I’ve posted on here before about my conspiracy theory fan dh and the problems it has caused us (different username) and we came to an agreement that if we no longer spoke about it then it wouldn’t be a problem.

This has worked ok in that life feels normal, we talk about normal things, we laugh and bring up our two children well together BUT there is this huge elephant in the room and it’s time I had a plan for when the inevitable happens - which whilst i don’t want to admit to but with the us elections coming up I feel it’s all going to blow up and I don’t want our children being told that the earth is flat and the queen is a lizard (seriously).

We have sold our house and are moving to be nearer my family 200 miles away so I’ve been holding out for this as once I’m near them I’ve finally got some support.

But my worry is if he moves back to where we live now (where his family are) will we have to ferry the children back and forth or can I tel him he will have to travel to see them? They are still only toddlers and I don’t want them staying overnight somewhere.

Also, if things get worse and he starts trying to tell our children these things could I stop him from seeing them completely? I hate the thought of them coming home from school and saying ‘daddy we learnt about the dinosaurs’ and him saying they never existed.

Or am I better keeping him in plain sight and staying together so at least I know what’s being said to them and can deal with it straight away?

Sorry this is a mess. I’m too embarrassed to tell anyone in real life so could do with some plain talking from mn please.

Oh and he wants to use his mums inheritance to put towards the new house but I don’t want to otherwise i won’t be able to afford to buy him out (we are not married despite me saying dh - fat fingers).
