Pregnant and his having an affair šŸ’”

This is my first time posting anything on anywhere but reading other posts had supported me greatly in the past and I’m looking for advice what to do next.
So Let me tell you what I’ve been through.
I met my now fiancƩ 10 years ago we were young and I already had an 18 month old boy I was getting over breaking up from my ex (boys father) he was a taxi driver and cheated on me with his client. I met this man and we fell completely head over heals for each other things were fantastic he picked me up from a dark time made me and DS feel special and part of a family.
Things were great and pretty much stayed like that for 8 years we bought a house we both got good jobs and supported each other got engaged then 2 and a half years ago I feel pregnant we had been trying for 7 months and we were overjoyed. 7 months into my pregnancy anxiety hit me like a ton of bricks I was a wreck but got through it until baby was 3 months old then our relationship started to break down I got depression and it took a lot of work to get out of it but We pulled through. Fast forward to now. Now I’m 4 months pregnant and things were great until about 2 weeks ago. I noticed DP going to the gym a lot 4/5 times a week. He would keep his phone next to him at all times and take regular trips away for work. I knew deep down inside that something was up confronted him and was told it’s your hormones, your paranoid I think you should see someone again and like a fool I believed him oh yes he was up to no good alright. Last Monday i asked DP to take a day annual leave so we could take the 2 kids to the zoo the eldest now 11 had teacher training day and the littleun loves the zoo I was told I can’t I have no time left so I shrugged it off. Wednesday came and he was taking a trip to London for work he said to me that it was a casual meeting and that it was jeans and jumper wear and even asked if he looked fit and he did that was that he went and came back late. Saturday he asks to go to his brothers to watch the footy I agreed he said he would be back at 9 he wasn’t I called him and asked where he was ā€œwhy does it matter?ā€
Who are you with? ā€œIt doesn’t matterā€
And put the phone down on me now I’m going insane so I look on his I pad And check his emails tucked away in the trash was an email confirming his booking for an adventure day at a nearby forest for the Wednesday just past for 2 ppl. I check his work phone that has his diary on it and there it was Wednesday 26th sep ANNUAL LEAVE I try to call him no answer. He stumbles in at 1am pist and I send him to the spare bed knowing he was comatose I get his phone and my heart sunk messages from a girl at work a pic
ā€œdon’t i look cuteā€
ā€œI miss you alreadyā€
ā€œYour awesomeā€
With a ton of kisses I look at his photos and there they are about 50 photos of this girl her breasts her erm snatch videos of her playing with herself head shots pouting I get him up and chuck him out we have spoken since and he said it was nothing just photos and txts he admitted to taking her out on the Wednesday and paying £66 for them to go money out of our family fund he denies being with her that night but my gut tells me his lying I find out after a lot of digging that this has been going on for about 3 months and that his her manager at work.
There is no way I can get over this the trust has completely gone and the deceit had cut deep what do I do? we have a house to sort out my eldest has just started secondary school I have the 20 week scan next week having him near me makes my skin crawl he made me think I was crazy and I’m scared the depression will come back it’s such a mess I’ve found out so much more but too much to write

Tell him the relationship is over. Keep him in the spare room and focus on your pregnancy.

Don't be getting stressed out as it's not good for you and the baby.

Be clear that the trust is gone and that's fundamental for you in.a relationship...you've been cheated on once and walked away...he needs to know it's a dealbreaker for you.

having him near me makes my skin crawl he made me think I was crazy

Tell him this...and that you can't be in a relationship with a man who abused you like this. It's called gaslighting...the making you think you're crazy.

Tell him to Google it...It's a form of mental abuse.

Beyond that take your time to think about your future...as this msn is no good for your mental health.

This is so awful Flowers. I'm so sorry you are going through this. Do you have family/friends who can support you? How anyone can do this to their family is beyond my comprehension. Personally I could not forgive the lies and deceit and the trust would be gone so, painful and difficult as it will be, separation would be my only course of action. I hope you took screenshots of all the evidence, because he will lie and minimize to all and sundry. As PP said, he has been gaslighting you, which is emotional abuse. You need to get this out in the open and start getting support from those who really care about you. I'm sure others will be along soon who have more experience than I, but I just wanted to send you my support.

What an absolute tosser. And who send photos and videos of their vagina? I find this disgusting. He doesn't seem very remorseful. Stay strong OP

cakecakecheese · 01/10/2018 12:44

Have you told any friends or family? You need some real life support and maybe someone to come with you to scans etc.

Did you take any photos of the things you found? He can't call you crazy and deny things if you have hard evidence.

OP, Your MH needs shoring up in order to get you through this time. This situation is hard to deal with even when you're even keeled so I'd have a word with your health visitor and go speak to the GP about a referral to adult mental health team if you find yourself struggling. I'm so sorry you're going through this šŸ’

Thank you for all your comments I have a weelbeing councillor that I’m currently speaking to that is helping me with the MH Side of things and thank god ive got my family and friends that are helping me with the kids so I have the support. I’m just broken I have spent nearly all of my adult life with this selfish man and it just shows you never truly know what their capable of doing I’ve heard he is back in the office with this girl which is driving me nuts I’ve had all the excuses and sorrys but I’m trying to be strong just want advice on where I go from here do I let him stay in the spare room I don’t want to but legally he is entitled to and what about the house I don’t want to go through the solicitors but I know that it’s probable do I get it sorted now before the baby comes or shall I wait i can ask friends/family for advice but as you can imagine they ain’t very happy with him and I’m worried about not disrupting the kids too much
