well after everything you will have seen so far, and my happiness at dh and i giving our marriage another go, sadly it doesn't look like that is possible anymore.

i've been feeling down the last couple of days and couldn't put my finger on it. thought it was probably a bit of paranoia. the pregnancy scare etc. but looking back dh had also become distant and withdrawn and i think i was picking up on that.

i checked his phone this morning. there was a message in his saved items to the ow. basically said of course i'll get up early to come and take you to work. i'll leave a bit early so we can have a little kiss before we set off...

confronted him. he swore he hadn't been back in touch. then has admitted that after his paranoia that i may have met someone on my work night out last week, he got back in touch with her.
don't really know much more than that and there's no point in asking as i'm not sure i could believe what he tells me anyway.

i had four main reasons for giving things another try. my love for him. the fact that anyone can make a mistake once. the fact that he swore he hated living a double life and would never want to live that way again. and finally, the fact that he said after seeing what he'd put me through, he'd never put me through that again.

just 4 weeks later he has.

to be honest i really don't want to turn this thread into a session to slag dh off. i don't understand his reasons and never will. but i do love him.

i think perhaps it's time to let my head rule my heart and make myself wake up to the fact that he doesn't love me in the same way i love him.

one day he'll realise what he's lost and what he's put me through. and i truly believe that nothing i say or do from this point on will have any impact. it's up to him now.

i've come into work to try and take my mind off it all and calm down. so i'm ok. i'm glad i have MN to get all of this out as this time i do not want one single person in RL to know. i don't want people getting at dh. i don't want people telling me 'i told you so'. i don't really want sympathy.
i'm sick of my life being one big drama after the next. i want to focus on me and ds and i want a happy quiet life filled with love and laughter. if the only way to get that is being alone with ds, then so be it. i'm truly blessed to have him.

so perhaps this thread should be about how i can now move forward without the love of my life and my soul mate....

I have anew freezer and I started reserving places for arrant husbands. Trouble is it's not an industrial sized freezer and the errant husband list is HUGE!! So, the mincer..... would enable us to fit more in!

LilyLoo · 03/05/2007 20:42

don't like coffee
pmsl is it just the feezer Dior
mincer iohw next gadget to make more room in her freezer to get extra rent for her running away / booby fund.

Ifonlyhewould · 03/05/2007 20:42

He has shown definate signs of change, i think as a result of the change in me. I now walk around with a smiling face rather than a miserable one, it seems to be rubbing off on him too. Things are a lot nicer

LilyLoo · 03/05/2007 20:43

Dior she also follows him round the house now grinding the mincer so he has no choice

MLS

I completly understand what you are feeling. I too 'trusted' my h to finish it face to face. I am sorry to say at the time he couldnt do it!! But lied and said he had. It is hard but you MUST stop thinking about him. This is not to be harsh to you but believe me once you start to think only about you it will fall into place. You have to be ready to go it alone, keep your strengh for you. You are stronger now - even if you dont feel it. You are not an idiot to not give up and you are absolutly right to fight for your marriage. I have done it all too.

You and he owe this woman nothting remeber that. She knew he was married before so he really should not have to face her again. God it is so hard. I am a bit further than you are and so far it is working out ok. I have everything crossed for you and hope he really is committed to you 100%. You will know when he is.

Think about you now and if he still wont commit then you must get on with your life and let him find out for himself that he is making the biggest mistake of his life.

You are fantastic and deserve to have a fantastic life.

Thinking of you loads

he is following me around the house at the mooment. he is like a little puppy dog. I think all this withdrawing etc has unnerved him, he is the one seeking reassurance from me now. Is he getting it? NO!! But I am loving being a nice, happy, pleasant person with a new freezer
