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

Aww op, so sorry to read your update. Was hoping for an innocent explanation for you.
Look after yourself lovely xx

Ah. The tears of the guilty instead of the protestations of the innocent.

No surprise there then.

Wishing you strength and a bit of peace OP Flowers

Aw shit Sad

You only need to get through a minute at a time. Don’t worry about tomorrow morning or the coming week, just concentrate on the here and now

I’m so sorry Thanks

CommuterBlue · 05/08/2018 02:34

Seems very stupid & unnecessarily risky of him to bring the phone into the house rather than hide in the car etc. Neither though can it be innocent as nobody has a normal phone with only 1 number on it. Wishing you strength and hope.

Igorina · 05/08/2018 02:56

You will be alright, Duzz.

I know it doesn't seem like that right now but you will be.

WestleyAndButtockUp · 05/08/2018 04:19

What a hard road the OP has ahead of her. But I kind of get the strong feeling that she's going to be OK. More than others in similar situations.

Others have gone through this type of thing and come out happier. You will too, OP.

Flightbite · 05/08/2018 06:18

I hope you've managed a few hours sleep OP.

Thanks
ivykaty44 · 05/08/2018 06:32

Op take your time, there is no need to rush, take your time

Think about what you want

Bit what’s best for anyone else

Think what’s best for you on this occasion

Ignore me telling you what to do or collecting evidence (never been to sure where this evidence is going to be presented)

Take your time and don’t be pressured by anyone or afraid to change your mind

Cawfee · 05/08/2018 06:34

Hope you’re ok OP x

Squeakybubbles26 · 05/08/2018 06:50

Hope your ok OP Thanks

loveisland · 05/08/2018 07:09

Glad it went ok and even better you made him leave, you need time to think, go and do some things with the children the next few days even if your upset, it will ease your mind and make you realise you can do things alone Thanks

MrsMozart · 05/08/2018 07:14

Thinking about you lass.

The handhold stays strong.

MyOtherProfile · 05/08/2018 07:18

So sorry. Hope you managed to sleep a bit.

dilly123 · 05/08/2018 07:50

Like so many people have said already, I too have been thinking of you all weekend & checking for updates.. I admire your strength , it takes a very strong lady to hold herself together at times like this for her children's sake.. you sound like an amazing mother & person. You have shown such dignity. My goodness what a fool he is to risk throwing everything away. Sending you more love & strength for the upcoming days.. Thanks

sexnotgender · 05/08/2018 07:56

Sorry you’re dealing with this, we’re all here for a handhold/place to vent.

Hope you managed some sleep.

RavenLG · 05/08/2018 07:58

You seem very strong and wise OP. I honestly admire your dignity and strength through this. I wouldn’t be able to hold it goether half as much as you.

I can’t offer any words of wisdom but the other MNs have and we are all here for you FlowersFlowers

lauryloo · 05/08/2018 08:00

Hope you got some rest op Flowers

CrazyDogLady87 · 05/08/2018 08:00

read this thread from the original post, I've been thinking of you OP xx

flumpybear · 05/08/2018 08:03

So sorry I was hoping it was perhaps a drugs phone .... that's bad too I guess
Thanks

TheSassyAssassin · 05/08/2018 08:07

Crocodile tears and desperate I love you's. Familiar script! Hmm You will likely experience some pretty strong and wildly different emotions in the coming days. Hoping you have someone IRL to turn to. So sorry Fucky. He's an arse! Flowers

imsconequeen · 05/08/2018 08:14

Fuckyduzz
You're brilliant and sound like a total catch. You're doing so well x all of us virtual strangers are here for you if you need it. You WILL get through this lovely x

SimonBridges · 05/08/2018 08:38

Well done

Think very hard before letting him back in. Don’t let his pleading and messages win you round too easily.

Cherubfish · 05/08/2018 08:45

So sorry OP
