Dh and school mum friend

justalittlelemondrizzle · 04/08/2016 13:11

The dc's have a friend from school who's mum we both get on with although DH knows her better than me as he does more school runs and he is usually the one to organise things with the dcs. The dcs see eachother alot out of school. Anyway so far this summer DH has said we don't have the money to go on a day out. I've suggested a theme park, cinema, adventure farm etc. Dc's friends mum has just said she's going on an expensive day out with her dc and suddenly dh has told our dc were going with them. Up until this point he has been adamant we cannot afford it and we will only be having free days out. He's stopped me in my tracks whenever I have mentioned anywhere.
In the past the dc's have had disagreements and he's always quick to defend the other child without even knowing what happened and making excuses because he gets on so well with mum.
It comes across as though I am a paranoid person but I couldn't be less so. Dh works mainly with women. They go for drinks after work, nights out etc and I've never been bothered.
I've mentioned to him that he needs to take a few minutes to think about the fact that last week we couldn't afford to go and now suddenly we miraculously can because they're going. He got defensive and refused to entertain what I said.
Am I being stupid to think hes a little infatuated?

It's not happened yet and I've told him in no uncertain terms that we will just be going as a family now as he lied to me so she could take them out somewhere he knew I was planning to take them. There's another thread about it 😕

What??
Sorry op-I think they are behaving, at best, like nasty bastards.

justalittlelemondrizzle · 08/08/2016 13:24

I know. I'm livid! He is avoiding me today. I haven't spoke to him and he hasn't spoke to me. I've stayed upstairs computer depressed. He just doesn't care not about me anyway.

I've seen your other thread.wtf is he playing at?
Think you need to get some answers from him, he's behaving appallingly.

Sorry to hear that OP.Flowers

Cagliostro · 08/08/2016 13:37

Oh no :(

Amythest001 · 08/08/2016 13:41

I read the other thread I didn't realise it was you on both.
I'm sorry he is making you feel this way Flowers

Keepingupwiththejonesys · 08/08/2016 13:44

How do I find the other thread? Hard to know what's happened and don't want to give advice/feedback without knowing the situation

CalmItKermitt · 08/08/2016 13:47

Taking you on the trip - hiding in plain sight.

I've known of similar. A friend of a friend (K) who was "good friends" with a guy (E) who was also a friend of K's husband (I).

Turned out K and E had been shagging for a couple of years. Practically under her DHs nose. Like they got some sort of thrill from the secrecy and having to act "normally" when the 3 of them were together.

I saw the other thread and wondered if it was you. I just wonder why he's so determined to have his children around this woman. I'd think the last thing one would want to do would be to have one's children around one's paramour.

justalittlelemondrizzle · 08/08/2016 14:05

I thought it was best to start another thread to get a response to what happened yesterday. H said was being unreasonable, I knew I wasnt but I wasn't brave enough to post in AIBU.

The dc's are his way in I suspect.

Sad It's horrible you have to watch him like a hawk as if he were a running toddler because you can't talk to him, worse, you can't trust what he says.

When I read your OP, I was going to suggest maybe he had a crush, but his behaviour + he's cheated before - you know it's bollocks they 'watched a film' otherwise he wouldn't have lied, and lied, and lied about where he was -

Did you end up going as a family? Is that why he's sulking and ignoring you?

LoisEinhorn · 08/08/2016 18:20

Where is your new thread?

kennypppppppp · 08/08/2016 19:01

the ex husband i was married to was like this with a single ex-friend of mine. used to make me vomit with embarrassment how he was suddenly a stand up comedian/raconteur whenever he saw her. he was an arse and she was an arse. and i was on it like a car bonnet. i don't think anything happened but they were both acting like complete dickheads, which is not particularly similar to what you're going through but men can be arses and single wimmin can be vile. (even though i am a single woman now i would NEVER act like that. there's a big fat line at the woman from school you know is totally crossing it)

EweAreHere · 08/08/2016 22:28

Is there a link to the new thread?

DontDeadOpenInside · 08/08/2016 22:33

I cant see it either

sherea · 08/08/2016 22:58

AcrossthePond55 · 08/08/2016 23:13

The dc's are his way in I suspect.

Then it rather makes me wonder how interested she actually is in him. I'd think if she was interested he wouldn't need a 'way in' iyswim.

AcrossthePond55 · 08/08/2016 23:15

And it would seriously piss me off to think that my children were being uses as 'bait' to have an affair!!!

AcrossthePond55 · 08/08/2016 23:15

*used.

Amythest001 · 09/08/2016 08:47
