would you still go away with him for a couple of days as planned? He is due to go on a training course today and we can go to the city with him - hotel is all paid for etc and me and the kids have the day time to ourselves but am worried about the atmosphere travelling and at night. He really wants me to go but I am just feeling really miserable and cant see the point. What would you do?

Give him a kiss and make a pledge to enjoy it. The kids will love it.

Not sure I can do - it is something he did in the past which I only found out about at christmas and I was dealing with it really well until last night when something he did brought it all out again and I feel like I am back at square one.

Depends what he did, not everything is really easy to get over no matter how hard you try. Maybe you still need to talk about it?

Go or don't go, but do not beat yourself up about it.

The other issue will have to be dealt with again, but for now the question is do you go or do you not go ?

charmkin · 07/03/2006 08:04

Go
and deal with the other issue when you get back.

KBear · 07/03/2006 08:04

Go, you've got all day without him to mull it over again and hopefully by tonight you will have calmed down again and will be able to have a sensible discussion about it. If you stay home you'll only be stewing anyway and he won't be there to talk to tonight.

Good luck, sounds serious, hopefully you can work it out but it will probably take lots of time and forgiveness.

Couple of days apart may do you both good though? Time to think.........

beetroot · 07/03/2006 09:34

You know you have to deal with things like this and put them behind you.

If you really cannot forgive him then you need to thinkabout living your life without him.

However, we al make mistakes adn if you have chosen to stay you both need to let it go.

And the kids dont need to to stay at home with a miserable mummy instead of having fun n a hotel

Agree with the beet, these things corode so many relationships.

They have to be dealt with and forgotten
