I was in the middle of another string, when my situation got a whole lot worse.
In a nutshell, H comes home drunk and late. I am awake with a sick child, and see he's missed a call from a girl I don't know, check his messages (never done that before) and find an 'I love you' text from this girl. Big loud row follows, he claims it was just kisses, he's now at his mothers while I decide what on earth to do.
We have 2 young boys.
Today, 3 days later, my youngest asks me if daddy kissed another girl. Turns out he heard us arguing.
I say daddy is away at his mums because I am cross about his drunk behaviour, and I need him to be more grown up and responsible. But essentially I brush over the kisses thing, to buy some time.
I am not protecting my H.
I just know that I have an enormous responsibility right now to show my boys what marriage and commitment means.
If I tell them the truth, I will feel I have to take drastic action to let them know men can't treat women like shit. I want then to grow up emotionally intelligent, and kind.
But don;t want to take a position just to make a point to the kids.
Oh shit.
