Background: been with dp 3.5 years, have dd1 from previous relationship and dd2 (6mo) with dp. I have very low self esteem. I actually hate myself most days I've been to hell and back in my life and fully believe that I deserve all the bad stuff that happens to me. I've recognised this now and I am (or I thought I was) taking steps towards changing my thinking and getting confidence.

Dp has cheated about 8 times now. I always always take him back and blame myself for it happening. I should lose weight, stop nagging, stop asking him to contribute towards household etc etc. Please don't flame me for having a child with this man etc I am fully aware how stupid I have been. If you felt I do every day you might understand the reasons I had for holding on to him so long.

I had an feeling something was up. Sex has been awful recently he just isn't interested and can never finish if we get going. I put it down to my appearance but that's never really been an issue before when it comes to sex at least.

He was in the shower earlier so I grabbed his phone to find a whole load of messages on WhatsApp to and from several women. He is begging, and I mean begging, them to meet him. I have no idea who they are or where he has met them but he has met at least one of them, most recently last night when he told me he was at work. He has been taking my car to meet them and have sex with them in. I feel sick.

I feel so low, useless and heartbroken but to be honest I did expect it. I am strangely calm and managed to say absolutely nothing to him. I'm not talking to him anyway because he called me a fat cow at 3am when I got back into bed after feeding dd2. Apparently the whole bed moves when I get in and I woke him up. Blush

He's away out now to the pub and I won't see him until tomorrow because it will be early hours before he gets back, if he gets back at all. He has taken the car keys so I can't go anywhere.

I know he will minimise and deny as always. I have the proof I need.

The house is solely in my name and he pays absolutely nothing at all towards rent, council tax or bills.

I want to pack all his stuff up and dump it in the garden but I have no idea what's stopping me. It's just baby Dd I have here tonight my older one is at her grans.

I'm crying and feel like a total fool. I need him gone for good. He is not helping me at all. I haven't got a single Christmas present yet for dds because I am totally skint. Had to pay car tax, insurance, new washing machine, rent, bills etc and it's left me with nothing. He has been out nearly every night this month and has wads of cash in his wallet and in his bank. He works full time and I am on maternity leave with very little tax credits. I have some money coming on Monday so I should be able to get dds some presents then.

He is the most selfish human being I have ever met. He doesn't care for any of us its just somewhere for him to live, yet I am still struggling to end it and throw him out for good. I wish I knew why. Maybe it's the hope that he will change and I'll have a happy relationship. I'm on my own nearly all the time anyway so it's not that.

You don't need him. You're doing it all without him.

You don't need to be made to feel like shit- 8 times??? A fat cow???? He can fuck right off.

We're all here holding your hands. You'll get great advice here.

mammadiggingdeep · 20/12/2013 20:55

SweetSeraphim · 20/12/2013 21:07

This is AMAZING Grin

You brave, clever woman. I can 'hear' the strength and positivity in you, you should be so proud of yourself.

MmeCinqAnneauxDor · 20/12/2013 21:14

Gosh, he is unbelievable.

Good for you for making the decision to leave.

CustardoPaidforIDSsYFronts · 20/12/2013 21:20

missmash · 20/12/2013 21:21

Wow, what a fantastic turn around!! You are fabulous, please stay this strong and come back if you need more advice.
I hope you have a fabulous Xmas and the start of what I'm sure is going to be a very special new year GrinGrin

SirRaymondClench · 20/12/2013 21:31

I'm in awe of your 30Seconds

This is going to be such a fantastic Christmas for you and your DC now.
Stay strong!
Yeah there will be tough times now and then but you are free of all the constant stressing about what that fucker is doing/who he is with/why is he being like this...etc.
2014 is all about you and your gorgeous DC and all three of you deserve so much more than he could ever offer!

Reclaim your life and enjoy. X

50shadesofmeh · 20/12/2013 21:43

Just wanted to say well done , you are amazing and you need to protect those girls of yours from seeing their mother getting treated like that.
I bet your self esteem rockets from now on . Much love to you .

Ruprekt · 20/12/2013 22:03

Wow! You are amazing!! ThanksThanksThanksThanks

Joysmum · 20/12/2013 22:17

Bravo. So glad you got rid.

Ilovemydogandmydoglovesme · 20/12/2013 22:24

I never post here either but 30SecondsToVenus you are an inspiration. This is the start of the rest of your life. Flowers

Just remember, no one ever comes back on here and says they regret it. They always come back and say getting rid of him was the best thing they ever did. Remember that.

I hope you and your dc's have a lovely Christmas. Xmas Smile

ChippingInLovesChristmasLights · 20/12/2013 22:26

Well done!! I'm glad your Mum is being lovely and supportive.

I don't know what happened in your past - but whatever it is, you don't deserve it and you do deserve much much much more than this prick.

Please, stay strong and do NOT take him back this time. No matter what he says nothing will ever change :(

ChippingInLovesChristmasLights · 20/12/2013 22:28

Is there any chance he will turn up at your Mum's? I would consider calling the local police and saying you are worried what he might do later on... they might put your number on their 'quick alert' thing.

What will shock him if he breaks into the house??

ThreeWisePerpendicularVinces · 20/12/2013 22:34

Good for you Venus, I read your post and was shocked at how he's treated you.

I'm pleased you've taken this brave step, you'll have a far happier life without him x

30SecondsToVenus · 20/12/2013 22:43

Thanks for the messages I am feeling really positive tonight. I feel a sense of relief now that I've actually done it.

My mum lives 30 miles away and there is no chance he would turn up. It's far too much effort and he's scared of my dad who is 6'4 and about 20 stone. He's massive but the kindest man you would ever meet.

I think it's helping that I'm here instead of at home just wallowing and waiting for him to come home. It's so nice just seeing my sister and we are watching text Santa having a cry. It's helping

Dd2 is sound asleep and dd1 is at my grans. I'll get her tomorrow and she will be over the moon to be at nanny's house she loves it here

It's taken me a while to get rid. I can't wait to start my life again I'm only 25 so I can enjoy the rest of my adult years instead of being miserable all the time

So glad you are feeling upbeat and supported.
Have a great time with your Dc's and lovely family 30seconds.
Next year will be the start of your new life without the twat draining you emotionally and financially

cafesociety · 20/12/2013 22:59

So glad you have been so proactive and positive. You should not have had to live like that, he sounds obnoxious.
I hope your DD's are going to have a lovely Christmas, it sounds like they are well loved and that you have support. Well done you!

Loggins · 20/12/2013 23:06

Well done!
When you turn your phone on tomorrow and no doubt receive a ton of texts come back here instead of answering them

marimeifod · 20/12/2013 23:06

Well done Venus, you and your kids' lives start here, go you!!!

takeitonthegin · 20/12/2013 23:07

Here's to a cracking Christmas and a brilliant 2014. Grin

Lullabyte · 20/12/2013 23:12

Congratulations for taking control of your life! You are obviously a great mum and doing your daughters proud to show them a positive example. (And yay to your parents for being so happy for you and supportive of you, too!)
