4 weeks ago my husband was unusually quiet, i questioned him and he told me he was unhappy in our marriage, had been for a few months and he was leaving. He didn’t want to work on the marriage, said the spark had gone and that he didn’t love me anymore. His mum passed away 2 weeks earlier and he said it made him realise life was too short to be unhappy!
A week later I found out that he had started talking to his sisters friend on Facebook 5 weeks earlier (at the time of his mums death), he told a friend he had felt ‘passion’ for the first time in years and despite not actually seeing her in person decided leaving our 10 year marriage to persue a long distance relationship with her made him happier than he’d felt in a long time.
He had never told me he was unhappy, he had been booking family holidays with me for later this year, decorating our house and ordering new furniture just weeks before he left - surely he wasn’t that happy to be doing all that!?
Since then he has been absolutely vile. He’s been telling me he can’t have our daughter on agreed dates because he’s “busy”. He won’t help with the sale of the house, the sale of the car and says other people manage to sort their lives out on their own so why can’t I!? He’s been meeting up with this new girl so refusing to have our daughter so that I can try and sort out the house viewings, car sale etc. I’ve been left to deal with literally everything with absolutely no empathy or compassion.
I just wondered if anybody else had gone through this and what the outcome was?
