Divorce papers served - have I done the right thing?

1000 replies

Wisedupwoman · 18/04/2011 17:46

Had to name change again to be on safe side.
Been posting on other thread - hope followers recognise this.

H gone five weeks ago after second affair in 4 years was discovered by me but not before he gave many, many clues and slip-shod attempts to keep it 'secret' from me. H wanted out and would have known my reaction to finding out hence i think he took this way to force my hand. Heartbroken as long, long relationship with both adult and teenage DC's involved.

Today the divorce papers went to court to be served. The therapist I'm seeing commented that this has been quite quick. This has set up train of thought which goes 'was this my fault, am I assuming too much here about what H really wants, is he such a monster........'

Need ongoing support about this please......

Well, that's one way to get two Saturday monings :) Shame about the headache though. Hopefully you'll sleep better tonight with this decision made!

And you will never hear from me that I have asked him to, or taken him back. It's over Phew!! Grin

Not more exciting for me no.... and I'm not even out for dinner tonight!

Housework, decorating, trying to finalise plans for trip, paperwork... oh the excitement...

sugar the stinky dog thing is awful. One of ours is very fond of fox poo... and nothing seems to shift the smell.

Alldownhillnow · 07/05/2011 11:25

Wanker. Another email to your Sol. Call the electricity company on Monday and make sure they know it's HIM that owes them the money. Whose name was on the bill?

Just have to close down the lappy and re-start... it's on a go slow... but will be back in a bit (with lunch! yum)....

You, my friend, can have a whole toastie :) or two like me if you are a fellow piglet

Wisedupwoman · 07/05/2011 14:19

It was his name on the bill and the account online still shows as his name. don't know where that leaves me legally.

So we can see, can we not, that his claim to "still feel soft and tender toward you Wisey" was contingent upon my continuing to behave like the compliant but abandoned wifey.

still thinking of phoning his parents.

someone tell me it's a bad, bad idea or i might just do it!

OP posts:
Wisedupwoman · 07/05/2011 14:19

Yes, oh yes, yes, yes!!!!!!!!!!

OP posts:
Wisedupwoman · 07/05/2011 14:20
