I've told him to go!

[MiaMummaCat]

So, I'm just sitting down with a cuppa & I could really do with a hug. I confronted my husband with the fact that I know he's cheating on me, and I want him out of the house. I was calm, polite and quite matter of fact about - I didn't cry, despite my heart beating so fast as I confronted him. I'm feeling quite proud of myself!
I've walked away to another room to allow him time to think about it!
Would very much appreciate some support from you lovely people out there right now! Thank you :) xxx

No - he didn't apologise .......I think he's currently in shock, this was likely a bolt out of the blue! He underestimated me! Boom!

very brave. You got this!

Have another biscuit!

And a glass of wine.

You've done the toughest bit - which is make the decision and inform him of it. Stay strong and stick to your guns.

Well done x You acted with class and dignity. Unlike him.

@MiaMummaCat
I wish I was like you all those years ago!
Well done for keeping your dignity and self respect, do you think he'll leave willingly?

Good for you, stay strong x

Will he leave willingly......I think he will. He knows he's in the wrong, and I said I'd leave if I could, but I have to stay in the house & be there for the children as I do virtually all of the parenting & have done for the last few years.

Well done you strong and amazing lady you. It's sad this has happened but you have done the right thing and with dignity to boot.

I've been in your position only I wasn't so calm. Well done on keeping your dignity and being strong! You can do this. Watch his cheating arse squirm and be prepared for a load of lies....

Good for you girl

make sure he takes the Knight in Shining Amour suit with him, he may need it for his next job.

Well done! Stay strong!

Want to give you a hug. What a strong woman you are. Keep your head held high and keep calm.

@inigomontoyahwillcox

You rock.

Shove over - I've brought crisps and a nice chilled (in honour of your super cool management of the situation) bottle of Sancerre.

Oooh good choice!

Well done you brave woman. Hold your head up high!!!!

Just throwing in my support. Love a strong woman thread

So much great support here - I wish I could have you all round for a celebratory drink or two! Thank you all so very much, it means more than you'll ever know.

God knows I wanted to shout & scream at him, but I wanted to remain calm & give him no chance to say I was unreasonable. Hopefully he'll be decent about the house, etc.
Stay strong ladies everywhere xxx

So sorry

You sound very strong
His loss xxx

Wow, you're one strong woman.

Good on you.

I'll have a cuppa with you ☕️.

Well done your amazing and it's going to be a bright future. I would teach my daughter to be strong like this, or actually sons too because a cheat is a cheat and man or woman .
Much love xxx

You can and will do this. Your dignity is remarkable. His guilt will get to torture him. Good luck OP.

Well done (applause)!!! You can hold your head up high. I hope he leaves quickly.

Sending hugs. Stay strong and good riddance to him.

He's going to miss you, I can tell.

Well done!
I took a similar path18 months ago. It's not been easy and it takes stamina to sort divorce, financial arrangements, sorting the house etc. My only advice is find yourself a damn good solicitor that specialises in supporting women ASAP. Preferably one recommended to you by others. While you think he's going to be reasonable now, that may not be the case as you progress this. If you are adamant this is the right decision for you (& it sounds like that's the case) then don't delay engaging a solicitor as it can take a surprising amount of time to resolve everything to the point where you can move on.
I can only add that 18 months later while I am worse off financially (I was the main breadwinner) but I'm sooooo much happier and ready to get on with my life. Best thing I did in years!!
Take care x

Today, you have won the Internet.
You will also be an inspiration to many other women who will emulate your strength.
