciting as it can be so that you're not interested in anyone else. Perhaps you've witnessed bad break-ups through your family so this self-sabotage is ensuring girlfriends don't get too close? My support pack Can't Be Faithful? explores this in more depth. SCARED TO MEET HIS SICK MOTHER DEAR DEIDRE: MY partner's mother suffered a brain injury in a car accident three years ago and I'm dreading meeting her. My partner says she's unpredictable and can lash out. He says it's a little like dementia. She's only 50. My partner's dad looks after her at their home and they have carers come in. I'm 25, my boyfriend is 27 and we've been together for six months. My family have met him and they like him. His sister is having a 30th birthday party and we are invited, along with their parents and my partner's brothers and their families. My partner says I must ignore anything his mother says because she can upset people. They aren't going to tell her I'm going until the last minute because she freaks out when she doesn't know somebody. I'm unsure how to handle the situation. Do I go in, hug her or do I not go near her? I want to meet his siblings and his Dad but I'm scared that I'm going to say the wrong thing or upset his Mum. I'm dreading what should be a happy occasion. DEIDRE SAYS: This can still be a very happy occasion and it's a good chance for you to get to know his family. As she's your partner's mother who he loves very much, he is the person best placed to know how you should greet her so involve him. Take her some flowers so that if she recognises a kind gesture, it will help. It will also give her something to focus on, rather than you. Don't expect much acknowledgement from her but the family will appreciate it. After that, take the lead from everyone else and try to relax. For further help and support, talk with (0808 800 2244), a brain injury charity. And try to enjoy the party!

UC Berkeley Professor's Ex-Wife Convinced Lover to Kill Him: Lover's Alleged Confession
NEED TO KNOW Przemyslaw Jeziorski was slain in broad daylight in Greece earlier this month His ex-wife is among five arrested in connection with the killing The beloved father was reportedly locked in a custody dispute with his ex-wife over their two childrenA man arrested in connection with the killing of a beloved California professor allegedly told Greek police he was acting on the orders of his girlfriend, who is the professor's ex-wife. Przemyslaw Jeziorski, 43, a business and marketing professor at University of California, Berkeley, was gunned down in Agia Paraskevi, a suburb of the Greek capital of Athens, on July 4, police previously said. Jeziorski was in the city for a custody hearing and to visit his children, who were in custody of his ex-wife at the time, ABC 7 and Greek outlet Ta Nea reported. Days later, Greek authorities arrested the woman, her boyfriend and three others in connection with the crime, ABC News and local outlets To Vima and ERT (Greek: EPT) reported. Per Greek provisions, the names of the defendants have not been publicly released by authorities. The woman's boyfriend allegedly confessed to the crime, telling police he was acting on her orders, per officials' accounts cited by CNN, Dimokratia and ERT. The man allegedly said he carried out the killing because they were worried Jeziorski would take the children away, CNN reported. "I made the decision to end this torment we were experiencing once and for all,' he allegedly said. On the day of the killing, he was driven by the three other accomplices to the location where he lay in wait for Jeziorski, per the alleged confession. 'I approached him and shot him a few times, but I don't remember how many times,' the man allegedly said. One of the five people arrested is a minor, per CNN. All but the professor's ex-wife have allegedly confessed to their link to crime, while she maintains her innocence, the outlet reported. In the months leading up to the slaying, Jeziorski had reportedly filed a restraining order against his ex-wife, according to court documents obtained by the San Francisco Chronicle, ABC News and SF Gate. In the filing, Jeziorski alleged that the woman's boyfriend had physically assaulted him on two occasions when dropping off or picking up the children, per all three outlets. Jeziorski alleged in the document that his ex-wife would specifically have her boyfriend pick up or drop off the children following Jeziorski's visitation in a bid to intimidate him, the Chronicle is being remembered by his loved ones — both in the United States and his native Poland for his dedication to his work and his children. Zsolt Katona, a fellow professor and colleague at UC Berkeley, told PEOPLE in a statement following the murder: 'If there is any consolation in these moments, it's knowing the lasting impact that he left on so many people's lives." His family has set up an online fundraiser to assist with costs related to transporting his body to Poland. Read the original article on People

UC Berkeley professor killed in Athens: Suspect claims he ‘did it all for' victim's ex-wife, leaked police confession reveals
