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 but looking back dh had also become distant and withdrawn and i think i was picking up on that.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....

Well, I'm going to post a picture of when I was slimmer! Not having you see me as I am now...

So, see my pic and imagine a slightly bigger face and a lot bigger body!

Paddlechick666 · 07/05/2007 20:38

i've emailed you MrsDKR - hope you can fix it but can't offer any advice on how i'm 'fraid.

why has dd just taken 1hr 20mins to get to sleep? she undressed herself 4 times. i left her to it 3 times.

she's chatted a bit but no tears at all - normally cries blue murder if i leave before she's asleep.

just smiled sweetly and gave me a hug whenever i went back in.

just had to dress her again and pick her up and rock her till she started to droop and then she finally went to sleep!

very strange behaviour - and i don't like out of the ordinary when it comes to kids! it worries me!

MrsDiorKeanuReeves · 07/05/2007 20:55

Well, I have amazed myself. Couldn't get a photo on and I did some research which allowed me to do it! Way hay!

We are a bunch of stunners

LilyLoo · 07/05/2007 22:01

omg can't believe how normal we all look
It's so weird seeing faces to names isn't it.
What georgeous dc's and women come to that! hope Birmingham can handle it

Paddlechick666 · 07/05/2007 22:08

i've added a pic from my wedding day. deffo was heavier then but it's the most glam i've got!

at least dh stress = weight-loss, there has to be some pay off huh...

actually, wasn't a good idea to look at the wedding pics again.

Paddlechick666 · 07/05/2007 22:09

Birmingham's not gonna know what's hit it!

MrsDiorKeanuReeves · 07/05/2007 22:12

Can I just say MLS that I'm not surprised that your dh's OW backed off when she saw you. You are bee-yew-tiful girl!

Hi all, loving the MSN thingy! As I'm on my mum's computer I don't have any pics to add yet, but will get busy with the memory stick later as I do have my laptop here. You all look so lovely!!! And beautiful children too, awww!!

Hope everyone's okay.

Hello all

What lovely photos - you and your dc's are all gorgeous! (Not as lovely as my ds of course!!)

Agree that it's soooo lovely to realise that we're talking to real people and put faces to the names. Bit scared now of meeting you all after revealing every sordid detail of the past 6 months!!

Things are going well here. The tables have turned so much and after me being the only one putting any effort into our relationship for the past 6 months, it now seems like 100% of the effort is coming from dh and I'm walking round in a daze!

But I won't apologise for that - time for me to look after myself and let him prove that he can be the husband I think he can. I feel as positive as anyone could feel after everything that's happened. So that's good!

osj - in our company you can do a secondment which is usually a short term change of role or position (anything from 1 month to 2 years) where you move to a different part of the business or a diifferent role or project, either to help out, pass on your knowledge, or learn something new yourself.
If that makes sense!!

LilyLoo · 08/05/2007 15:46

Sorry osj and iohw must have missed your posts not ignoring you.
Don't fancy painting anything today iohw it's blowing a gail here and just got soaked on school run. Definately not looking glamerous now. Great news MLS you will get through it just know it, who knows you might even get a 'freezer' yet.
Know what you mean about all meeting each other afetr telling each other more detail than we have our friends in rl. Hope we don't start doing the same with each other

LilyLoo · 08/05/2007 15:48

Also wanted to reiterate iohw sentiments to pc, well done, despite all you going through thanks for giving us the chance to nosy in on each other.
