sounds like its really coming to a head now.you are probably oozing negativity now, and DS will be picking up on things.do you think he knows deep down its ending?????

Courage, ma brave (pardon the excruciatingly bad french). Yes, it does sound like you're almost ready to tell him. It'll be kinder all round as you must all three of you be living in an awful atmosphere (I remember it well, and the immense relief when the storm finally broke & h moved out). It WILL be better, and you WILL survive.

What exactly are you scared of? Why are you scared of telling him?

You know, you will feel so much better when you have told him. You will be able to move forward, it will make such a difference.

Why don't you write it all down in a letter, don't say anything nasty, don't direct the blame at him but, just tell him how you feel, how you feel you have nothing more to give to the relationship and you want to go your own way.

You are allowed to want out of a relationship that isn't working for you, you don't have to have his permission, he doesn't have to agree, if it's what you really want then you just go for it!

We will support you through it, you have nothing to fear only lot's to look forward to!
At the moment only one person is blocking your personal happiness and, that person is you!
I am sorry if this sounds harsh, it is not meant to be harsh. But, you have to believe in yourself, believe in what you want and what you want from life and, take the biggest leap of faith!!!
We are all with you!!

Right, I'm off to the tip now, it's great destresser! but I will be back later to check up on you. You keep smiling and keep strong. Do something nice for yourself today. get away from the house, from dh, leave him with ds and you go somewhere quiet and do some thinking, and some writing!

Have a lovely day! xx

Maybe he really doesn't have a clue. Maybe he just thinks you are depressed and he is waiting for the day when you feel you van love him again. Men really do need things spelling out for them

If you really do want this marriage to end then you are going to have to take the bull by the horns and have 'the talk'

Again, Courage! It WILL be ok. He can 'fettle' away to his heart's content when he's on his own again!

Tanee58 · 29/10/2007 17:14

TimeforMe, did you have fun at the tip? I took my old TV to the tip last week, went in with a TV and came out with a nice little 'shabby chic' pine side table. Will do nicely for the guest room once I've sanded it down, stained it up and fixed the wobbly leg... DD horrified at the amount of junk I bring home. The cats are enjoying seesawing on the wobbly top!

Tanee58 · 29/10/2007 17:20

Write it all down Dior, I did, and although initally it had the opposite effect (I was SO nice that exh decided not to leave me after all, and the final breakup was postponed about a month until he realised that, nice as I was, I couldn't give up the OM) - it helped me get my thoughts and feelings about the marriage straight without the distraction of him.

You don't have an OM to fling at him - which is good, you're a much better person than I -but I suspect many men can't believe that we can jettison a marriage unless there IS another man - we're SO dependent and helpless, after all - so you may need to be really very assertive to get your message across that you DON'T want to be married to him any more, and that you CAN survive alone. (And you CAN !)

jinxed · 29/10/2007 18:43

ooooops Its J A R M btw!

hi dior, sorry i have been away

you know i find it really sad and shocking that you think your h being helpful is sorting the dishwasher

thats something that surely is just a domestic thing either of you do at the time, but he has got you feeling grateful for something as basic as that

chin up chuck, i'm on msn if you need me
