How far off the hook?

10 replies

Bbblacksheep · 27/11/2019 09:40

My husband always eyes up other women and then he had screenshots of women on his phone (of their wassap profile pictures). Last night I found him reading an article about "how to find the right woman"? I'm feel that I'm done. But I just wonder how far should one go to let their partner off the hook? I have friends whose spouses actually cheated on them, and they stayed together....we have two small children....any tips here? Or advice based on experience? Thanks.

No tips except to get rid. How disrespectful of him. I wouldn't stay with a man like that.

Yuk. He sounds like a creep even if he wasn't married. I'd start making plans.

Your friends have their standards and boundaries and you have yours.
Do not lower your bar just because your friends do.
I'd be telling him how to find the right woman.
First step. fuck off out of this house and start looking!
Don't put up with this shit.
It's truly disrespectful. He is showing you exactly who he is.
A fucking asshole.
Get rid and do it fast.

Wow. You need to leave and find the "right man."

He is actively looking for something "better" when he is with you.

He clearly feels you aren't good enough for him.

It's hard to face but whether it is in 2 months or 10 years, he is finally going to think he has found something better and leave you.

You deserve so much better xx

Disrespectful get rid. I would never be able to stay with a man who does that.

Urgh. What a sleazy creep. I couldn't share a house or bed with someone like that.

Gemma1971 · 27/11/2019 13:33

Just WHAT THE ACTUAL F???????????

How to find the right woman??? Could he insult you more??

bobstersmum · 27/11/2019 13:34

He's no good, get rid.

You don't need permission to leave him just because he hasn't actually cheated (yet). As others have pointed out, he has creepy behaviour and it must be demoralising for you. There will never be a 'right woman' for a man like him, who likes to window shop...

Time to protect your self esteem from further assault and get rid of him. If you don't do it for yourself, think about your kids being raised in a household where their mother is undermined systematically and what that teaches/ role models for their adult life.
