lynnbaxter123 · 19/07/2015 13:20

I'm currently on holiday in Bulgaria with my other half and the 2 kids, we were already arguing before we left the airport and now he's told me we're finished and we haven't seen him for 2 days. I don't know where he's sleeping he won't answer calls or text messages and the kids are heart broke. We've been looking forward to this for so long and now I don't know what to do. I can barely find my way around the hotel complex im useless with that sort of thing. I just want to go home but can't as i ve got another week here yet. Trying to keep the kids happy but I just want to cry. Anyone offer any advice

good luck op Thanks

We were done Camel. We had been for a while anyway really. I went for the kids really and because he begged me to.

LIZS · 19/07/2015 18:41

Tell him to ask for another room . He can take the kids off your hands (make sure you keep their passports) to give you a break but otherwise you shouldn't need to see him.

APlaceOnTheCouch · 19/07/2015 18:46

Well, at least you don't need to worry about where he is. Keep sleeping separately for the rest of the hols and when you get home take him at his word that he wants to leave.

I'm sorry he's been such an arse Flowers

Wideopenspace · 19/07/2015 18:50

I'm glad he's safe OP.

I'm sorry he is such a douche.

Try and enjoy your holiday.

lynnbaxter123 · 19/07/2015 18:52

Thanks everyone its good to get some helping words, I needed to talk but can't speak to my Mum I really don't wanna worry her she's a nervous wreck at the best of times. I'm gonna pretend he's not even here and just do stuff with the kids, can't wait to go home though.

I'm glad he's safe too.

I'm hoping you are in a hotel so at least you don't have to eat with him etc.

Try to salvage the remaining time at the resort and avoid him whenever possible.

There is no going back with the relationship now is there? Your DH pulled out all the stops to create as much possible hurt to you and the children.

NickiFury · 19/07/2015 18:59

There's never any doubt that these selfish mo fo's are going to turn up safe and sound.

Had himself I nice little holiday mini break and now he's ready to pick up the family holiday.

Guarantee it OP. He will be nice as anything now and if you're not careful you'll fall for it so you can have the lovely holiday you want.

HS he got a drink problem?

This sounds like something an alcoholic would do.

Don't play a part in his game.

pictish · 19/07/2015 19:41

So basically, he's going to use the hotel room as his base now and have a great old time to himself doing what he wants, while you continue to facilitate the family holiday your kids have been looking forward to.
That sounds fair.

What a prince among men. Hmm

britneyspearscatsuit · 19/07/2015 20:33

Very sympathetic but I agree with Imperial (and I have actually been abandoned once and he never came back) but now is the time to make yourself proud of yourself.

You're an adult, you're stronger than you think and when someone behaves like this it's the time to say a big "fuck you", stop the tears and show the twat exactly what you're made of.

Don;t just get on with the holiday...make it the best damned holiday you ever had. Enjoy your kids and let them remember how amazing Mum was when Dad disappeared.

We all feel scared when we are used to being looked after by men and husbands but we really don't need them. It just feels that way at first. Your confidence will sky rocket (and it will be a big slap in the face for twat chops) if you show him (and yourself) that you don't need him at all!

Doing that will build your self esteem to the point where you show him that this sort of behavior is pathetic and won't be tolerated, or maybe to the point where you realise you deserve better than sticking with a man who fucks off on holiday.

Hugs op...he's a twat. Normal men don't do this.

britneyspearscatsuit · 19/07/2015 20:34

Sorry for posting before I saw the updates! I was a bit enraged as I have ben there myself.

Turquoisoceans · 19/07/2015 23:15

What a bastard. You'll get through this. Don't forgive him or take him back. Leaving you alone in a foreign country is the shittiest thing to do.

Tequilashotfor1 · 19/07/2015 23:31

He has been on a bender for two days. What a prick

Starlightbright1 · 19/07/2015 23:34

OP..I am a LP and went abroad for the first time with my 8 year old this year... I have a terrible sense of direction.. I put my DS in charge of getting us to one place to another..If we went wrong it was fine no time limits but I didn't feel under pressure to get it right and eventually I found my way.

Yes enjoy your holiday with the kids. Make tomorrow the first day of the rest of your life....

Make this a holiday for you 3 to remember , for the reasons you had a fun bonding time .

knickernicker · 19/07/2015 23:43

'normal men don't do this.'

So true Britneyspears.

GemmeFatale · 20/07/2015 00:17

He can continue with his beach bed then. And when you leave don't pack for him (let the hotel chuck his stuff), and don't be making any effort to reunite him with his passport.

Mrsrochesterscat · 22/07/2015 23:40

How is your holiday going Lynn?

starlight2007 · 23/07/2015 20:50

I have been thinking about you too..Hope you and the kids are having a lovely time. Hope he has an upset tummy and is stuck on the loo for days
