My life just fell apart.

DH and I have been married 11 years, together 16, 2 dc. We have had a tough couple of years. I had PND and he coped by more or less opting out of the marriage.

Bit by bit I improved and really tried hard to get things back on track an I thought we were getting somewhere.

Out of the blue today a letter came from electricity company about connecting another property. It was addressed to him but as the electricity is in his name I often open these sort of letters with no problem.

I think he has rented a place and is moving out. He has never given any reason for me to think this was coming.

I looked through some things in his office - it also seems he had a vasectomy over a year ago without telling me.

I am home with ill dc today, he is at work. My head is spinning, I feel weak. I rang him (self employed he could come home) but no reply.

What do I do?

Oh you poor thing, hopefully he can give you a reasonable explanation for it (((hugs))) v un mumsnetty but I feel you need them

curiousgeorgie · 02/04/2014 18:59

Hope you're okay OP.

The vasectomy aside, I hope there's an innocent explanation Thanks

LeBearPolar · 02/04/2014 19:04

Hope you're okay - and as curiousgeorgie says, that there's an innocent explanation.

AliceDoesntLiveHereAnymore · 02/04/2014 19:11

Hope you're okay, OP. I could possibly see some innocent explanation for the other property (although it stretches the imagination to the limit to come up with ideas for it), but not for the vasectomy. That's a huge issue.

AnyFucker · 02/04/2014 19:15

It's less likely to be innocent when he has already done a disappearing act. He knows the game is up.

TeenageMutantNinjaTurtle · 02/04/2014 19:17

Thinking of you OP. Hope there is a rational explanation...

Onesieone · 02/04/2014 19:21

He is home now. Putting kids to bed.

Can't face the thoughts of what's to come.

Hand to hold a plenty of ears to listen to you here later. The main thing is concentrate on what his nibs tells you. Listen lots, speak little.

verytellytubby · 02/04/2014 20:29

Wishing you lots of strength.

ListWriter · 02/04/2014 20:32

Handholding!

lovemenot · 02/04/2014 20:34

Handholding too x

Whatever happens or is said you are one step closer to being on the other side.

If he wants out then as hard as it may be I would let him go.

I read something about men being like elastic bands and if you just let them go they will come back. And if you don't let them go then you just make them pull and strain even stronger.

You are going to be fine. Most definitely with a big and loving family to help you through whatever it is that is happening.

Good luck.

LEMmingaround · 02/04/2014 20:43

Bless you. I really hope its all a misunderstanding but it doesn't look great with the disappearance

cozietoesie · 02/04/2014 20:43

Whatever happens, wish, it won't be worse than things you might have been imagining. More immediate, of course - and your family and friends will help you if there's anything to deal with.

There will be people here round the clock as well if you need to talk or yell.

phoebeflangey · 02/04/2014 20:53

Handholding Op, good luck Thanks

Hoping for a work-related explanation, and for the vasectomy to have been him looking into it and not going through with it.
