Cooking for another woman's husband

Need to get this off my chest.

There's a back story so trying to some it up.DH's BF=married female.She hates me.She'd rather I was out of the way.Seems to think DH is hers and encourages problems in our marriage.

Seems to think I'm a neglectful wife,likes to tell me my house is a shithole and my husband hates coming home.

My DH spends far too much time there and stays over.We have had numerous massive arguments about the intimate nature of their relationship,him staying over,dodging his responsibilities at home and hiding there,him oversharing details of our marriage that's no one else's business and her shitty attitude towards me.

Her DH just goes along with whatever she does.I have a sickening suspicion that my her&my DH have also crossed the friendship line.I don't trust her as far as I can chuck her.She walked out on her ex&their kids for her current DH.

The tensions this causes in our relationship resulted in a temporary separation earlier this year.

Hubby stayed there again last night under the pretence of doing some work for them last night/today.He as usual has acted like myself&our kids don't exist for the last 24 hours which is what he does when he's there.Its complete radio silence from him.

Today I've been trying to pin him down about coming home and he won't give me a definitive answer.My Teen DD called her dad as her dad going off like this makes her anxious and asked him when he's coming home and his reply was he's going to have dinner then come home later.

This means that his BF rather than telling him to go home to his family and eat with me is cooking him dinner and encouraging him to loiter.

This has really infuriated me and I snapped and told him that if she's cooking his dinner then why not let her have a few more of my wifely duties like getting to wash his skid marks out of his underwear and swallowing a mouthful of his semen (that's the polite term I didn't use) and I told him that tonight they've both crossed a boundary.

AIBU in expecting him to do the normal thing of coming home from work to his wife for dinner for instead of continuing to leave me alone with our Children in our home whilst ignoring me.

My friends and family think he's a fool who's serving his own selfish needs and I should take the kids and move out as their all fed up with the way he treats his family.

Thanks for reading,it makes me feel better to just let it all out.

@popsydoodle4444 I feel so sad reading your post. You deserve so much better than this. It isn’t right him staying the night at another woman’s house like that. Or eating there! Any of it. Please please consider the other posts on here suggesting you leave. He can’t treat you like this lovely Sad it isn’t fair on you or your DD. Be a role model for her and show her women are not door mats Who put up with this kind of thing. Your relationship will be the main example of how a relationship ‘should be’ in your daughters eyes for many years. Please don’t let her view this kind of behaviour as okay. He’s so disrespectful to you!!! You know it is true. Thinking of you OP Flowers

@popsydoodle4444 would HE let this kind of behaviour slide if you did it with another man????

If you actually want him back, it’s time for a ‘me or her’ ultimatum. Just let him choose. That way you can keep your DD’s support, and the house presumably too. If he decides to stay, he needs to get rid of the ‘friend’. If not, hasta la vista.

Why are you blaming her? It’s your DH you are married to

FFS - OP is very clearly blaming BOTH of them. I hate this attitude that the OW must never be blamed under any circumstances. They should both be held to account!

I have a sickening suspicion that my her&my DH have also crossed the friendship line.

Just get rid of him. Your friends and family are right. Leave them to it, it sounds as if they deserve one another. You and the kids deserve so much more.

As harsh as it is, if he loved you he'd choose you.

He's chosen her. Not just once, but over and over again, despite it damaging your marriage and his relationship with his children.

Men and women can just be close friends. My best friend is male. But your DH’s behaviour totally crosses the line as even if it isn’t physical, he is putting her before you.

Sparklypurpleunicornsaremyfav · 28/11/2019 17:58

Just out of curiosity if your daughter is 14, how long exactly has this been going on?

CharlotteCollinsneeLucas · 28/11/2019 18:35

Focus.

Focus on a plan to improve your DD's mental health by giving her life more stability than it currently has.

Mathanxiety wrote a very useful post yesterday. Full of practical advice. I think she renamed Citizens Advice Bureau CBA, but apart from that her advice is great.

You've separated before - was your financial situation similar then? Anyway, get as much advice as you can and make your plans.
