Well it’s not really an ‘I think’ really, I just have

There was an unfamiliar beeping coming from the coat/shoe cupboard so I went in to investigate and found a phone in DPs coat, a cheap little Nokia with just one contact - a woman’s name

I am home alone with 4 kids trying not to cry but honestly I could throw up right now
Wtf

Hope you're ok and he's told you the truth, whatever it is - you and your children deserve that at the very least 💐

ThanksThanksThanks

MrsAJ27 · 04/08/2018 23:46

Hope you are ok and his explanation has made things clearer for you Flowers

ThanksWine hand hold x

Ok, I’m going to totally embarrass myself here and admit that I put the ow’s number in WhatsApp and fb, I had a name, photo and a number and I became obsessed with looking at what she was doing and what she looked like, not to mention compare myself to her.
I also contacted her and showed my hand with my H too soon and ‘lost’ evidence I probably could have found if I’d held back a bit. Blush
I think, even if it doesn’t feel that way, you are being so dignified, patient and calm and this will all probably help you in the long run if you find out there is a ow.
Good luck, we are all behind you x

HairyHiker · 05/08/2018 00:07

I hope you are OK op.
Even though you probably don't feel it, you are being so strong.
Be kind to yourself. Flowers

FuckyDuzz · 05/08/2018 00:12

Thanks all for the lovely words

I don’t really have the energy to go into it atm but we had a conversation, and I ended up asking him to leave, if just for a few days because I just can’t think straight while he’s in front of me

He did cry like a PP said he would, but I just didn’t look at him and he left
He’s now texting me all kind of I love you messages but I’m just going to turn my phone off and go to sleep (or at least lie down, I doubt I’ll get much sleep)

Just wanted to update as there’s so many messages and you’re all being so lovely I didn’t want to just disappear

Thank you all Flowers

Aww op. So sorry to hear this. At least you have allowed yourself time to honk and get things straight. You sound so lovely Thanks

LithaFest · 05/08/2018 00:14

Honk = think

Domino20 · 05/08/2018 00:16

I really hope you can get some rest. Please don't let him gaslight or bamboozle you with lies. X

findingmywaytoday · 05/08/2018 00:17

So sorry that was the outcome. Shame the love he is sending you now didn't stop him in the 1st place. Hope you get some sleep

jpclarke · 05/08/2018 00:22

So sorry to read your update, I hope you get some rest and time to get your head straight. If you have anyone who can help out with the kids tomorrow try and use it to give yourself some time to get your head straight, sending you hugs xx

Ikeepbuyinganimals · 05/08/2018 00:22

Flowers that will have been just the shittiest of conversations, really feel for you.

Justgettothepoint · 05/08/2018 00:24

OP well done for confronting him but sorry that's it's not an innocent reason for him having the phone. Get some rest. Tomorrow is a brand new dayFlowers

rainbowlou · 05/08/2018 00:25

Sending you lots of love op Flowers

Newerversion · 05/08/2018 00:28

Oh god no, I really hoped not to read that update.

Please just take your time and look after you.

I want you to know that I am here to listen along with so many others.

Cuttingthegrass · 05/08/2018 00:28

Oh Fucky. What a shit time. What a shit he is. Hope you can at least get some rest if not sleep. Sending hugs and thinking of you.

ChanandlerBongsNeighbour · 05/08/2018 00:30

So sorry OP. What a shit shit time. Try and get some rest tonight. Thanks

EinsteinsArousedSausagesHCB · 05/08/2018 00:51

Ahh Fucky Flowers. He's a shit.

SleepWarrior · 05/08/2018 00:57

Sounds like it went as well as these things can. Him leaving is good as it means thinking space for you.

I know it doesn't feel like it right now, but you will be OK. Flowers

Halfahunnerstillastunner · 05/08/2018 00:57

Hoping you get some rest and gather some strength OP. I'm heartsore for you and your babies tonight.

ManginoBambino · 05/08/2018 01:01

have you got someone who can help with the DCs tomorrow, don't run yourself into the ground physically and emotionally

HelenaHB · 05/08/2018 01:01

I've just now read the full thread, I'm so sorry you're going through this. He's been conniving enough to have an affair phone but yet cries when caught out. How pathetic.

falsesmile · 05/08/2018 01:03

So sorry you've found this out. Hope you are ok. xx

RaymondHolt · 05/08/2018 01:04

Thinking of you Thanks
