My husband moved out, by mutual agreement, about 6 months ago, on the understanding that this may give us time/space to then get things back on track. I have since found out (from him) that before he moved out, he was in touch with another woman but nothing developed, though he thought it might do. After moving out, he did start seeing someone - he told me, and when he saw how distressed and shocked I was, stopped seeing her and told me he would use the rest of the time apart "for its intended purpose", which was in part for him to address his depression/alcohol issues. More recently he told me he was seeing yet somebody else (after I questioned his whereabouts when hoping he could help me with our children). I have now taken off my wedding ring as I feel I have to draw the line - enough is enough.
A couple of weeks ago I received an email from a stranger saying she may be able to help me. The email adressed me by name, but contained nothing specific that related to me. The sender said she knew what I had been through, thought I'd been treated unfairly, could answer any questions I may have, and was on my side. I assumed it was a hoax/spam email, as it could have related to any situation at all, and ignored it. 2 weeks later it was re-sent, but with my husband's name added to the subject line. I have Googled lines from it to see if it is some sort of hoax that is doing the rounds, but no matches came up.
It is really playing on my mind. I don't know whether to ignore it, reply asking who she is, or ask my husband who she is and see what he says. I could open a can of worms but feel I have nothing to lose now. Could things get any worse?
