Dh sent me a photo by mistake.

It’s really rattled me.

He sent a bunch of photos that all made sense in relation to a big purchase we’re considering- this other photo was completely random.

I sent a text back saying- I’m quite sure you didn’t mean to send this photo to me.

When he came back from work he was very defensive and said there was nothing inappropriate/sexual about the photo and that I was being unreasonable.

I have a very strange gut instinct that I cannot shake off. We almost split up 5 years ago when he was trying to persue someone on social media/sexting. We got over that and decided our marriage was worth saving on the proviso he did it again he was out-instantly.

Something’s not right.

Where do I go from here experts?

You’re an inspiration Coats 💐

CoatsProtectionLeague · 13/06/2018 12:21

Cannot agree Juicyswan
Do you know who inspires me?

All those woman who don’t put up with shite right from the get go.

Women with brilliant relationships because they wouldn’t settle.

I put up and shut up for years Hmm

Still. Onwards.

Those women are admirable, Coats but those of us who finally got out are a lot less judgmental and are better listeners and teachers.

dirtybadger · 13/06/2018 14:51

Coats- remember that a lot of those women dont put up with shit because they learned not to! You are now one of those women. I think most learned the hard way not to take any shit...

wellthisisshit school fathers' day breakfast? WTAF is that? I think that's ridiculous, it should be entirely up to individual families whether they "do" fathers' day or not. We don't although we have no issues with DH, just choose not to

XJerseyGirlX · 13/06/2018 16:05

Op , myself and my colleague have been following this thread from the get go. You are an inspiration and an amazingly strong woman. Just wanted to say your fucking awesome.. chin up xx

You know what, it's even harder to leave in the circumstances you're in. And that's only to be commended and admired.

Absolutely rooting for you here, you're amaze-balls.

AndTheBandPlayedOn · 13/06/2018 16:21

It’s the right thread.
WellThisIs could you just have your girl miss that day altogether? I agree that the school is being hugely insensitive, unless they offer the opportunity for mums to come if needed. We did this with our Daddy/Daughter Dance for Girl Guide’s/Scouts. Flowers

Coats, it is easy to do some Monday Morning Quarterbacking (I’m a Yank and that’s American Football-not sure if there is an equivalent U.K./Euro saying), and that’s good to recognize what the red flags were getting into the relationship for future reference. I have a feeling you won’t have much Monday Morning Quarterbacking to do on the exit process. Star

How’s the new hairdo? Mani/pedicures can follow a monthly artistic theme, just saying. Wink

AndTheBandPlayedOn · 13/06/2018 16:23

WellThisIs, son, not daughter, sorry.

BitOutOfPractice · 13/06/2018 16:24

I'd just like to say that I would really like to go for a bloody good night in the pub with you OP because you sound just my kind of woman. Keep going you're doing great and I admire you immensely Thanks

BitOutOfPractice · 13/06/2018 16:25

Just had another idea. If you know your hairdresser well could you book a year's worth of appointments and pay for them in advance?

BitOutOfPractice · 13/06/2018 18:58

Oh goodness I've just read my 4:24 post back and it sounds like I'm hitting on you op Blush sorry, I meant as a friend. Sorry!

CoatsProtectionLeague · 13/06/2018 20:23

You’re crackers. It didn’t sound like that at all. Grin

My small talk is shit- be careful what you wish for.

BitOutOfPractice · 13/06/2018 20:33

Oh good. It did sound a bit creepy I think. But glad you didn't read it like that Grin

Goodasgoldilox · 13/06/2018 20:40

You need a new thread Coats!

MaudlinMews · 13/06/2018 22:40

I really admire your positive stance coats

I just thought I’d mention what happens when you tell him or he finds out you know. To keep your unit safe you should employ counter-surveilance tactics when going there and avoid leaving by the same route at the time time. Also, store the key away from your person in a safe unmarked place and dont let the children see unless they give the game away (call it visiting the bakery or something!) he may have family follow you (my ex did this).

Good luck!

MilkshakeMonkey · 14/06/2018 16:53

Coats you are doing such an amazing job right now!!
It’s gonna be tough, but you can do this.

This post just proves a woman’s gut feeling is rarely wrong 😊
