OK so H and I have had issues a few months ago, we worked things out but now this text has left me anxious, I can't talk to him on the phone today and he's back very late from work. Please help decipher WFT he means!! It all came after a text where he's super proud of an event at our child's school this morning.

''I want to tell you that I love you very much. But now I see you with other eyes I want you to know that I will never never hurt but I do not feel anything for you other than the love and affection that we have shared many years, I do not see you with desire. Better you know these things. At the same time I can not imagine my life without our child and without you, you are the only ones I have.''

WTF it seems lovey dovey and then boom. I know obviously we need to talk about this but I just want someone elses perspective on this. Don't really want to talk to friends being that a few months ago we went through a bad patch.

What a load of flowery crap. He's got someone else and doesn't want you to rock the boat. He WILL shag you too if you allow him to, just to keep you dangling and keep you sweet so you don't give any hassle re him going backwards and forwards

Fine then - according to him he doesn't desire you. So, he's not your man hence you need to be sorting out house/finances/child contact arrangements

He is very clearly ending things with you. So let it be a clean break, no handing around you and no waffly bullshit text messages.. No using your child to also be around you too

He's cruel to sit there and write all that. & it makes for a cringeworthy read too, someone's making him feel really full of himself

Sorry OP Flowers its a shitty thing to happen but you have to go onwards and upwards from now on.

I'm so tired of trying to keep all the balls in the air
Make it easier.
Drop both his balls, preferably from a great height.

The man sounds like a complete waste of space, but he might have a future ahead of him - writing turgid pap for Mills and Boon

I'm sorry you've received a text like this, absolutely disgusting but still must hurt. He sounds like one needy mofo to me, good luck to the OW cos she is going to need it!!! You on the other hand just got a lucky escape!

BlessYourCottonSocks · 10/06/2017 01:35

you can not imagine your life without our child and without me in it?? Oh I can...quite clearly. Don't bother coming home. I don't feel anything for you either any longer. You'll be hearing from my solicitor.

That's the text I'd be sending.

And you're the main breadwinner? omg - GET HIM OUT!

Ermnothanks · 10/06/2017 02:43

Oh god op. You know what to do.

Easier said than done I know, but you deserve better.

GabsAlot · 10/06/2017 10:34

is the house in your name only?

if it is leave his bags outside-waste of space- and move all your mony somewhre he cant get to

MrsAJ27 · 10/06/2017 10:49

What a cowardly thing to do, real men do not cat like that!

How are you doing op?

FluffyWhiteTowels · 10/06/2017 11:23

Do you think he really ended it with OW a few months ago ? Or has been getting his ducks lined up and is now starting the final act of the play?

The script starts ...

Just remember OP nothing is your fault. You haven't destroyed the family unit he has. Don't let him torment you. You are the strong one who has tried so very hard and had everything thrown in your face and been treated like shit

Response:
Dear Lord, I have my self respect
I learned that before spelling!
You love me, yet you love me not?
Is this a rat I'm smelling?
I hope she wears L'Air de Temps
Whilst working hard all day
Then rubs your feet whilst cooking
Mary Berry's best soufflé
Then after cleaning pots and pans
Whilst you watch sport on Telly
She shakes out her hair, and turns up bare
Except for saucy wellies.

Hope she is everything you ever dreamed of. Except me, of course.
Off you pop love. I'm too busy for your buttmunchery.
