Hi, my sister is currently separated from her husband has been for 18 months. They have two children and are all currently living with me.
Over the last few months her husband hasn’t been asking for a reconciliation (she was thinking of divorce). In her heart of hearts I know she still loves him and would like to try again but doesn’t admit it.
Here is the problem: in their time apart he has been enjoying single life think dating sites/ out with the boys/ holidays abroad and she has reservations about how this could work.
He has pursued her relentlessly (I have seen this myself) and is now promising her the world if she goes home.
She has explained her need for reassurance from him and part of this led to him showing her his phone. On one message she saw from just a mobile number it read “ sorry Tracey can’t do a double week until end of August x x “.
It isn’t holiday related as he has been away and she is thinking it sounds dodgy. When asked about it, he said “oh, it was just someone I must’ve given my number to she’s ago”.
I think she feels that if she goes back it will hurt the kids again if it doesn’t work out,so she is being cautious.
Does the text seem strange? I don’t know what to think apart from maybe an escort type thing.
I’m trying to help her but feel at a loss!!
Thanks for reading
