Cutting a long story short my husband wants to separate. I am moving back to my home town with our 2 kids and he says it's for the best cause he's not in love with me anymore.

So I did the usual cried and fired moved out for a while and came back and now it's been 6 months and I'm finally slowly accepting all of this a little bit at a time day by day. He is acting everyday like nothing is wrong, still hugging me still giving me kisses in the forehead, still tickling me and being playful & all of it is making me cringe. I said to him a few days ago maybe this is for the best & I am starting to feel myself detaching from you slowly & he went mad starting saying 'aww good for u then it'll be easier for you to get over your broken heart when your gone' & I said I hope so. He wouldn't speak to me for a while so I got up and went out and left him with the kids. Then last night he asked where all our wedding pictures where? I had taken them all off the wall when we had an argument one night a few weeks back and put them in plastic bags and put them in our sunroom! He couldn't have cared less! I had put them there with the intention of throwing them out but didn't have the heart to until yday. So my husband last night asked where they were and I said I finally had the strength to get rid of them and he went mad 'aww so that's the way you want to be then fine!!!' & he didn't speak to me the rest of the night, went to bed & got up this morning and he's ignoring me. I said to him sure your getting everything you asked for and your still annoyed and that's it I am not talking to him I'm not getting roped into this.

Anyway I wanted to ask is he emotionally manipulating me? He also wants me to 'leave the door open for us in the future' which I think is a joke!!! And I said I don't think I can do that and he said 'aww well I hope you don't regret your decision?' I said no you made the decision to end our marriage and I hope you don't regret it!!

Anyone else's husbands doing this??

Thanks

My H was upset when I took our wedding photo down and I did on a weekend where he had openly gone way with his girlfriend - the OW - about 2 months after he moved out! 🙄

Purplejay I guess he just wants you to stay home wringing your hands and wearing black in mourning! Grin

Lore - read that back and ask yourself what the fuck were you doing accepting that.

Get rid of him. He is a dickhead

My partner of 25 years has been cheating on me. I keep catching him out but am trying to stick at it as my daughter has her A levels coming up.
Recently he has been particularly cruel by going out for dinner with her in town on a Saturday night with another couple and also taking her away on a business trip overnight.
I want him to leave and he wants to leave.
I’m at breaking point with his lies and deceit and want him to go now, but if I slung him out now would be DD exams be effected in a few months?
Anyone got any advice please.
Thank you so much for reading
