10 years ago my DH told me was ‘unhappy’ and didn’t want to be with me. Our DC were 4 and 6. DH and I are the same age, both turning 40. He moved out, I found out about OW, filed for divorce. Got to Decree Nisi but he begged for a second chance, went to counselling etc and the divorce lapsed. Roll on 10 years and suddenly he is unhappy again, ‘can’t take me anymore’ and other gaslighting statements. The whole playbook reads just like The Script and a Mid Life Crisis. DH has been horrid, nit-picking on every little thing and telling everyone he meets how I get so angry (peri menopause anyone?) how my hair is always falling out everywhere and even telling the kids how they got perfect genes from him and I’m pre-diabetic. My instinct is to actually go through with the divorce this time as I really can’t trust him and suspect that if I stay with him this will happen again in 5 or 10 years time. Yes I do suspect OW or at least, he is on the lookout for one. Does anyone have experience of a DH that has had a mid life crisis/executed The Script and you have stayed with them? Did it work out, or is this really cause for divorce?
