Abusive controlling jealous partner is 'being so kind'

[Ormiriathomimus]

just after she told him she wanted to leave. What a fucking surprise!

Friend of ours - works with DH. Was told by her partner she couldn't come to DH's 50th because he didn't want to come so she shouldn't go on her own. She managed to negotiate permission to come and decided whilst here that she's had enough. Went home to her parents. Now back home to talk and he is being so nice, they are having the sort of weekend she always wanted with him.

It isn't going to last is it? How do we help? What can we do, if anything?

That is so bloody unfair!

Oh dear, Orm - there's nothing like hindsight, is there. Ironic indeed.

I read your original thread and you were very dignified. If it had been me, I very much fear I would have been slagging the OW off from start to finish.

So sorry OP - it must have been really painful for you to re-read this old thread.

You sound like a lovely, caring person - hope that your OH realises how lucky he is to get another chance. Best Wishes to you.

"She might have been looking for some affection.

Are you sure the affair is over?"

Yes. I am sure,

And I don't care if she wanted affection, she could have found it somewhere else - preferably with someone unattached. I was prepared to give her support and friendship - as were many of her friends.

No need to feel sorry for DH.

Hi Orm - read your other thread and hope you are ok. But why did you resurrect this thread? All that will happen is that people unfamiliar with your story will post things that will irritate and upset you OR you'll get people from the other thread saying the same stuff that drove you mad. What's your motivation for this?

I wish I hadn't

Just thought it was so ironic I had to share. Daft.
