Received a text today after no contact from DH all day - He's been out with friends.

It states:

I'll never understand why you want me to go but I'm at the station for another 30 minutes x

Is it me or does this seem a little... weird/strange/random? No contact as I said since he left this morning and I anticipate he's probably drunk

Holy shit! He’s met someone nice? Well isn’t that just convenient.

You’re doing so well holding everything together. He honestly sounds like no great loss.

Do you think this new woman is the same who the text was for? If so if he got the train originally then does this new woman live local? Just thinking how often he would get the see the kids if you / he wanted x

I hope you have already rang CMS and put in your claim for maintenance...

One way to find out if he has other DC he is going to declare in order to get a payment reduction!

Don’t hold back, take him for what he’s got!! Hit where it hurts men the most Money

He’s a first class B....,,d

Take care, be kind to yourself

If you can find out from his best friend's sister, find out who she is and where she lives. Or at least her name to Fb her or somehow to contact her as maybe she doesn't even know about you, and she does deserve to know who he really is and that he has dependent children. I know people may suggest this for revenge, but I think the OW does deserve to know the truth if she doesn't. If it were me, I would want to know that my partner abandoned a wife but especially innocent children who he hasn't bother to contact. I am sure you would want to know, too, if you were her. I think you really need to do this.

I am so sorry for you and the children, I can't imagine how you are feeling, especially for the children. Flowers Flowers

'Started dating again' 'met someone lovely'
In the ten days he has been gone from his marriage? Is he on glue?
Tbh as horrible as it is, it might be better for the dc if he is uninvolved with them going forwards-he doesn't sound like someone that will be a positive in their lives tbh...

Cuttingthegrass · 13/09/2018 08:33

Oh OP. What a shit. You are amazingly strong.

It couldn't be soap opera as people would complain it's too far fetched to be believable!

Sorry you're living through this Flowers

Singingitoverandoverandover · 14/09/2018 15:31

Hope you are ok op

OP I'm sorry you are going through this. My own ex left suddenly without warning and almost three years on he never had a conversation with me about the reasons why. He did go to another woman whom he married in secret (weeks after our divorce) I found out after my DD had been with him for contact and was a bridesmaid at their wedding.
It helps me to think that the man I knew is dead. This person who looks like him is a stranger and I focus on my own life.

It's a traumatic life changing event however and sometimes I catch myself thinking "what? Did this really happen"

You are not alone but you do need to look after yourself and the first step is the financial one. If you are comfortable financially you can work on the other elements of your life.

IsabellaMoltisantixx · 16/09/2018 10:09

@Saturdaynightthoughts

What you're going through is awful, if you need a rant or just advice we'll all be happy to be accommodate,
I can't imagine how you're feeling
Hope you are ok?

RunSweatLaughAndLatte · 16/09/2018 10:12

Is it an iPhone? Check his battery section to see what apps he is using most often. Also if he's on whatsapp check for archived messages, muted contacts and frequently contacted

AynRandTheObjectivist · 16/09/2018 10:32

A second family might explain the payday blowouts. What an absolute arsewipe. How could parents as lovely and upstanding as his obviously are have ended up with such a shit for a son?

You really are incredible, OP.

Glitterandunicorns · 16/09/2018 10:56

@Saturdaynightthoughts I just wanted to say I think you're amazing. You sound like a brilliant mum and I'm full of admiration for you for handling all this the way you have. Best of luck for your wastrel-free future. Thanks

FuckItPassMeTheWine · 27/09/2018 17:39

OP , I thought of you today. How are you atm? Hope you are bearing with it , I’m sure you’re being as strong as ever but just wanted to say keep going really 💛 xx

Alfiemoon1 · 08/10/2018 13:12

Hope you are ok op

Mother of God what a gothic horror novel this has become all thanks to that son of a bitch! We are rooting for you and your sweet babies. Sigh. My identical twin was with a guy over five years he cheated on her and left her (my sister is a college professor who is a wonderful person) for a stripper with multiple children from numerous men she’s duped who then stalked my sister through social media-she had to get a lawyer involved,sigh. Was obviously threatened by my accomplishes sibling. She subsequently was unfaithful to the pig cleaned out his bank account and moved on to someone else he had to move in with his parents. I wish you nothing but peace,joy and happiness.
