Confused - really confused but still raw

Hi
Please see original thread here www.mumsnet.com/Talk/relationships/2463347-Left-after-26-years-for-the-woman-at-work

Well, the inevitable has happened. Yep, he's back. Not together as a "couple" but he's left OW and is back under our roof. We are still very close as "friends" - he's a broken man and I just can't see someone I loved for 26 years like this, so our house is big enough for us to share. It's nice he gets to see DD. This is a temporary arrangement. Since my anger died at Christmas, we've actually got on and discovered the "friends" within each other. He's looking at flats to rent. But I'm confused.

Am I thinking that we could be OK after all the sh*t? I don't think I'd ever get over the trust or how he did it - to be honest, as my original post said - we hadn't been happy for years. But could we overcome that??

I actually feel panicky at the thought of him leaving. Sorry for him almost, living in a pokey flat whilst the house goes on the market. I guess it was easier when he left for OW as I was entitled to feel furious. I'm just not a nasty person - some people call me a pushover but most say I've been dignified.

Perhaps I just need to go with it for a while. Its only been 3 days. Sorry - I felt I just needed to get this off my chest. Thanks for reading.

In my opinion cheaters have to make the grand gesture to prove their love was meant to be and justify what they have done to all who they fucked over.

It means jack shit.

Their relationship is shit he was back at yours because they had split up. Just think how many times they are going to do this from now on. Marriage will not change that. What is it they say? you can paint a turd gold but it is still a turd.

Learn from this. Next time this pathetic broken (over another woman) man wants somewhere to stay make it not with you.

Solicitor will help you with everything.

I read your other post and remember him being angry at you...

The time he is using for flat search is actually your time to deal with practicalities...

Be quick and be sharp. Don't allow him to walk all over you.

You really deserve the best. Flowers

What magoria said. He's a shit and you deserve better.

Inexperiencedchick · 18/02/2016 22:14

more than agree Magoria

He's a prize shit isn't he?

You stand tall, hold your head up, keep your dignity. You now know what you're in for if they split up again - and you won't fall for it next time
