Is there any hope?! Need some perspective.

This is a bit of a non problem, but I am fairly new to mumsnet (have a new DD), but I must admit, I am so saddened by some of the posts of MN. My heart really does go out to some of the ladies on here, who sound lovely and have been treated sooooo badly by their partners.

Yes there are some who sound like they may have 'picked a wrong un' and didn't know how to get out, or realised too late. But many, many of you sound like you really thought you had 'one of the good ones' and have been completely shocked and shattered by the levels of betrayal caused by the DH/DP.

I have just read the mid life crisis thread, and although it made me laugh out loud, it also made me so sad. As I know so many people who have suffered this. My own FIL did this to my MIL (although no other women). My workplace also seems to be filled with 50 year old men in suits who are having vasectomies reverse so they can impregnate their new 25 year old girlfiends, whilst the ExWife is all forgotten, and the ones who aren't, are shagging their secretaries. Its all so clichéd but happening!

Please can some people who have weathered small children, mid life crisis' and other drama's, without their DP/DH cheating on them, leaving them or EA them in some way come and reassure me, its not all inevitable.

Also please reassure me its probably just because I am feeling all vulnerable from having my DD (first time mum). My DH is a lovely man and although not perfect I genuinely think I have got a nice one.

Love, hugs, wine and genuine warm good luck wishes for the future, whatever you choose, to all those having a horrid time at the moment.

Another cheerful poster here who has been through the shitty marriage breakup I never expected and learned a huge amount about life, about myself and about relationships.
I have stayed on this board because I am still recalibrating my Twat radar and to try and give something back in a small way. I am now with a lovely lovely DP who I really think may be the one I grow old with, giggling at the garden centre and having geriatric sex (not at the same time though) Grin

The saying my granny used was "never trouble trouble, till trouble troubles you!"

It's a potential new forum for cheerful folk, where they can go to talk about how fantastic their lives are without irritating those less fortunate (unless they choose to go in there at their peril), AF.

Blimey, SK. It's not just a figment of your imagination then ?

It's a MASSIVE figment. If it existed I think any threads in there would be obscured by tumbleweeds. Ya never know, though.
