Found emails and a receipt for flowers. The emails are just Facebook messenger notifications so I can't read what they say but he's addressed the flowers to "my love".

I'm in with the 3 dc. I'm going to be sick.

Thanks

Oh, I’m so sorry OP. My exH cheated on me pretty much constantly over 18 years. I could never get the proof though. When I finally kicked him out he ran straight to a woman he’d been seeing on and off for 12 years. You will get through this. I’m so much happier now. 2 years on I’ve rebuilt my life and me and my children are so much happier.

I have just finished this thread-OP I am so sorry, really hope you can manage some time away from the house and get some close support in the next few days.

Take care of yourself.

I keep coming back to see if you have posted OP.
Im alternating between feeling so sorry for this lady to feeling bloody angry with the OW thread and consequently can’t sleep.
I’m desperately hoping it’s all a big mistake and you have gone to bed but I’m pretty sure I’m wrong.
I’m sending you a massive hug and hope that you have good RL support. I’m sure there must be someone here who would live close enough to hold your hand in person if you haven’t.
You have three wonderful kids who will help you get through whatever life throws at you.
Keep strong.

youspinmerightround · 05/01/2018 00:56

Just went to bed. He admitted he has been messaging her but he said he hasn't met up with her but he did try to and she said no. He said they argued when she said no and they had a fall out so that's why he sent her the flowers.

I think I could probably get past the whole emotional affair thing but the fast he sent her the flowers is violently breaking my heart inside my chest right now. I am dying inside.

So sorry OP

InsomniacAnonymous · 05/01/2018 01:01

So sorry you're being put through this hell, OP.
Btw, he's never met her, yet he called her "my love"?

PanannyPanoo · 05/01/2018 01:01

Hope you manage to get some sleep. Try to rest tonight and think about it tomorrow. So much he needs to explain.

2018SoFarSoGreat · 05/01/2018 01:02

So sad that it is only an emotional affair because OW refused to meet.

My heart breaks for you, YouSpin, wish there were words to make you feel better but there really are none. Flowers

You will be in my thoughts tonight.

MiddleClassProblem · 05/01/2018 01:02

Oh god! It does all add up but the “my love” is awful. Do what’s best for you, not for him. I know you probably won’t sleep tonight but try and get somewhere to clear your head tomorrow, even if it’s just going for a walk. Is there anywhere you and the kids can go for the weekend?

Failingat40 · 05/01/2018 01:03

If it was as he says then he shouldn't have deleted their conversations - he needs that to show you he's telling the truth (which of course he isn't) 'My love' Shock

So sorry Thanks

MyRelationshipIsWeird · 05/01/2018 01:03

I’m so sorry for you OP. Flowers

It’s not what you want to hear, but he may be admitting to the only thing you can prove i.e. messages and flowers. Very rarely do they confess to everything, just the bare minimum they can get away with. I’d be very wary of making any decisions based solely on what he’s owned up to, as it’s likely more will come out in the wash as new things come to light - hotel bills, more messages etc.

The script goes along the lines of.... They did meet up but didn’t kiss; then they kissed but nothing else; then they slept in the same bed but no sex. Then it was sex but only once.

It’s shit - you don’t need any more uncertainty - but he is not your friend right now, you can’t trust him.

GoReylo · 05/01/2018 01:03

That's so shitty of him OP, I'm sorry.
