I hate my husband for what he has done

Hi all, I got married last year and just gave birth to my baby girl. A girl called me at the start of the year to say she's been sleeping with my husband for over a year (which is half our relationship) and she showed me hotel receipts and WhatsApp messages and videos to prove it. She said she was also pregnant by him. Since then I've done some snooping and discovered that he's been texting other girls in the past year flirting and asking to see them. He's apologised profusely but denied sleeping with anyone else which i don't believe.
We were arguing a lot before the wedding and both said things we shouldn't have which is what he says drove him to do it. I just feel like my entire relationship with him has been a lie and I'm finding it so difficult to get past his betrayal. What's annoying now is that he still expects me to massage him and rub his back etc but the idea of it makes me sick as he told me that those are the things the other woman used to do for him. He keeps telling me to let go of the past but I'm just so angry and upset to the point it's depressing me. We had 2 sessions of counselling and the therapist said because I've just had a baby I should wait a couple of months to be emotionally ready to deal with the issues in the sessions. I just don't know what to do. Sometimes I find myself hating him so much.

You don't have to make an announcement to the world that you're splitting up.

Your husband is awful. He's not mature enough to be a husband or a father. He's too busy seeking out sex and sleeping around like a desperate dog on heat.

He doesnt deserve you. With his record this won't be his last affair. I could bet my house on it. He'll probably be careful not to get anyone else pregnant though.

The humiliation is his - even if he's too stupid to know it yet.

If he had a brain in his head he would be grovelling for forgiveness, not telling you to give him massages. The cruelty is breathtaking.

if he won't leave, pack your stuff and move in with your Mum. Don't give this loser any more of your time.

BrendasUmbrella · 23/04/2018 22:09

What are his plans for seeing and supporting his other baby?

That's his business tbh. Let's not put the OP in the position of being his social secretary, especially in this case.

Oh i could go on and on about how nasty he is. You're all so right it's as if you know him. He's even told me how his friend cheated on his wife with her cousin and she forgave him because she loves him. Hmm I know he won't change. The other woman used to give him money and buy him gifts and give sexual favours whenever he wanted. All the hotels were paid for by her. He's very immature and puts his sexual needs above everything else. I'll be going for sti checks this week. Whenever I bring his affair up he just sits there looking irritated and has even insulted me calling me disgusting. The other woman said he made out like I'm a monster. I am definitely going to start planning my exit plan starting by telling my mum. I'm sitting here with my heart hurting while he snores away in the next room. Its hard because our culture frowns on divorce. I don't want to end up on deadly women so I think it's best I LTB. Thanks for all the advise xxx

I bet your culture also frowns on what he did.

Get to a solicitor as soon as you can.

Pretend to be calm with him while you get your ducks in a row. Then slam him with the divorce papers.

Ski40 · 23/04/2018 22:26

Hi OP. Congratulations on your baby 😊
If that were me I would send him packing. He doesn't even sound like he is sorry.
If he was able to behave in such a vile manner in the early days, ask yourself what the future will bring to your relationship. I can only see it getting worse.
I'm so sorry he is such a jerk to you. You should be able to enjoy your beautiful baby in peace, with a man who respects you - or alone. 💐💖

Oh well done, OP. I'm so glad you are making a decision that will improve your life a thousand percent.

getalifesonny · 24/04/2018 10:04

you don't deserve to be treated like this. Leave him. He is not worth it? Are you by any chance from a south asian background? I am a south asian and our culture is not kind to divorcee women. Will your family support you if you leave him? Are you financially independent? You don't want to end up in a position where your family forces you to live with him. I would say you should first speak to a solicitor and get advice.

AgathaF · 24/04/2018 10:17

Talk to your mum about this today. Get support from family and friends. Leave him.

He'll cheat on you again. So if you don't leave him now, when will you leave him?

Figgygal · 24/04/2018 10:23

My god having a baby doesn't mean your brain falls out of your head

He's a bastard and god knows why you married him tell your mum today don't put it off

GlitterAndTrauma · 24/04/2018 10:32

Speaking from experience, get out now. My partner texted women for 10 years (yes, I was dumb, young and naive and didn't get rid) and eventually I had to get rid when I found it he'd finally taken the next step and actually met one (or 4) of them.

Stupid me, what do I do?! I take him back again. Now I'm currently stuck in a relationship that, because of all the hurt he caused, I'm not fulfilled with or happy with. The only reason I got back with him was because it killed me to see the man I'd got 2 children with and lost a child with, the man I'd been with since I was 15, with another woman. And I don't believe for a second that he's talking to anyone or cheating now, but unfortunately the damage has been done and now I don't want to be intimate with him and he doesn't understand why, since he isn't doing wrong anymore.

You will never be happy in that relationship. Even if he isn't doing anything, you will live in paranoia wondering if he is or will do it again. Don't make my mistake, because after 13 years now I can honestly say it's just a waste of your time and his. Concentrate on you and your daughter, fuck him. You deserve better and so does your daughter, it's both of your happiness that matters.

Nothing overcomes humiliation like the cold hard light of day being shone in to a relationship.

Blow his dirty little secret wide open. Tell everyone. Everyone. Your hairdresser, your mum, your HV. Not one of them will think you are stupid, they will ALL see that he's a filthy, abusive sleaze bucket. And I can guarantee not one of them will say 'but you spent so much on the wedding - you have to stay with him'.

RoundaboutSnail · 24/04/2018 13:42

How are you today OP?

minmooch · 24/04/2018 13:50

Oh op I feel for you. Please do everything you can to get yourself and your dd away from this selfish bastard. How dare he treat you this way. Talk to your mum, take the baby and just go. No one will give a toss about your wedding and those that do are not your real friends.

Stay safe but leave him.

Laserbird16 · 24/04/2018 14:04

Leave him, arsehat

Mini2017 · 24/04/2018 14:58

He seems like a narcissist.
So reminds me of my ex fiancé.
We will never change as he doesn't think he has done anything wrong.
Try to find comfort in the fact that you have a healthy baby.
This should be such a special time to bond with your little one and that bastart too that away from you.
Unforgivable!!!
I totally understand how much cultural expectations can add pressure to an already bad situation; I have a 5 month old and I'm not with the father of my child but we get on well.
But, don't let that stop you. Your child need you whole and healthy and all this can't be good to you.
Sleepless nights, stress etc is no good.
Get rid of him and although it might hurt, you will come out a much happier person.
You can do it and we are here to listen to you.
