4 years married, I tried to commit suicide on Thursday and long story short I'm at my mams house and have been since Friday.

Husband has ignored me since Thursday. We texted briefly on Sunday, he doesn't want to talk to me. He says he's too hurt to talk.

I sent him an email last night at his request and he's ignored that too.

He has ignored everything I've tried to do to get in contact he just says he's too hurt and needs space.

But on Monday he went out with his friends
On Tuesday he went out with 2 girls from work
On Wednesday he was out with his friend
Tonight he's out in town again.

Aibu to just move on? He clearly doesn't want me but is too cowardly to say so

Move on op. Your husband is an arsehole. You deserve better. Flowers

He doesn't sound supportive at all. Is your Mum helping you? I wouldn't try to contact him again, maybe give him space but I wouldn't hold your breath. Unless he has a very good reason for behaving like this I would say you would be feeling better without him, although it will take a while to recover. Good luck op.

I'm really sorry to read this OP Flowers

I'm glad you are at your Mums - and I hope she is giving you the support your arsehole DH isn't? I think you deserve better - and I think you know this? Can you stay at your Mum's for the time being?

I am so sorry you have to go through this. I hope you are in contact with mental health professionals.

I understand that you are hurt by his behaviour, but you don't seem to realize you tried to kill someone he loves. That is not exactly easy to forgive. His way if coping with it might seem immature to you but in general it is very normal for men to react to grief with excessive drinking and going out. It is a version of mindfulness. Doing something to distract you from the hurtful and intrusive thoughts.

I think you need to focus on yourself right now and do your best to get better. Preferably without the help of alcohol. Be kind to yourself. I wish you the best.
