Its Wrong But Feels So Right

ItsWrongButFeelsSoRight · 31/01/2011 00:00

I have name changed for this and it will probably be worded wrong Sad

I have been with DP for 5 yrs.
When we got together we were both married but already seperated.
My divorce was finalised the same year just 2 months after we got together.
He moved into my home pretty quick although after a few days I made it clear it was too soon for me so he moved back out. We moved bak in together after he was taken ill and a hospital stay. I fell pregnant the same year.

Fast forward to us being together 4 years which takes us to last year he proposed to me and I accepted, now maybe stupidly I went and bought the "perfect" wedding dress, bridesmaids dresses, along with other items.

I even went as far as booking a date at the church. Then just before Christmas he dropped the bomb shell that he has not done anything with the divorce.

I have been taking time out for myself for a few months and over the last 4/5 weeks have become close to someone. Nothing has happened - well we have kissed a few times. He listens to me, and vice versa. He is 2yrs older than DP BUT so much younger iyswim?

Now I know even kissing him is wrong - in my heart of hearts I know DP doesn't want to marry me otherwise he would have carried on with the divorce which I made the initial payment for when he was skint.

Ii have started to make friends where I am going out of a weekend BUT I am also seeing how little DP is actually with me. Yes he works but even when he has a day off he spends his time on his hobby or vegging on the chair all day.

Last night I went out somewhere different to my usual place and my "friend" was there - working. He had told me he would give me a lift home and I spent the entire evening laughing and talking just generally having a good time. He offered me drinks which I refused but did buy my own and a couple for him.

He did bring me home - at 4am after we had been for a very late night coffee in an all night coffee shop.

Today we have been texting and talking - just general chit chat.
Now kiss aside there is nothing going to happen - I just am enjoying having someone to talk to.

I have sat down with DP many times and tried to talk, have listened etc , i have emailed him, text him and even written him letters to explain how I feel about things. But he ignores it all.

He won't come to any family thing unless he has caused a row before hand during which he gets DS1 laughing at me which infuriates me.

Its almost as if he is staying as he has nowhere else to go.

I am rambling I know but am trying to get all of this out in one go and everything is blanding in together.

AF, You just help me keep it real.......without your plain talking I may cave in but I keep peeking bak at what you have said.

AnyFucker · 01/02/2011 08:22

how you feeling today?

poshsinglemum · 01/02/2011 08:29

Get rid; he lied about his divorce. Horrid.

Lulumaam · 01/02/2011 08:30

have just read this absolutly agog!

how can you bear to have him in the same house as you?

he's used you for money, lied about his divorce, allowed you to plan and buy for a wedding he knew couldn't happen and yet you feel guilty and confused. this is madness.

get him out of your life, he is poison

prettywhiteguitar · 01/02/2011 10:02

I have just read your thread and I am totally amazed that you can bear to have him in the house.

If he works then he can afford a yha for a week while he finds another flat

get him out

what an utter wanker

just tell him you have changed your mind and found some self respect

TheLadyEvenstar · 01/02/2011 10:57

It is my birthday today and right now i feel like total crap.

He came back at 2am and started rowing, he finally stopped at 7am after having woke DS2 up at 5am by turning lights on and shouting.

He has told me he is (in his own words) "Act a cunt when people come here for your birthday so they walk out"

Now he is in bed sleeping and I am up wiith the boys. Am so bloody tired.

AnyFucker · 01/02/2011 11:02

Just add that little performance from him to your list of "reasons why I must dump this twat ASAP"

this is his true self, isn't it ?

any niceness he showed you in the past was to keep you in line, and keep you on the back foot

tell him to leave your house...he has no right to try and sabotage your birthday celebrations

who the fuck does he think he is ?

he will only make himself look even more stupud

AnyFucker · 01/02/2011 11:03

happy birthday, btw

don't let this inadequate tosser spoil it for you x

TheLadyEvenstar · 01/02/2011 11:10

AF, I read your words over and over last night after having put them in a note on my mobile Blush not going to stalk you don't worry lol . You helped me stand up to him and tell him how I feel.

When he threatened to ruin my day today i replied

"I don't for one second doubt you would, you have a serious problem with life in general. You don't want a woman who is equal you want someone who will mother you at the same time as you ditating to them what they can and an't do. You want someone who will roll over when told and with me you haven't got that"

I actually felt so much stronger last night.

Thanks for b'day wishes and trust me whether he is here or not i am going to have a wonderful evening with my friends!

Sorry this is happening to you, TLES. :(

I agree with everyone else that he needs to leave now, with the help of police if necssary. Legally he has no more right to be in your home than I do, so do exactly what you would do if some anonymous person over the internet turned up at your home and started shouting at you.

Lulumaam · 01/02/2011 11:34

happy birthday

the best present you can give yourself is dumping him

he spent 5 hours in the early hours of the morning berating you and then threatened to act like a c*nt?

i keep reading something on here, 'when someone shows you their true self, believe them' to paraphrase

he really is a nasty, abusive, selfish cocklodger

Anniegetyourgun · 01/02/2011 12:29

Happy birthday TLES. Today is the first day of your new, better life.

He may get a nasty shock when he tries to offend your friends. For your sake I hope he doesn't try, but they might welcome the chance to tell him a few home truths...

caramelwaffle · 01/02/2011 13:17

Happy Birthday x

AvaBanana · 01/02/2011 13:19

Don't lurch from one relationship to another. You will regret it.

Xales · 01/02/2011 14:35

Any generosity you felt over allowing this low life a month to sort himself out should now be gone.

Get him out today it will be the best birthday present you can!

I did a much longer post but the delete key accidentally ate it!!!

Happy Birthday!!!!!!!

perfumedlife · 01/02/2011 14:43

Happy Birthday TheLadyE Smile

I would brief your birthday guests to act like he is not there, if you cannot get him out.

Welcome to the rest of your life, it gets better than you ever thought possible! x

AnyFucker · 01/02/2011 15:18

thinking of you, tles

TheLadyEvenstar · 01/02/2011 20:03

Everyone has got delayed and I am sitting here in tears.
He just got up after going to bed at 6pm and said "oh yes i see your wonderful friends are having fun with you"

they are on their way but traffic to my road is cack atm.

AnyFucker · 01/02/2011 20:07

dry your tears

it's your birthday

< raises mug of tea for TLES's birthday >

it's early yet, they will be there

don't let him make you feel bad

it is within your power to not let him make you feel bad

TheLadyEvenstar · 01/02/2011 20:08

yes your are right AF

You know what I need to follow the advie I give others so very often and

Pick myself up dust myself off and face the world head on!

AnyFucker · 01/02/2011 20:28

you can do it, you know you can !

have your mates arrived yet ?

bodencustomer · 01/02/2011 20:44

What a HORRIBLE man he is. I really don't know why you are being generous and letting him stay until he finds somewhere else. He is staying in your home and speaks to you like this!

Happy Birthday, it's a good time of year for a fresh start and I hope things get better and better for you.

TheLadyEvenstar · 02/02/2011 11:26

I had a brilliant time last night my friends left around 1am.....I was a tad worse for the wear.

DS1 has asked begged me to let daddy stay, and that is why I have not thrown his sorry arse out.

DS2 is not bothered he is my baby anyway if that makes sense...

Yes he is a total cunt to me but to the boys he is great especially ds1....those who know me will know thats someone I have to give great consideration to.

I have told him that for the childrens sake we will stay as we are for a while - there is no relationship so tbh there will be nothing different.

I am not a nasty person maybe thats why I got taken in by him.
