Husband left after 6 weeks of marriage - new info

Hello all

I originally posted when my husband of 6 weeks left me. He gave me no real explanation other than our relationship was an unhappy one and moved to his mother and stepdads place. We have an almost 3 year old DS together.

After trying to talk it came about that my mental health had been one of the things that had led us down that path. I didn't deal with my depression when it first surfaced after my son was born and it got progressively worse. I am now in a better place mentally.

After being gone 9 weeks, DH had a huge falling out with his stepdad and left. He asked to come home as he had nowhere to go. He's in the spare room and although we've been getting on really well, we're not together.

My update is this: I have never been one to snoop but after going out all weekend to his friends and staying out - something he hates doing...i logged onto his laptop. I found messages between him and a friend and DH admitted to having an affair with a mutual friend of theirs for 9 months - before we got married. She is also very recently married to her husband (they got married in June this year and my DH and I in May). In the messages were no feeling of guilt just trying to justify it. Telling him they are crazy about each other, that was why he left me but she was deciding whether to leave her husband.

When he returned today, he left his apple watch on charge whilst cutting the grass so I took the opportunity to have a look
He had messages from another girl he recently started working with, flirty in nature - mainly on his part - turns out she's a teenager (my DH is 32). I can't get my head around this.. The new girl is only since we seperated but the girl he's having an affair with - if he's crazy about her and left his marriage for her then why message another girl? This is not the man I've known for 6 years.. I have no idea who he is anymore.

You wonderful, strong woman! Must feel great to claim some life back and stop questioning yourself.

Absolutely does. I'm happy it's out. Got some sleep last night for the first time since I found out. I have peace of mind that I'm the bigger person here. That he is delusional in how he feels for her and is confusing lust for love. But I don't care. Let him decide what's for him. I don't want him. Thanks everyone for your kind words. I can move forward now.

Good for you. Ditch the millstone. He's not as great as he thinks he is.

@Fth180519 the advice to end a relationship, especially a marriage is very easy to give when you can see things clearly from the outside. To take that advice when you're in the middle of emotional turmoil is far harder, but you're going to be all the stronger for it. Wishing you every happiness as you keep moving forward and making a great life for yourselves Flowers

It is so hard but be as calm and as non reactive as possible, as any tiny emotion you display even in the face of his lies and betrayals will be re-spun in his head as proof of yr drama/demands/suspicious nature.

The way to hurt him is to try and make him believe that you are ending it just because you can and you want to.

Maybe if you do that he will assume you know and be unable to resist blurting it out!

Different circs but the only thing i ever did that penetrated my x's forcefield of entitlement was to ignore him.

He had a rationalisation for everything. He took no responsibility for anything and he spun everything so that he was the injured party.

Literally the only thing i did (rventually) that wounded his ego a bit was to IGNORE HIM.

If anyone’s crazy, it’s him to think OW is going to leave wealthy husband for him!!! What a bloody fantasist. Never get involved with adults who play dress-ups, OP. They like other lives. Whether it’s medieval re-enactment or cosplay, those “hobbies” are riddled with people who behave like this. (Spoken from experience, unfortunately!)