Greek police lead the ex-wife of murdered UC Berkeley professor Przemyslaw Jeziorski to court in Athens on July 17, alongside her new boyfriend and three others alleged to be involved in the Polish educator's shooting on July 4. CNN has added blur to this image. (CNN Greece via CNN Newsource) On the morning of July 4, an American marketing professor was walking towards his ex-wife's house in Athens to pick up their two young children. It should have been an unremarkable, if strained visit – the couple had apparently been disputing the terms of custody arrangements. But Przemyslaw Jeziorski never made it to the front door. In broad daylight, in this typically quiet, suburban neighbourhood of Greece's capital, he was shot multiple times at close range, according to police. Jeziorski died where he fell, police said, his body riddled with gunshot wounds seen in grim photographs taken in the immediate aftermath. As eyewitnesses rushed to his aid, the masked gunman fled. The alleged perpetrator, arrested 12 days later: His ex-wife's new partner. The motive, he told police: to prevent Jeziorski from taking away her children. 'I did it all for (her) and our children so that we could have a normal life without problems,' he said, according to a transcript of a statement he made to police in the aftermath of his arrest for premeditated murder as well as illegal possession and use of a weapon. One of the most remarkable aspects of the case is that the statements made to police by the alleged perpetrators have been widely leaked to Greek media, including a CNN affiliate, CNN Greece. The statements, verified as authentic by a senior police source speaking to CNN, offer an insight into how the alleged murder plot was put together, why it was undertaken, and provide clues as to who may have known what, and when. But there are key questions unresolved, too – not least the role, if any, of Jeziorski's ex-wife. According to Greek police, she is facing moral accomplice charges, which she denies, according to her lawyer, who spoke to CNN. Like all the suspects in this case, her identity is known to CNN but cannot be published due to Greek legal restrictions. The alleged perpetrator's confession, and other conflicting accounts from three alleged accomplices that were also leaked to the press, sets up what is likely to be a lengthy and high-profile trial. Meanwhile, the killing and the aftermath have shocked the friends and family of the victim, who say Jeziorski was a kind and introverted academic who loved his children. Jeziorski, 43, who went by the nickname Przemek or 'PJ,' was an economist and tenured professor of marketing at the University of California Berkeley's Haas School of Business. He was born in Poland and moved to the United States in 2004 to study economics and math at the University of Arizona, and he went on to obtain his PhD from Stanford. 'He was one of the sharpest people I've ever met,' said Robert Kowalski, the victim's friend from Stanford. 'He was a great guy, a genius in many regards.' UC Berkeley said in a statement that Jeziorski 'had a passion for teaching' and during his 13 years at the California university, he taught data analytics skills to more than 1,500 graduate and PhD students. His research work centered on emerging markets, which took him around the world for field research, and Berkeley described him as 'a leading expert in quantitative marketing, industrial organization, and the economics of digital markets.' The dean of UC Berkeley's business school, Jenny Chatman, said she was 'heartbroken' by the death of Jeziorski, who she described as a 'beloved member of our marketing faculty.' Custody battle Jeziorski met his ex-wife – a Greek national – in San Francisco in 2013, and they got married the following year, according to Kowalski. The couple's twins were born shortly after. In 2015, the couple co-founded a start-up called Keybee, a short-term rental property management platform. It's unclear what led to their relationship falling apart, but Kowalski told CNN the couple broke up around 2020 after moving to Greece during the Covid pandemic. Their children are dual US and Polish citizens, according to a statement from the victim's brother. The children had applied for Greek citizenship and were awaiting a decision on that, according to the ex-wife's lawyer. Jeziorski filed for divorce in June 2021, according to California court records. It appears to be one element in a years-long custody battle for the children, who ultimately lived with their mother in Greece, with a provision that their father, Jeziorski, could take the children for one month every summer. According to Kowalski, Jeziorski asked during the custody battle that his children attend an American school in Greece, so that they could be able to attend high school or college in the US one day. But his ex-wife was afraid of losing the kids much sooner, according to the statement to police from the principal suspect, her boyfriend. 'We were afraid that he (Jeziorski) would end up taking the kids completely. That would completely finish off (my girlfriend), who was overly fond of them. This summer Przemek wanted to take the children and take them to America. But (my girlfriend) did not agree and so she went back to court with Przemek,' the suspect said, according to the testimony transcript. On July 3, a custody judgement ruled that Jeziorski was indeed allowed to take the children for a month. Conflicting confessions 'A month and a half ago I made the decision to end this torment we were experiencing once and for all,' the suspect told police, adding that it was a 'good opportunity' given that Jeziorski was in Athens to attend the custody hearing. The statement details how the suspect says he bought a pistol more than a month ago and asked a friend, who is from Bulgaria, to help him 'find Przemek and scare him so that he wouldn't take our children away from us.' He said it all began in Nafplio, a coastal city about two hours from Athens, 'so that it would appear that I was there' and his cell phone would 'leave traces.' The suspect said that that he, his friend and two others – a man and a teenager from Albania – he paid drove to Athens and waited on the same street as the ex-wife's house, where the suspect said he knew Jeziorski was coming that afternoon to pick up the kids. 'I approached him and shot him a few times, but I don't remember how many times,' he said. According to the statement, the men had rented a gray Porsche Cayenne as a getaway car, but the murder suspect told police that his accomplices left him at the scene after they saw him shoot the victim. Police said Jeziorski died at the scene, where seven bullet casings were found after a masked gunman shot him in the neck and chest. The three unnamed men who allegedly helped, two Albanian nationals and a Bulgarian national, are facing accomplice charges, police announced Thursday. The suspected accomplices – one of whom is a minor – have confessed to their peripheral involvement in the killing, a Greek police source told CNN on Thursday. CNN has been unable to reach attorneys for those men. 