Newbie poster here in need of some advice. This week I separated from my husband of 18yrs. We have 2 girls. I think my husband is having a mid life crisis as he has become obsessed with buying a classic car. I asked him to wait until we'd got a new family car and a few bits around the house, but his obsession grew and grew. A few weeks ago he told me he was going to look at a car about 150 miles away. What he didn't mention is that he had hired a transporter and rented a garage, so he had every intention of buying it. He is self employed and works from home. I then found out he'd had about 5 days off work, travelling the country looking for a car, yet I'd come home from work and he would let me believe he'd been home as usual all day. His lies and deceitfulness really shook my trust in him - but worse is he does not get why I am so upset with him. He wanted it, i didn't want him to get it so he just lied - nothing wrong with that according to him. He's a good Dad but has a knack of making me the disciplinarian and tells the girls that 'it's party time' whenever I go out. It makes me feel isolated and lie a nag. Anyway we have been unable to reach and compromise or agreement and he moved out this week. Have I over reacted or can you understand how his lies have hurt me?
