My husband left me and my son 7days ago

I had been with my husband since 2011 and he was is the love of my life. I had our son in 2014 the build up was awful as he didn’t want a baby and refused to touch me even after he was born he didn’t want to touch me I asked him that if he wanted to leave please go as I didn’t want him trapped. Years later life was good he proposed and we got married in 2021 then may 2023 I caught him sexting a girl he dated/slept with before we got together. He refused to show me the text messages and said he would be embraced. Over the last years since that I’ve tried my best to to over come the betrayal and grief that caused I’ve gone to counselling and I’ve had the doctor up my antidepressants so I could over come. We started having more intimacy then this year it stopped he went distance again I’ve asked so many times are we ok and is he ok and evertime he would say we are fine and he’s invested we started going fishing together we would have a good time but he didn’t want to do family things saying he hated family stuff and that our boy was trying to replace him and that he fancied me and my mother and son bond was odd and made him uncomfortable making it sound strange. I’ve tried so hard to try and listen and take everything on abroad to make him happy but Monday I came home from work after he had ignored me all day to find him in the kitchen telling me he was leaving and it was all my fault that I hadn’t been nice to him over the years and he hadn’t been in love with me for a while. This has broken me he told me he was moving out so I packed his clothes and he was annoyed with me because he wanted to take a bag at a time and go through it I went in a safe that he had in our bedroom cupboard and he had the girls number he cheated with written on a lotto ticket dated from 2014. I told him I had looked and he was deeply offended and I had over stepped the mark going in there and he wanted in his words to fucking head butt me I’ve never spoken to him in a disrespectful way but I screamed for him to get out the house he did. He blames me for him cheating that I hadn’t pushed him into and that my dad who I was really close with that passed away would have stood with him and his choice to leave after I’ve been asking is he ok l. I’ve never felt as lonely and unseen as I have for the last year but apparently it’s all my fault things I’ve done in the past made big things and I’m not capable of change and he needs to put his happiness first now. He’s always told me he hates our boy and can’t wait for him to be 18 so he again in his words can fuck off. I’ve put up with so much and I’m so stupid because I want him to come home. Why can someone you love so much hurt you in this way

He hates his son. He is an evil twat.

FlannelandPuce · 24/11/2024 14:20

Honestly lovely girl change the locks and don't let him back into your life. Both you and your precious son deserve much much better. Go no contact, if not for yourself then for your son who needs to be away from a volatile adult who openly says he doesn't want, and hates him. Build a secure and loving home for you both and think yourself luck to have escaped such a vile man. Do not look back

DelphiniumBlue · 24/11/2024 14:22

He hates your son?? What am I reading??
Good for you for packing up his stuff so he can take everything and just go. But seriously, how can you love a man who is jealous of his own son? He sounds just horrible, dragging in your dead father to justify his own scumbag actions is the icing on the cake.
Keep your dignity and be the one to issue divorce proceedings.
Don't dramatise this, think carefully about why you think you love someone who is so awful. Stop using terms like "the love of your life," that is hyping him up to be better than he is. He is a poor excuse for a man and I really hope that you can start to raise your bar. See if you can get some counselling and look forward to a happier life without him.

Duckingella · 24/11/2024 14:25

He's a nasty vile POS who's abusive,lies,cheats and hates his own child.

It's not normal or natural to behave like that towards your own child and it's really F*cked up to be jealous of your child;I had a father who openly hated me,let me that he never wanted to be a father and was very jealous of my relationship with my mum.It's really left its mark on me emotionally.

You are so much better off without him,he's not the love of your life,a man who was wouldn't treat you like that.A huge well done for packing his bags and showing him the door.

mrstumbler · 24/11/2024 14:26

I think this has got to be one of the worst things I've ever read on here.
Yes this man has head fucked you over the years but how could you stand to hear him talk about your boy that way ? He is the same age as my son. That's heartbreaking for him. Him leaving is the best thing for you both, don't let him have contact with his son if he even tries to.

Mymanyellow · 24/11/2024 14:28

How is this man the love of your life ffs? He hates your son. Good job he’s left.

Zombella · 24/11/2024 14:31

'He’s always told me he hates our boy and can’t wait for him to be 18'

And yet you still married him 🤷‍♀️

JadePerri · 24/11/2024 14:35

He said he was going so I just wanted to show him I wouldn’t stop him if that was what he wanted. He’s never wanted to do stuff with me and my boy it’s my birthday on Monday and he wanted him to sleep over the house he’s moved to but now he’s going to bring him back. He told me the night he was leaving that he wasn’t in love with me and that he loved me in a way he wouldn’t want to see me decapitated. I’ve drove myself mad for months and now he hates me resents me hates his job hates our house hates that we have animals he got the life he never wanted and I’m to blame. He said I’ve tried controlling him I never have he’s always come and gone as he pleases and I’ve waited at home for him. He said I’m smelly and fat and he would have baths with me to make sure I washed and that I couldn’t escape conversation with him as I would take on the phone coming home and then I would ignore him I didn’t ignore him I’ve only ever wanted the best for us for him. My son misbehaved in February and he took all his technology off him and refused to give it back my son would sometimes leave his bedroom light on at night so he took his light bulbs and I was wrong for giving him a torch he didn’t want to tuck him in and give him a kiss good night said it wasn’t normal

