HUSBAND LEFT AFTER AN AFFAIR III - AM MOVING ON WITHOUT HIM

859 replies

solost · 10/02/2011 21:56

My husband left me in mid-August when I found out he was having an affair. My original thread (husband had an affair and I want him back) detailed the fact that I felt he had made a mistake and asked for advice on how to get him to see sense and come back to me and our 3 DCs. Four months on, he still hasn't returned and I am re-buildling my life without him. That thread is now full. This is the continuation. Thanks to all of you for your support.

Don't squeeze Pete too hard Solo, he's so baby-oiled up, he'll slip through your grasp and end up with a head injury when he hits the ceiling...

That creosote'd stain your sheets like mad too...

WhenwillIfeelnormal · 18/02/2011 13:10

Didn't want to spoil the love-in last night and appear on the thread, as a humourless Mrs. Stern... Wink

However, I wanted to reiterate that I never did advise that you asked questions of your H about the affair Solost. In fact, when you once suggested it, I recall that I recoiled in horror at the very suggestion. What I actually wanted you to do was to have some understanding of the affair yourself, because I do think that's important to your recovery and also for any future relationships. It was why I gave you an alternative affair script, that placed the responsibility firmly on to him and not you or the OW.

That said, when you didn't follow that advice, I wanted to say that I understood why you felt you had to ask him. I don't think that approach was helpful to you though, because unfortunately I think it set you back into believing his script, which as you know, I think is a pack of lies.

My strongest advice is that you never ask him for details about the affair again, because he will lie and you will believe him. Plus, it is much better that he thinks you don't care any longer.

I do think you need to rewrite your script though, because it still casts him as an honourable man with scruples. That won't help with your detachment.

I do hope you think about seeing him less and for his contact arrangements with the DCs to be separate and away from the house. Regarding the DCs questions about the change of venue, it is perfectly normal for the non-resident parent to see children on neutral territory.

Your situation is the abnormal one and is I suspect, causing confusion for the DCs, especially when they see him continuing to treat the house as his home. I think this adds to their belief that he might come back home, but like I said before, I wouldn't assume that this would be what they all wanted at all and they won't necessarily all feel the same. It's just as possible that one or more of them is worrying that he might come back. And that's as damaging as false hope.

It sounds as though you are doing well this week though, with the detachment.

plupervert · 18/02/2011 13:41

Poor WWIFN, you sounded quite down about being a party-pooper! Unjustifiably so.

StarExpat · 18/02/2011 14:42

I agree with wwifn. And I was a party popper last night Grin
Good to see solost having fun, though!

solost · 18/02/2011 17:08

Hi everyone,

will reply to your posts later tonight,just need your advice on something.

H has rang, told me he has got some presents for the girls. When he told me what they were I knew that they were freebies bb had picked up from a conference or exhibition. I asked him if they were from her and he admitted they were.

My reaction was to tell him to tell her to stick em where the sun don't shine! But what do I do?

Should have posted on 'am I being unreasonable'!

Am I?

Would like your thoughts please.

Tell him to shove the pressies where the sun don't shine,Grin
it's bad enough that they are from BB but they were freebies that she would be able-in future-to say that your DC's have accepted gifts from her.

I am disliking youe ex more and more each day

Anniegetyourgun · 18/02/2011 17:19

I think I would say to him coolly "I don't think that's really appropriate".

You have to admire her pragmatism, bribing the DCs without wasting any money (or maybe you don't).

plupervert · 18/02/2011 17:21

Now that you have identified what they are, surely he should be too ashamed to give them to the girls?!

What did you actually say to him? To be honest, if you missed the chance to say no then, I think you've missed your chance. You are removing yourself when he arrives, so you won't have a chance to head him off if he does bring them.

Disapproving "hmmmm" is a brilliant reaction to train into yourself, as it allows you to "reiterate" later what you wish you had said at the time!

horsesandchickens · 18/02/2011 17:21

Agree, tell him inappropriate and slightly creepy given she will never meet them.

Obviously he's not relayed the info to BB that he she's not marriage material!!!!

Tell him to think long hard and if he still thinks it appropriate for his mistress to pass on free gifts to your children then you can have a further discussion about it.

Tosser. Honestly! how completely vile.
