I can't believe I'm writing this. 2 DD's youngest 6 months. Been going on 2 yrs on and off. He loves her. I'm devastated. What am I going to do? He told me at 10pm so I haven't told anyone in RL yet.

Oh my god, I hate him even more if that is possible?? Dolly, you are still totally flipping amazing and I too hope you can get your mum round after he has left for a hug/ moral support. His ears must be burning all day, everyday with all our negative vibes!! I love how you are taking the upper hand and asserting yourself- he must feel so stupid already :)

Thinking of you and hope tonight does not unnerve you too much. You should write a book about how to treat (and beat) adulterous monsters. I'd buy it for sure :)

Big hugs. Go Dolly go!!!! xxxx

I've been following your thread since it began Dolly. You are doing amazingly - such an inspiration. I hope the 'talk' went well.

Ali4001 · 24/10/2012 22:05

Ps he could write a prequel named 'Mid life crises- I'm a walking cliche'.

Followed by 'My ex-wife is the classiest lady in the world and I'm such an idiot I could cry'.

Go Dolly goooooooooooooooooo!!

Xx

Dolly, you're an inspiration. I think we should re-name the relationships board in your honour. Or something

and

I'll tell him he will get over me one day

are my 1 and 2 for today

  1. Lovely dog walk with my dad.

Dolly - I'm anxious for you. I hate him for playing with your emotions.

DaydreamDolly · 24/10/2012 22:31

I'm here! Christ it was pathetic. I stayed strong! No tears! I told him that if I'd had the strength 3 months ago that I had now I would have turfed him out even without knowing he was screwing around. He was in pieces. He says he feels sick. He's going to get a flat on his own. His OW makes him feel worse not better. Diddums Grin.
He's left, tail between his legs. My parting shot? Thank you for setting me free, it's only now I am on the path to true happiness.
Going to bed with a light, not heavy, heart.
Take heart girls, we don't need them we are just brain washed into thinking we do. Men should be a bonus not a need. I don't need a man like that. And one day ill find my bonus. Xxx

Fucking hell you are awesome!

Whooooop woooooooooo!!!! You will be the next First Lady at this rate :) x

ifitsnotanarse · 24/10/2012 22:45

Hi Dolly,
I have just sat and read through the whole thread. Nothing insightful or helpful to add except to say that you are blooming amazing! Can't believe that you have stayed so strong despite your "thick as shite" H being, well, thick as shite. Your DDs are lucky to have such a caring and resilient mum and they will know that as they get older and understand more. Big hugs to you.

MyDonkeysAZombie · 24/10/2012 22:49

Sweet dreams Dolly you rock.

ToothbrushThief · 24/10/2012 22:49

I apologise now

ToothbrushThief · 24/10/2012 22:50

...for doubting your strength in the face of emotional twunt Grin

ToothbrushThief · 24/10/2012 22:52

Blackcurrant -recipe coming!
Dolly - there will be more emotional games. Block him. You don't need it

Be a secure and stable family of you and DC. Don't let twunty histrionics in to destabilise. Your life will be great

He will get over you...when the next thrill comes along

awesome, dude

lalalonglegs · 24/10/2012 22:54

You're awesome, Dolly, a Gloria Gaynor single made flesh. "Thank you for setting me free" - what a line. Did you rehearse it or did it come to you there and then?

ledkr · 24/10/2012 22:54

Hahahahahahaha stick that up your cheating arse you twat. Feels good doesn't it love I'm so happy it's turned out like that for you it gives you back your dignity and now you can start your exciting new chapter.
You will defo find your bonus mine is amazing and loves me for my strength.

If you feel tempted read the threads on here of unhappy ladies who tried to save a marriage after an affair, for me splitting up was far less painful than trying to stay married to a cheat. Massive well done to you x

NotQuintAtAllOhNo · 24/10/2012 22:54

Good going! Smile

lowercase · 24/10/2012 22:57

I'm so happy for you!

What a wonderful life you have unfolding.
