My husband has taken me for a mug.

Where to start. In highly abusive realtionship, I know it too. Just had my cataylist, ironically to ship out.

Husband works away a lot, courses, hotels, meals out. Just seen a message on his phone. They should go to x place more often as of the "birds" "fit ones".

I'm sat at home weeks on end without even a hello. This is how he is with his "friends" talking about other women.

I just went spare, he hit me, again, I'm done here. I'm leaving him. I just need some kind words to help me through the coming days, please.

Good luck and remember that you can do this, you are strong enough, you don't need him or the shit he puts you through and are worth much, much more.

neuroticmumof3 · 15/05/2011 16:23

Another one here wishing you well and agreeing that you are making the absolute right decision x

FattyAcid · 15/05/2011 17:37

Well done, the future is bright
You are strong and brave, you and your kids do not need this man

eurovisionispants · 15/05/2011 17:48

Thankyou. Yes I'm safe. As predicted he is all so nice and sorry today. I am his world, blah, blah, blah.

I am done with him. I am sorting out everything tomorrow. I have friends/family coming to help me with the kids whilst he is at work.

I'm going to let him think it's all good and drop the bombshell when he's at work. Safer for everyone and I can't have it in my heart to feel sorry for him to be honest.

He's had it coming for a long time. I will be going to the police and getting it all down though, 100% As I can get an order against him so he can't come near me or the kids :)

I sound almost as calculated as him now, but I have had it.

you sound very well informed and as though you are confident enough to make this a sucessfull ending. well done you.

Be prepared for him to play the charm ofensive, you certainly sound strong enough to ignore that. But you will have wobbly moments once you have left so be carefull. when you know you are feeling down or vulnerable just switch off the phone.

good luck tomorrow.

AnyFucker · 15/05/2011 18:00

I am very pleased to read your update. You sound strong and focused. Well done, and please follow your plans through no matter what he says/does.

Good luck x

merrywidow · 15/05/2011 20:30

Good luck

SimpleSingleDad · 15/05/2011 20:55

Excellent work. You do need to be as calculating and ruthless as he is when you're dealing with him.

If you wish to rationalise it, just remember this is his doing, not yours. You are returning to him what he has given you for far too long. He brought this war to you, and now it is time to fight back.

dragonwick · 15/05/2011 21:10

This is new start for you and the DCs, this is about moving on from him and his rubbish. You don't need to have that in your lives any more. I hope you get all the support you need, it's out there. Good luck.

nomorelostweekends · 15/05/2011 22:04

Good luck from me too, keep strong

Jux · 16/05/2011 10:04

Good luck.

Thinking of you today,x

mathanxiety · 16/05/2011 15:21

Hope you're getting everything in place and very glad to hear you have friends and family helping. Don't put off the report to the police.

Don't worry about being 'ruthless' or 'calculating'. Take that wheel and don't let it go.

IslaValargeone · 16/05/2011 15:26
