I think my husband has blocked me?!

He’s not been responding to WhatsApp messages today but has definitely been reading them. I messaged him again about 30 mins ago and it’s staying on one grey tick and his profile pic has disappeared.

He could be on the train so it could be that he has no signal but that doesn’t explain why his profile pic has gone.

Op please don't think of yourself as a mug, you tried and it has not worked. You can move on now knowing you did absolutely everything you could. Cut yourself free and you will find peace and happiness in time. Much love x

You sound far more invested than anyone else on this thread tbh.

Report it if you think it's fake, then hide it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Troll hunting is against the rules.

If you think a thread is bullshit, then report it.

All of the posts on MN a could be made up. You're just sticking the boot in when it's not needed so yes you're a TWAT.

BadNomad · 04/03/2023 22:07

That true about everyone here. So if that's your attitude why are you even here? What's the point?

Orchidjoy · 04/03/2023 22:08

I've done as asked and reported it. I guessed on the language used.

So you've reported it, good.

Now you can hide the thread 👋🏻

Sticking around to continue saying you think it's by a troll is against talk guidelines.

shopmyfeelings · 04/03/2023 22:09

@MyBloodyBrother I know you've got some stick here but I actually really admire your approach here. Why chase the bastard!
Concentrate on you and your kids and let him piss about playing games without fuelling it all.

So? Report if you don't believe. Trollhunting is against the rules.

@Orchidjoy you haven’t read my posts if you think he got on a train and blocked me. I have no idea if he got on a train at any point. Thanks for reporting though, maybe you could stop with the troll hunting now you’ve done that.

@MyBloodyBrother Ignore Orchidjoy. They've been reported themself because how they are going on is against MN rules.

You focus on you and your family. You're doing a fantastic job keeping it together and should be proud. I hope you're able to sleep tonight and I hope this proves to be the turning point of your life for the better. Take care.

Go to bed OP, you sound exhausted. Tomorrow is a new day and hopefully you will get some answers.

Ignore Orchid too, most of their posts have been deleted already 😉

Mate that's the stock response MNHQ sends to anyone who says they believe a poster is a troll 😂

Except this isn't her first post. If you rtft you'll see another poster mentions a thread she started a few days ago.

ODFOD.

These harassing troll hunting posts do nothing but scare off genuine posters who won't post for support for fear they will be disbelieved and hounded off the boards.

HI all,

Thank you for all the reports about troll hunting. A reminder that we try to take threads in good faith, and if you have reason to think someone is a troll please hit the report button rather than troll hunt on the thread.

For the record, we're happy to let this thread stand.

Thanks

TwinsAndTiramisu · 04/03/2023 22:35

OP, you are brilliant.

First, your world has not just turned upside down. The dickhead did that a couple of years ago. Now? You're pissed at yourself for giving him the opportunity to mistreat you and DC again. That's just testament to what a good wife you were, and thinking of your DC as a good mum... And he chose to abuse this all over again. For god's sake, when he's begging for his third chance, don't cave. He will waste your precious life.

This man is no husband. Don't cling to a mistake because you've spent a decade making it. Your world has clouded over, for sure. But it's just temporary. Because when you blow away this absolute prick of a man, you're going to see the sun in a way you haven't seen for ten years.

Get yourself a G&T. Run the bath. Wash "him" off and take the first step of a life superior. Flowers

Couldn’t put this better….

OP stay strong, he is a twat and you will be so much better without him in the long run. ❤️

Crazycrazylady · 04/03/2023 22:44

Op

Just to say fair play to you - absolutely do not do the pick me dance for this child of a man who blocks the mother of his children. What kind of moron does that. Change your locks and absolutely way for him to contact you . I guarantee you he thinks you'll come crawling back to him.

Tophy124 · 04/03/2023 23:06

So sorry OP. Sometimes you have to give it another shot to know that a relationship really has died and so don’t be hard on yourself for trying again. Hopefully this time moving on will be easier. You’ve done it before, you know you can do it again and you already live your life with your children alone for the most part. You can do this!! Nobody needs the constant anxiety and stress of this man’s nonsense hanging over them.

I’ve still heard nothing from him and from what I can tell I’m still blocked. My eldest plays Pokémon Go though and said his dad has sent him a gift today. The gifts say where they were collected and this gift is from the town where his parents live up North. I’m guessing he’s there and done that deliberately so we know where he is. He won’t be coming back this weekend then as they’re up in the North West and we’re in the SW.

I’ll just carry on as I am, I guess. I’m not going to try and make contact with him and there’s nothing I need from him in the foreseeable. He knows where we are. I’m desperately sad for my kids more than anything as they were so happy to have him back again and I’m putting them through it all over again.

For what it's worth, gifts in Pokemon Go are collected by spinning a pokestop and then you choose a random gift to send when you send to a friend. So he may have collected the gift in the North but can send a gift saying "Greetings from (insert pokestop location here)" whilst in the SW.

I'm so sorry you're going through this, OP. Sending so much love ❤️
