‘D’H won’t let go of stuff from ten years ago

Been with DH since I was 18 and in my first year of uni. I’m 28 now. We have a 14 week old DD and have been married for 2 years.

I lied to him about how many people
I had slept with at the beginning of the relationship. I said it was more to impress him. I should not have lied and should
Have come clean straight away. I hate myself for it but I can’t change it. 4 years later I let something slipped and then just ended up coming clean. Everything was fine and we carried on with our lives, getting married and having our daughter.

Last year he brought it up again to try and test me to see if I was telling the truth.

We’ve just had a huge tow about something unrelated and he’s brought it up again. He’s always hated the fact that I’ve done some sexual acts with other people that I’ve not done with him (stuff I discovered I don’t like or stuff I just went along with when I was 16 and didn’t like) and he hates that.

He’s also being depressive saying that I only stayed with him as he’s reliable and dependable which isn’t true and that we’ve never had any passion in the bedroom (which was an issue at the beginning of our relationship). We broke up a lot when we were at uni. He won’t let this stuff go. It’s come out of nowhere and I don’t know how to fix it

What about your own parents? Can you go with baby for a few days to avoid the atmosphere? Just tell him you are not prepared to hang around and watch him sulk. He needs standing up to right now or this will be him from here on. And , no he wont take baby from you and if he threatens to its low and an empty threat.

I'd really recommend looking for a Freedom programme near by. Google Freedom programme, and delete your history afterwards or call Women's Aid, they should have a list of local services. It will help you understand what he's doing and strengthen you. They usually have a Creche. Do it now whilst you're on maternity leave. He doesn't have to know you're doing it. And yes get legal advice too.

Once again, an opinion. Talk to each other. Be open and honest. The fact that the truth, or part of it ' slipped out' means he doesn't know what has happened. He's on quicksand and doesn't have a firm view of reality. Ask him if he has ever withheld anything, and ask him why. The only way to rebuild trust is to be completely frank and honest. If honesty and truth drive you apart then you need to rethink your marriage. I wish you the best.
