Aibu
Husband has decided to be running partners with a woman he works with, tbh I'm not comfortable with it for 1 - it's just them ( understand opposite sexes can be friends but this woman has came out of nowhere) 2 - he will not help me with looking after our children but will happily give up his free time to run with this woman?!
Aibu here?

Also to add I haven't been told it's a slip up of someone else telling me 🙄

The fact he's not told you he has a running partner is dodgy. Also, if he can go for runs, you can go do something for yourself while he looks after the kids. A frank non ranting discussion is needed. Also, did he have any input in the decor? Snide to mock it if he was happy to let you do it all. Or, did you disagree about the decor & he gave in, so this is his resentment coming up? If not, does he undermine you in other areas too?

He previously walked out but returned and said he loved you after all...but he was full of hot air. He is selfish and contemptuous, and has continuously shifted blame and responsibility while still pursuing this OW. He won’t even have a reasonable conversation with you. This is all on him, as he has major character flaws.

Doodles, you and your children deserve an emotionally safe home, but this man will never provide that. Empower yourself by returning to the love and support of your family and friends.

Awful *@MsDogLady* 😭 The atmosphere in the house is terrible luckily the children haven't picked up on anything. I feel scared to leave like I'm losing my bottle over it. He kicked off the other night out of nowhere then said I push him till I get a reaction I really don't i was trying to talk to him. We can't have a conversation without him flaring up, he told me I won't have a job , nice home , another relationship as a single mother I know he's trying to make me change my mind but I honestly feel so trapped being so far away from family and not being able to travel to them with covid restrictions 😢
Could always turn the table on him and ask what he means by single mother, the kids are obviously going to be staying with him you'll qv them evey rwr weekend.

After all you can't uproot them and he's such a wonderful father with such a good job it will be better he has the kids as a single dad 90% of the time.

Bet you'll be able to visibly see him go pale Grin