'My client has confessed his actions but as you can see from the simplicity of some of the things that took place this was not an organized plan. His accomplices only knew about a plan to scare him (the victim) so he would stay away from the children,' the main suspect's lawyer, Ermis Papoutsis, told CNN. '(The ex-wife), his partner, knew nothing about any of this.' 'My client had come to me in the past to seek advice. He had said his partner's ex-husband had serious alcoholism issues and that he and the mother were worried about allowing access to the kids. He wanted to see if there was something he could legally do about limiting access,' the lawyer added. 'Now he is completely devastated after what happened. We will ask for a psychiatric examination because he has had some issues in the past.' Jeziorski's friends have denied the allegations that he abused alcohol. On Friday, CNN Greece obtained the police testimony of the alleged accomplice from Bulgaria, which contradicts the account of the alleged gunman. In this account, the alleged accomplice claims the victim's ex-wife had 'organized the whole thing.' He described his friend, the perpetrator, obtaining a gun and then asking 'me to find some people to take him to Athens the next day to scare and threaten the Pole so that he would 'back down' on custody of the children.' 'In fact, from what he told me, (the ex-wife) made him do it because she didn't want to give the children to the Pole,' the accomplice said in the testimony,' adding that the perpetrator offered him thousands of euros after he 'did something we hadn't agreed on.' As for the ex-wife – beyond the statement of her lawyer, denying all knowledge, there is no further information about her testimony. 'We continue to maintain her innocence. Based on the case file and what we will present both in our written submission and during the oral proceedings in the main inquiry, we will highlight the key points that prove she had absolutely no involvement,' the ex-wife's lawyer, Alexandros Pasiatas, said outside the court Monday. 'She is innocent, she declares her innocence, just as she did at the start.' For reasons that are unclear, nothing from her statements to police have made their way to the Greek media. These inconsistencies – and other unanswered questions – will all be dealt with at the trial. 'Our family is heartbroken' Meanwhile, the victim's family are dealing with the aftermath of an unimaginable tragedy. The victim's brother said in a statement that 'our family is heartbroken,' but grateful to Greek police and security professionals who made the arrests. 'Przemek's ten-year-old children, who are US and Polish citizens, are now under care in accordance with Greek child custody procedures,' the victim's brother Łukasz Jeziorski said in a statement. 'Our primary concern is their safety and wellbeing, and helping them reconnect with their family to minimize the trauma they have already endured.' Jeziorski's family started an online fundraiser to repatriate his remains to his native Poland and pay for legal representation in Greece. A US State Department spokesperson told CNN the agency is providing consular assistance to the family. On Monday, the five suspects were appearing in person in court for their plea, according to Michalis Dimitrakopoulos, the lawyer representing the victim's family. The court will determine whether the suspects will be remanded in custody pending the trial. A trial date will be set at a later stage, Dimitrakopoulos told CNN. 'The victim's mother and brother will take sole custody of the children,' Dimitrakopoulos told Greek media on Friday. The lawyer said that 'we've talked to the prosecutor for minors so that the victim's mom and brother can get full custody of the kids and live with them in Poland, where they are now.' 'They have the opportunity to raise them in a loving environment, in a completely protective environment,' Dimitrakopoulos said, adding that 'if the mother is acquitted, because we respect the presumption of innocence, then she has the right to request sole custody of her children.' CNN's Amy Croffey and Chris Dos Santos contributed to this report. By Lauren Kent and Elinda Labropoulou, CNN

'Przemek's ten-year-old children, who are US and Polish citizens, are now under care in accordance with Greek child custody procedures,' the victim's brother Łukasz Jeziorski said in a statement. 'Our primary concern is their safety and wellbeing, and helping them reconnect with their family to minimize the trauma they have already endured.' Jeziorski's family started an online fundraiser to repatriate his remains to his native Poland and pay for legal representation in Greece. A US State Department spokesperson told CNN the agency is providing consular assistance to the family. On Monday, the five people charged will appear in person in court for their plea, according to Michalis Dimitrakopoulos, the lawyer representing the victim's family. The court will determine whether the suspects will be remanded in custody pending the trial. A trial date will be set at a later stage, Dimitrakopoulos told CNN. 'The victim's mother and brother will take sole custody of the children,' Dimitrakopoulos told Greek media on Friday. The lawyer said that 'we've talked to the prosecutor for minors so that the victim's mom and brother can get full custody of the kids and live with them in Poland, where they are now.' 'They have the opportunity to raise them in a loving environment, in a completely protective environment,' Dimitrakopoulos said, adding that 'if the mother is acquitted, because we respect the presumption of innocence, then she has the right to request sole custody of her children.'
