DH, his female friend and me feeling crap!

So I've posted about this before, but under a different name.

I'm 33 weeks pregnant, we have one DD (15 months), and I just generally feel crappy, but DH is making it worse.

When we met DH had a female 'friend', I got suspicious when she posted inappopriate comments on his facebook, and he admitted that his friend was 'in love' with him. He also showed me the abusive emails she sent him when she found out about me.

Still not happy about this 'friend' I pursued it, and he admitted that she had seduced him a number of times.... with this knowledge I asked him to not be alone with her anymore, to not go alone to her house or vice versa (it was the beginning of our relationship so we were still building trust, but a woman who wants a man & has succeeded in getting him into bed, is not one that I wanted to contend with). He still saw her at work (DH works from home as a computer engineer, but goes into a charity one day a week - the same day as her).

We married quite soon, and then I was expecting. We heard no more from his friend... until DH went on holiday (alone) when I was 7 months pregnant. He forgot to logout of facebook, and I saw emails to & from her, nothing flirty at all from him, but she was constantly asking for his help - to get a car, to give her a lift somewhere and other things - he didn't help her though (and she'd left work).

After DD was born she started wanting help with her PC, it kept going wrong, although worked fine once here. DH had to take it back to her place. He did bring her round to meet me, and she was pleasant - but still wouldn't have me as a facebbok friend.

It's started again recently, she wants him to fix her laptop/pc/other laptop, and he goes to collect/drop-off. Once I came home from town to find her in our house, alone with him... she criticised my new hairdo & DH didn't say a word... when confronted he claimed to have not heard her.

So last week he goes into work... he's not been for ages & has changed his day... conicidentally she was there & had her daughter's laptop for him to fix Hmm I don't believe that she randomly turned up, on a different day to usual, bringing her daughter's laptop, on the off-chance he'd be there!

Off he's gone just now, and I'm actually in tears. She still owes him money from fixing hers, yet he made my son pay to be fixed, so I'm bloody fuming that he's had a look at her daughter's!!!!

I'm worried that when I go into hospital to have this baby (and will probably be caesarean), that she will need something 'fixing', and will turn up at our house, or DH will take our DD to hers - and I don't want her near my baby girl without me present.

To make it worse I slept on the sofa last night, as our sex life is dire, and I want more (being selfish I guess, but without sex I don't get why we should stay together), and can hardly walk today as my back & hips are killing me.

I guess he'll speak to her today, confide in her, and I guess it'll be my fault for pushing them together, yet DH wouldn't be happy if it was the other way round.

If you read all this, thank you xx

oh dear. he isnt being very nice is he?
you ar pregnant ergo you carry extra weight right now!

children sick up and ruin carpets.

birth scenario - difficult one - depends on time fo day etc.
dont rule out your career friends - one could do overnight shift, then nursery in day does she go to nursery??? neighbours?

you dont have many options tho . this is jsut one night/day (hopefully) so go forlsit of people from worst option to best. not sure why the freegle couple should be ruled out for compatibility reasons - you gonna have to deal with that really...

Thanks cestlavielife.

The freegle couple are ruled out as they are strangers, and I just don't like them.

The first (and only) time I ever really spoke to them, was when DD was a newborn. It was hot, yet they wanted us to sit outside, which I refused, as DD was literally a week old.

The woman then asked if she could cuddle DD, I gave her to her, then when DD started screaming for me, the woman refused to giver her back, saying I needed to "teach her she can't get her own way", I got more & more distressed & looked to DH to back me up, but he admitted that even he felt intimidated by the woman.

She criticised how I was breastfeeding DD, saying I shouldn't do it on demand, and I should also be expressing, as it was bad for her to be attached to me - and bloody DH supported her on this, saying that she was entitled to her opinion, and I shouldn't disregard her advice out of hand!!!! I mean FFS! This is a woman who never breastfed any of her kids, yet DD was the second one I'd breastfed, and I frankly wouldn't want to befriend anyone who gave advice on something they know nothing about - and even worse if DH listened to them...I did expect him to fully support me!

They then sent a christmas card & put on to MR littlepiglet & (DD's name), then wrote on the other page - "sorry can't remember the wife's name".

I told DH I took offence at this - it would be better to have written it to Mr littlepiglet & family, but he yet again defended them.

They still never get my name right - and I don't want them to look after DD. If he can trust them - why not my son???

The other thing is they have two young DDs. The woman also has 5 older children, who were taken off her due to neglect...

I would not let him dictate to you on this subject. Either your son does it or he does it and you dont have him at the hospital with you.

You say that you have not left yet but reading your threads you show no inclination of doing so. You can see he is completely taking the piss out of you yet you throw yourself at him sexually. Why do that?

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 12/10/2011 13:36

Apart from impregnating you, what has this man actually brought to your life?

You've had so much advice on here and it all points to the same thing; what is it that you want people to say?

pink4ever · 12/10/2011 13:41
Hmm
Redbluegreen · 12/10/2011 13:44

I get such a huge urge when reading your posts to come to you and sort out your life for you, find you accommodation with your children, tell the prick you live with where to shove his opinions, and tell you that you and your children are important and worth so much more than this. It feels like you just need some strength and support from somewhere to make any changes in your life. Please try to seek the help you need in order to move forward in your life without this man, and make you and your children's lives happy from here on in. If there's anything that we can do on here, please tell us.

CheeseandPickledOnion · 12/10/2011 15:42

Sorry, but I think your husband is cheating on you. He goes on holiday 'alone'? Please....

AnyPhantomFucker · 12/10/2011 16:33

I have to call it, sorry

Nobody is this dense
