DH's personality changed drastically around 2 years ago. Never been emotionally supportive but it's been like living with a robot.
I had suspicions about an old schoolfriend of his who had been messaging him but was told I was being paranoid.
Fast forward to last month - I had had enough of his behaviour, it was making me ill. I had repeatedly tried to get him to seek help but he wouldn't so I told him I wanted to separate.
I told him I still loved him, but needed to do this before we started to hate each other. We have a teenage daughter and I wanted her to have parents who were on good terms.
He didn't have anywhere to go so I let him stay (in the same bedroom as we don't have a spare)!
We agreed finances, I was buying his share of the house etc.
He moved on Saturday, I helped him move his stuff, he's been ordering all sorts for his new place and having it delivered here. So I took all that and him up to the new place on Saturday. All very amicable.
DD went to see him on the first night, and caught him with the other woman. It's been going on for over a year apparently. To say we are devastated is an understatement.
He's lied to me and was so callous when confronted. DD is heartbroken, she idolised him.
DD wants nothing to do with him. She's old enough to make up her own mind.
OW made herself deliberately visible to DD so she has engineered the whole thing, I'm disgusted with her.
Even though I knew my marriage was over and was coping well with it, this has just destroyed me. We were together almost 30 years and I honestly adored him.
I don't know what to do? Don't want him back, but what's next? I need to divorce, but do I re negotiate the financial side? I want to ask him about where thy used to meet, etc. Is that going to help me or not? So many questions going round in my head.
