Has he left the house yet to meet her?
I really hope you are OK.

Thanks for all the support.

You didn't find out what he did this afternoon?

Did you confide in either of your guests?

LiberalLibertines · 07/08/2014 21:21

Blimey Theend how are you keeping a lid on this?!

CafeAuLaitMerci · 07/08/2014 21:27

What are you going to do?

Reese123 · 07/08/2014 21:50

Oh I Am so sorry for you. Don't ever think it is you, it's him - I've spent 10 years thinking I wasn't good enough for my ex - and he wasn't even worth it in the end.

His loss if he doesn't realise what he had. Thinking of you.

kazza446 · 08/08/2014 00:53

Thinking of you op. Hope you are ok. Lots of wise words On here for you x

LiberalLibertines · 08/08/2014 09:50

What are your plans now?

Hobby2014 · 08/08/2014 11:56

This is just awful. Thanks

LiberalLibertines · 08/08/2014 14:16

HaveYou got some support through this?

I honestly think you'd feel better if you got the wanker out of your house/bed.

You must be in a horrible limbo.

We're here for you. X

Tiptops · 08/08/2014 14:27

How horrible. Offering you a hand to hold

lunar1 · 08/08/2014 15:00

Have you said anything to him?

LiberalLibertines · 09/08/2014 15:26

How are you today love? I sincerely hope you've got someone there supporting you, I feel really quite worried for you :(

TheEndOfTheWorldAsIKnowIt · 14/08/2014 12:30

I have confronted him, told him what I know. Apparently it is all my fault because I don't show him any affection.. Nothing happened and it never would and he only sent the messages because he knew I was snooping. Wish I was playing 'the script' bingo.

OP posts:
tipsytrifle · 14/08/2014 12:37

What do you want to do, TheEnd?

It sounds to me like he is an arrogant liar with strong tones of emotional abuse.

butterflybuttons · 14/08/2014 12:55

Typical minimising and blaming you then? Predictable sadly.

What are you going to do now? You deserve much more than what he is offering.

TheEndOfTheWorldAsIKnowIt · 15/08/2014 07:38

What do I want to do? I want to go back and unsee the messages, for none of this to be real, to have a happy family again.
What am I going to do? I really don't know. I can't live with a man who thinks so little of me, I don't want my children thinking this is normal in a relationship. One person feels down, not being shown enough attention so they sex text their ex???
I really don't know what is going to happen.

OP posts:
tipsytrifle · 15/08/2014 13:57

What is going to happen is totally in your hands. You can't un-see or un-know. It's futile to look back so ... look ahead to your options.
You've kind of set the framework when you say:

I can't live with a man who thinks so little of me

Is there any chance he would leave for awhile?
Space to breathe and be angry would be good for you

Squidstirfry · 15/08/2014 18:13

Honestly, blaming you for having to get his rocks off elsewhere, he has made his feelings for you quite clear.

Let him go as that's where he wants to be.
