That's disgraceful! He should be speaking to YOU if he's not happy, not trying to get some sympathy from an old flame! Hope you're gonna kick his arse!

TechLovingDad · 21/06/2011 17:09

Hope you show him how happy he can be alone.

KatieScarlett2833 · 21/06/2011 17:10

No wonder. My unhelpful response to him would be "Fuck off back to her if you're so miserable."

AnyFucker · 21/06/2011 17:11

tell him to be careful what he wishes for

then show him the door

what a twat

essexmumma · 21/06/2011 17:13

You poor lady! You deserve so much more x

HerHissyness · 21/06/2011 17:15

How on earth did you find out about this?

Shameful. How treacherous! Poor you love!

Open door. Toe up his behind. Close (and bolt) door.

stubbornhubby · 21/06/2011 17:15

maybe he's laying a trap to find out whether you are reading his email?
perhaps he's unhappy because he knows you are reading his email?

memoriesindeed · 21/06/2011 17:16

we're always up and down for a variety of reasons and he has done something like this before we married ie complained about me and all my personal details. he doesnt know i know and has changed his password ... kinda stumped im sure more has been exchanged

AnyFucker · 21/06/2011 17:16

Perhaps that is so, SH

my advice remains the same though

TechLovingDad · 21/06/2011 17:17

SH, pretty twisted logic there but even so he's still a twat. He could have sent himself an email saying "I can see you", which she'd have seen.

sungirltan · 21/06/2011 17:25

well he's either bored and horny, in need of an ego boost or needs someone to talk to. i chat to an ex of mine sometimes about my marriage and he chats to me about his relationship - its all very innocent.

which bothers you more - the fact he's talking aobut your reltionship or the fact he's talking to an ex?

KatieScarlett2833 · 21/06/2011 17:28

The fact he's telling the ex he is unhappy tells it all. He is trying to reel her in.

memoriesindeed · 21/06/2011 17:29

no its not a trap its for real, its quite pathetic he had to blurt it out to this person - you can imagine her thought - oh so now you regret finishing with me! so pathetic! i actually relayed a post from here which involved facebook messages to exes and the break up of a marriage and guess what he changed his password. i couldnt really care about her its all about him and the total lack of respect for me. its pretty hardcore

memoriesindeed · 21/06/2011 17:32

sungirltan its the fact he sought her out and then asked her how she was and then straight off about the marriage ugh! so disrespectful IMO - it may be innocent to you but i feel its really inappropriate to discuss your partner with someone you date last and whom you havent had any contact with for years its almost like saying in code wish i hadnt finished with you and i wouldnt have married this one!

OP posts:
sungirltan · 21/06/2011 17:33

oh crikey - fair enough - i would be quite horrified too. i just wondered as i have been in contact with my ex continually since splitting 9 years ago and dh knows - its clearly not like that with you guys!

memoriesindeed · 21/06/2011 17:43

no not the same

OP posts:
KatieScarlett2833 · 21/06/2011 17:51

Memories What are you going to do?

memoriesindeed · 21/06/2011 17:55

dont know

OP posts:
KatieScarlett2833 · 21/06/2011 18:00

Have you talked to him about this?

memoriesindeed · 21/06/2011 18:04

not yet

OP posts:
KatieScarlett2833 · 21/06/2011 18:08

There's your first step. His reaction will be interesting. Anything other than a full disclosure, humble apology and complete, honest, explanation of the reasons behind his betrayal of you and your family is unacceptable.

memoriesindeed · 21/06/2011 18:13

thanks yes i know just disappointed had enough of this type of shite

OP posts:
gomummygo · 21/06/2011 18:22

Unacceptable, incredibly disrespectful to you and your DCs.

SpringchickenGoldBrass · 21/06/2011 18:24

What's wrong in your marriage and do you think there is anything left worth mending? If not, get on with sorting out your rights and legal position WRT separating. If you think that it could be sorted out, then take steps to do that - but please note it's only fixable if he is willing to make an effort, go to Relate, discuss his concerns with you, listen to your concerns etc/ It's not possible to fix a marriage if only one person is trying to make changes.

memories, I hope you're ok. You must feel so let down.
