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 but looking back dh had also become distant and withdrawn and i think i was picking up on that.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

Just a quick message. MIL was fantastic. Gave me lots of good advice and lots of reassurance that I have done everything I can (more than he deserves she says!)

She is with dh now and said she will not stop until she gets me some answers as to why he's given up when we're so close to getting through this. She just can't believe it.

Nice to have someone on my side who knows all the details and I truly hope she can help him and hopefully encourage him to give me the answers I deserve.

Off to bed with ds! The day has been long enough!

Hi, MLS, PC, Mel, ernest, sorry you are all having a crap time. is there a full moon or something, or have the aliens taken over the men? DP is being such a twunt today but i just cant be bothered to waste valuable time posting it all. Probably it is as much my fault as his, but at the moment I cant be bothered with having my crap housework skills etc being rubbed in my face.

MLS - the blank face - Im getting that a lot. Im starting to think he's lost the power to feel any emotion except anger. he keeps talking about how his heart is going to break when he finally moves out, but he seems to conveniently ignore the young broken heart he will be leaving behind.

Anyway, i just cant be arsed with him at the moment IYKWIM?

Great news about his mum MLS .Everyone seems as angry and shocked with him as you are which is good and can only help him see that he needs to sort himself out and soon. i hope she can get some answers for you.
