Sitting in my car trying to process that H has just told me he’s had an affair. Fucks sake.

I’m so sorry Flowers

Are you able to go back into the house or could you stay with anyone tonight? It’s very cold and wet out there 😪 do you have children?

Beachlives · 19/12/2022 01:15

i can go back as and when I’m ready to. 3 kids, all teenagers+
Just doesn’t feel real right now.

What an utter prick.

Are you ok? I'm worried it's so bloody cold out there. Is there anyone you can go to right now.

Beachlives · 19/12/2022 01:16

The weather matches how I’m feeling. I’m finding the wind and the noise of the sea quite therapeutic

Beachlives · 19/12/2022 01:18

Beachlives · 19/12/2022 01:19

He told me. We’ve had some real relationship difficulties but I thought we were actually through it and out the other side. Stupid

I understand how upset you must be and being by the sea is very calming. Did your DC hear any of it and do they know that you are physically OK as you are not home x

Autumnisclose · 19/12/2022 01:25

I wonder what has made him decide to confess. Particularly a week before Christmas. Seems like he had to.

Freeme31 · 19/12/2022 01:26

Don't make any decisions yet. Can you stay with family/friends for a few days to give you some space ? Time to process & think.

NotToBeOrToBe · 19/12/2022 01:26

Sorry you are dealing with this OP. Solidarity 🌹

Beachlives · 19/12/2022 01:28

I don’t think they heard. They’re all in their rooms. I didn’t shout and I left the house quietly. They’ll ring if they do.
apparently she’s likely to email me at work and tell me. So that’s nice.

Tannedandfake · 19/12/2022 01:28

Take care of yourself. I remember that dreadful, raw hurt

Beachlives · 19/12/2022 01:29

I don’t feel any yet to be honest. I’m sure it’ll come.
I have friends I can talk to when I’m ready.
A whole fucking year.

Oh beach, I'm so sorry this is happening to you. It's a pile of shit and he's a cowardly twat.
Don't rush anything, you are on no time line to do or feel anything.
Just focus on the very basics, rest, eat, hydrate.

Beachlives · 19/12/2022 01:31

fucking coward. And I’ve told him that.

OP posts:
GarageGalore · 19/12/2022 01:31

Gosh, that is a long time. I'm assuming he has ditched her hence the threat of emailing you?

Celeste777 · 19/12/2022 01:31

Fucking coward.
Telling you because she's threatened to do it for him.

Beachlives · 19/12/2022 01:33

Yeah he ended it a while ago apparently but she’s not happy about it and is now threatening to tell me.
Dont blame her, he’s pretty much admitted the whole ‘my wife doesn’t understand me’, ‘we’re on the verge of splitting up’ bullshit lines. I feel sorry for her to be honest.

OP posts:
Celeste777 · 19/12/2022 01:35

Urgh. Did he tell you who she is so that's one less shit surprise in the inbox.

Beachlives · 19/12/2022 01:35

A fucking year, a really shit year where our relationship has been very close to the rocks and we’ve allegedly been working things through. Unbelievable
