melminx I'm so sorry to hear this after we 'chatted' last week on my thread and things seemed to be getting so much better for you.

Don't make any rash decisions. Give yourself time to think. Do you want to start another thread, or CAT me, and we'll do everything we can to help?

I know what you're going through and it's truly awful. But stay strong. You will get through this. Whatever you decide.

IOHW how are you doing today?

xx

melminx · 03/04/2007 09:10

Ifonlyhewould · 03/04/2007 09:24

I am so sorry melminx. i think the advice you have had from everyone else is good. Don't do anything rash, just take some time out to think things through. Thinking of you and sending you a huge hug! x

Hi MLS

I am ok. thank you for asking. I'm feeling a bit like i would like to just run away and hide in a corner for a while, just me and my brain! But i will be ok. I know where i'm heading.
How are you? X

I'm glad you're ok. I'd like to run away too though! I'm doing ok. Dh is doing everything he can to reassure me at the moment so I can't ask for any more! (Just yet )

melminx · 03/04/2007 09:28

thanks iohw just cant stop crying want to crawl away

Ifonlyhewould · 03/04/2007 09:30

Bless you i am so pleased things are working out for you, i love to read your posts, they really give me hope, not in the way of my relationship but as a person, you exude so much strength and compassion and through all of this you have maintained such dignity. The world should have more MLS's [smie]

Don't crawl away melminx, we are here for you. We will see you through. You can come out of this the other side and be stronger and happier, hard to believe right now i know but it can be done. It's a case of being honest with yourself about what you want. If you want your husband and your marriage then, it will take great strength on your part, but you can do it.
Has this situation gone any further than texting>

Just wanted to pop in this aft and check how you doing iohw. Can't keep up with all these OP'S am truly at how many women are suffering in similair circumstances. So much so have started an OP to vent my . Keep you will get there. I know it may not seem so but you in a good place in that you have made your decision and as you have said yourself it's onwards and upwards.

Ifonlyhewould · 03/04/2007 13:11

Hi lilyloo

I totally agree re the other threads. So amny women with so much in common! And have you noticed too, that however different our situations are we are experiencing the same feelings.

Thank you for thinking of me. I'm feeling a lot calmer within (that might be the pills ) i feel quite detatched from my situation actually, well from him anyway, which is helping, i don't feel quite as threatened by him now i know i'm making plans for my own future. He suddenly seems like quite an insignificant man.

LilyLoo · 03/04/2007 13:14

Well done you esp on that last sentence, pills or not you are being so very brave . Good idea on the bank account. It must be quite odd in that you have made this life changing decision yet everything on the outside is relatively 'normal'.