We was already married when he said it

He's revolting. Get you and your child child a long way away from him. And think yourself lucky he's finally gone. Why on earth have you let this carry on for so long? He's terrified and abused you son for goodness sake - February is almost a year ago and you somehow thought taking light bulbs out of a small child's room was ok? I'm probably hard and old, but I don't get how a mother can watch their child being treated like this. Abuse me, but touch the kids and I'd have been gone.
My ex was horribly abusive to me, and yes, it took me a little while to get out, but he never ever hurt, emotionally, or physically, our daughter. That would have been the end
Obviously legal advice is essential too,

Balticsea · 24/11/2024 14:41

What an awful, evil man hating his own son! I pity his new partner having an a hole like this in her life. I realise you are upset, but this time next year you will see things differently.

JadePerri · 24/11/2024 14:55

I've always tried to stop him being horrible to our boy and tried to get him to see my parenting view and he's told me I've ruined him I've spoilt him I've stopped him from having the bond with him. I would say to him that he needed to talk to the doctor and that our boy is wonderful but he would listen trying to convince me that at 10 he's a narcissist and that he's manipulating me against my husband and I didn't share that opinion. He would tell me how weird I was because I'm affectionate with my son and it's wrong I would cwtch in bed with him and we would have sleep overs in his room on a Friday night but I had to put a stop them as he wasn't happy about it. Over time I've become a shadow of myself because he's slowly but surely had me feeling rubbish about our family life and all I've wanted to do is have a happy family and for everyone to be happy he hated I wouldn't treat our son his way I've asked for months for his stuff back and I've provided lights and torches so he can read his books even though it made me the bad guy to my husband. He hates that I've always put my son first

My god, op, what am I reading?

Change the locks, put any more of his remaining crap in bin bags, see a solicitor and find out your RIGHTS... All the usual advice women get here when vile men are vile.

You and your lovely boy are better off without the sperm donor dragging your lives down.

You don't believe it now but your lives will feel better when it's just the two of you.

mrstumbler · 24/11/2024 15:05

Fucking hell it gets worse and worse. Do you not see what a monster he is ? I echo a pp, change the locks and protect your son. He must be so damaged growing up with a father like that.

Bumcake · 24/11/2024 15:06

“he loved me in a way he wouldn’t want to see me decapitated“

What?!

Im sorry, I can only skim your walls of text OP. What is it you love and miss about this prince?

JadePerri · 24/11/2024 15:08

This year my brother died in icu he didn't want to come in the family car or sit with family so he didn't he told me my speech wasn't the best and that the video tribute that I had done for the funeral wasn't his thing and if he knew how long it was he wouldn't have gone because he only went for me I was gutted. My grandfather died and he didn't come to the funeral my aunt died and we went to the church service but couldn't see why I would want to go to the cremation so I didn't he's told me my mam doesn't love me that she loves my brothers and sister but not me and that she's spoiling my son and he didn't want him go over her house. He would say why don't you do this and that and if i did it he would be funny. He said that this world is like a simulator different levels of shit.

Psychopath is the only word I can see here

Icantfindanewname · 24/11/2024 15:11

This is one of the saddest posts I've ever read. Please, please, turf the rest of his stuff out, change the locks, get to a solicitor and divorce the tw@t. Never look back. Personally my son would be unavailable for contact, unless mandated through the court. Your needs are valid. Your love for your son understandable. It may not be the life you envisioned, but stand up, hoik up those big girl pants and LIVE IT.

Bumcake · 24/11/2024 15:11

And you love him and want him back?

JadePerri · 24/11/2024 15:12

The more I say that I've kept in I don't want him to come back but what happened to the person who wasn't like this he's not always been this vile I've not been allowed to decorate the house to cook everything he say he has to do because I'm a financial drain and he concentrating on his happiness now and not trying to make me happy because I'm a rollercoaster and the Rubiks cube of woman

OP posts:
JFDIYOLO · 24/11/2024 15:13

Dceapitated???

OP, this man is a whacko.

Get your child and yourself away from him and seek help.
Solicitor.
Women's Aid.
Citizens' Advice.

And realise there is life and self respect away from this ghastly mess.

Lampzade · 24/11/2024 15:13

He has truly done you a favour by leaving . Trust me

autumndays13 · 24/11/2024 15:17

He is an awful, awful, awful human being. Do not let him back. Without him, you and your son can finally be properly happy. You owe that to your son and to yourself.
The man you describe does not love either of you. He thinks you hold him back and are a burden to him. He does not deserve you.

Getonwitit · 24/11/2024 15:17

I know you are hurting and are in shock but please believe that you are so much better off without the the lying, cheating hateful monster that he is. Always always remember he said he hated your son and repeat it to yourself daily until you realise what a nasty vile POS he is. Why on earth would you want that in your life.
Make plans to divorce, you take control. Do not react the way he thinks you will by going to pieces and begging him to return. Start the divorce and talk to CMS this week. You need to look after your son as his poor poor excuse for his father won't.
You can do this.Flowers

MugPlate · 24/11/2024 15:17

He hates you.

He hates everything you do and say and think.

He hates your child, because he also hates you.

You’re not going to change him and every story you add simply confirms the depths of his hatred.

Why do you think you married someone who hates you?
