Husband won't go

46 replies

Anon32000 · 27/10/2016 15:51

Please any advice is so much appreciated. My husband had been out on his usual Sunday and come home late and fell alsleep downstairs. When i got up he went upto bed but left his phone down the side of the chair he fell asleep on so my younger son found it and give it to me. On the front of his phone was the notifications with a snap chap to girl and a whatsapp message to the same girl (which he had changed her name to a boys name in his phone) saying what sexuall thing he wanted to do to her. It only showed so much of the message on the lock screen and i couldn't unlock his phone to read the rest due to his password. I went and confront him and he just told me to f off and stop being paranoid. This young girl works at the club he somtimes works at (he is a doorman). He has since said that she is always stalking and messaging him and wont leave him alone even though he as told her he is married, which is a total lie as for 1 he sent that message i had seen and that didn't look like anything with telling a girl he had a wife! And for 2 he has coincidentally deleted all the mesages he ever sent or recieved from her to prove he tells her to get lost. It is not the first time i have seen messages to other girls but he always has excusses like his mate uses his phone. I don't believe a word that comes out of his mouth no more. I have asked him to leave and he is just being a dick about it and keeps saying he is going know where and how am i going to make him. There has been problems in our marraige over the last few years (been together 12 years) we have 4 children 1 child ADHD and 2nd child who has just recently been diagnosed wit Autism, and he does not bother with them at all. He is always out and when he is home he goes straight upstairs and stays in bed watching telly while i run around after him and the kids. Ive had enought i really dont no what to do, feel like am about to have the biggested brakedown ever and its our babies 2nd birthday in 2 weeks and ment to be having a big party for her. I don't have knowone to really talk to, lost all my friends when i got married and had my kids, he has loads of friends and playing the poor husband. And to top the lot off this all happened on my birthday. Is there anything i can do to get him to leave. I am exhausted not been to bed since Sunday as i cant stand being anywhere near him

Please see this through for your sake and your children's. What will they learn about love and relationships from his example. Stay strong, be brave and good luck.

BastardGoDarkly · 27/10/2016 17:23

He does think you'll do nothing.

What if you said, I'm filing for divorce, I can't live like this, if you won't go, I'll have to leave the kids here and go to my dad's? Bet he'd be gone in a flash.

Anon32000 · 27/10/2016 17:46

Haha as much as that would piss him off he would play on it like poor him, wife leaves him with the kids for nothing

Yes this is true, we have fell out a few years ago from a similar thing and after a week or so things just slowly started to get back to normal. I know this time it is defiantly not going to happen, this has pushed me over edge and i will never believe him and my kids deserve do much better

No he defently wouldn't step up. He enjoys being in the pub and with his mates to much. When ive been to parents evening and stuff he asks my older daughter to come down to watch the 1 year old. He wouldn't even know what time school starts.

You can also get help here www.nationaldomesticviolencehelpline.org.uk/ Domestic violence is not just being beaten up it's the mental stress he is putting you through it's called coercive control and it's horrible
Please message me if you want to talk privately to someone who has gone through this too. Sending you hugs xxxFlowers

I also think you should get this moved to relationships, I've seen fantastic advice given, there will definitely be others that can help you with the ins and outs.

You just have to report this thread and asked for it to be moved.

I am sorry I have no experience with this sort of thing personally, just what I read on here. This situation sounds awful, and you want out, that's understandable. Really hope you get the answers and help you need.

Good Luck.

Badbadtromance · 27/10/2016 18:36

Op move this to relationships. Some great posters there

Anon32000 · 27/10/2016 18:45

Thank you everyone. Will try and do it now.

Thank you #missCherryCakeyBun. Sorry you have experienced somthing similar

OP if you report your post a message will pop up and you can ask it to be moved to relationships.

There are MN's who follow that thread and have a wealth of practical advice.

In the meantime I'd definitely contact Citizens Advice and see what they say re: housing.

Also Women's Aid - be aware you might need to call a few times to get through as they can be very busy.

As per your DH - it's time to "down tools". Stop enabling his life. Stop cooking, washing etc etc. Get a bolt on the bedroom door and lock it when you go to bed - he can sleep on the sofa. Just ignore him - let's face it he's been ignoring you and the kids for years.
