To question my DH about the bizarre items ive found?

449 replies

NameChangeHoney · 03/10/2022 12:06

I've been away for work, I have come back to find items that certainly aren't mine, some quite bizarre things. A top, pink nail clippers, womens razor, small makeup pallete, all things that don't belong to me. My DD had also said to me on face time when I was away that DH was talking to a lady in the shower on the phone (she is only 5) so I didn't question her I just left it.
He also keeps checking my phone when I'm not in the room which is adding to my suspicion as that isnt normal behaviour for him.
I feel a bit silly really, it's a few random items but I know they do not belong to me and i feel like hes being weird. I'm not sure now if I'm over thinking or if I should genuinely ask him who the fuck the pink nail clippers belong to 😳😂AIBU to ask or am I being a twat? How do I go forward with this? Any help greatly appreciated.

Are both of the cars yours Op?

If not he surely could just have thought for himself & taken one!

He'll be using her car now then & costing her money will he?

GloriousGlory · 04/10/2022 11:06

I understand your anger OP, but not having a car or having to buy another one will mean loss of family money, affecting his ability to pay maintenance? Also, if he can't get to work from his mums?

I know this is his own doing, but I'm assuming you'll want him to pay as much as possible?

IamnotSethRogan · 04/10/2022 11:08

You're amazing.

Did OW reply ?

Notanotherwindow · 04/10/2022 15:21

Tell his mother ring up his little trollop and ask her for cab fare. And while she'd at it, pass on your congratulations to the aforementioned little trollope boyfriend on the bullet he just dodged.

AgathaX · 04/10/2022 16:51

Excellent response to his mother!

38woman · 04/10/2022 19:02

I think you handled this brilliantly. What a shock. Did you hear from the OW? How was today?

MsDogLady · 04/10/2022 19:08

How are you doing, Honey?

It’s rich that MIL expects you to subsidize H after he treated you and the girls with such contempt and callous disregard. They sound like 2 peas in a pod.

Hiphopboppertybop99 · 04/10/2022 20:45

Oh my ... hope you are ok @NameChangeHoney ....How are your children?

Haven’t you embarrassed yourself?

PixieLaLa · 04/10/2022 22:27

How awful so sorry OP
MIL does not surprise me after hearing how he has behaved, you are much better off without them!

VictoriaSpongePlease · 05/10/2022 00:28

I hope your getting on ok OP. I'd like to think I'd do the same as you. I agree with keeping your assets. I have too and my friends tell me I'm not romantic 🤣.

cooolio · 05/10/2022 01:00

Fucking vultures here 🤣

"Get back to us honey" what?!

NameChangeHoney · 05/10/2022 09:19

All is good thank you all for checking up on me!
Quick update.
I told the OWs partner, he got back to me asking what I know, so I told him. He went on her phone and found loads between her and STBXH so i have a lot of answers now which i needed. She's now single. He also said this wasn't the first time she's done this and that they had been working on things but now it's done.
Girls are ok, I went to my sisters last night and I had a little talk with my 5yo, she seems okay and is looking forward to coming home later.
I refuse to speak to STBXH, and I don't plan to until I have to make arrangements for the girls.
MIL is having meltdowns still lol.

@NameChangeHoney Did you have an inkling of this and just needed proof? You sounded very cool when you posted and not that bothered- almost like it was validating what you kind of suspected anyway.

Glad to hear you are doing well OP, and good on you for telling her dp. I presume it was more than the once he claimed it was? She sounds absolutely abhorrent.

Mix56 · 05/10/2022 12:25

The Greedy remark to MIL is gold
Well done.
He made his choices.

cravattwat · 05/10/2022 14:24

@NameChangeHoney sounds like you are doing brilliantly although it probably doesn't feel like it.

If your MIL continues to hassle you I would just tell her that you have enough to resolve for

cravattwat · 05/10/2022 14:25

Ffs!

...you have enough to resolve for you and your children and don't have the headspace to manage her stuff or feel sorry for her cheating son then block her if she can't behave.

TheUsualChaos · 05/10/2022 14:36

MIL reaction should be appalled at her son and supportive of you.
Sounds like she would be quite happy for you to take back her selfish, cheating son just so that she can carry on playing happy families. Sod that.

Twinsmummy1812 · 05/10/2022 23:34

All the best to you and your girls OP, you sound tremendous

pepsirolla · 06/10/2022 01:26

Stranger on the Internet here but wanted to say admire how you handling this, bodes well for you and yours future. Have witnessed this in rl and you will come back better, he on the other hand will sink and one day realise what he's lost. Stay strong🌺
