Update 3. I’ve sent the text

Hi all
Well it’s been a hard week. He was out with her all day Thursday but I was set on my plan to text him tonight when he was supposed to be away with her.
Found some nice dick pics he’d sent her and some of her in lingerie (he deleted them but forgot about the recently deleted file - thanks iPhone).
So I’ve take some of his stuff round to our new doer upper house with his quilt, pillow, camp bed and toiletries. I text him my message at 3.15pm basically saying I know about the affair ( I included her full nam) , that I don’t want him in our home again and that his stuff is round the other house. Also said I wanted to keep things as civil as possible for the children and that i didn’t want to see him again but hoped he would maintain a good relationship with them. No names, no swearing. It was very to the point. He read the message at 3.32 and was straight on WhatsApp (to her I assume).
No phone all begging for forgiveness (not that I want it) no response at all.
He is out today due back soon so I’m sitting in my friends drive with the dog waiting for her to get home. Telling DD when I collect her from work in a bit and DS will have to wait till tomorrow as he’s out drinking with his friends. So I’ve done it. It was so bloody hard to press the send key but I just kept visualising the pic he sent her if his hairy balls 🤮 really!!!!
Will keep you posted. Keep your fingers crossed for me. I’m dreading telling his mum too - I know he won’t - she will be devastated.

Amazing. I’ve been following all your threads and I’m so amazed by your strength. You truly are an amazing woman. Congratulations on being free from this bell end. Have you heard anything from him?

Alfiemoon1 · 23/11/2019 19:08

Well done op

dubmumof2 · 23/11/2019 19:18

You are bloody brilliant! I can only imagine how difficult that was to do and how hard it has been - but you are so measured and considerate of others when they so patently are not. I hope you have some support this evening and remember that this is supposed to get easier (eventually)

millimollimandi · 23/11/2019 19:20

Well done for doing it - you are really awesome for actually having the courage to do it - life will be so much better for you and the 'children' - and hopefully for him it will be crap. Serves him right.

MajesticWhine · 23/11/2019 19:23

Good for you OP. Sending you strength and support.

RolytheRhino · 23/11/2019 19:24

Very dignified, OP, well done. Keep your head held high and get your version of events in first with everyone who matters. Big hugs. Flowers

carly2803 · 23/11/2019 19:25

Im in awe of you lady! well done.

Interestedwoman · 23/11/2019 19:27

Well done xxxxx

Honeyroar · 23/11/2019 19:30

Your poise and dignity is amazing- way above that of your seedy, dick pic sending husband. Keep your head up.

Thanks
Cloverbeauty · 23/11/2019 19:44

Wow well done. Bet she dumps him now as he will want her to leave her husband, she won't and he will try to come crawling back. I know you won't let him, you know you deserve far better than that scum.

Mary1935 · 23/11/2019 19:49

How are you OP

ohfourfoxache · 23/11/2019 20:05

You are one amazing lady x

plightofthealbatross · 23/11/2019 20:16

Well done.

I hope she dumps him as well, since she hasn't been willing to give her cozy married life either ...

I hope your evening is going well and he hasn't turned up

damnthatanxiety · 23/11/2019 20:16

OP you sound like an incredibly calm and centred individual. I am so in awe of you.

MsMoodyMare · 23/11/2019 20:22

You have SO many people on MN backing you.

Sending you cwtches, stay strong Smile

Well done you

surreysnapper · 23/11/2019 20:46

you are a stronger woman than me, OP. Well done

ExcitedForFuture · 23/11/2019 20:46

Are you the OP who discovered his affair whilst on holiday and had to keep it together?

DartmoorDoughnut · 23/11/2019 20:49

Well done OP, you sound absolutely awesome, so sorry you’re having to deal with all this

UnicornsExist · 23/11/2019 20:58

You are incredible OP.
The OW is welcome to his hairy balls and any STI he may have because he will almost certainly cheat on her at some point in the future too.
Good luck with your DC. They will understandably be upset but hopefully they will also see what an amazing woman you are.

prezziebox · 23/11/2019 21:04

I can't believe he never replied or called you or anything! What an absolute bastard! You don't need him you sound like a strong woman on your own! Good riddance!

SunshineCake · 23/11/2019 21:08

Take care of yourself, Coranade. Have you told your children ?

Inforthelonghaul · 23/11/2019 21:10
