It’s my birthday next week

9 years ago DH had a short affair. We worked through it and all has been fine for a number of years.

OW had a significant birthday this week. I’ve noticed a transaction on the online bank account, which I never look at (via PayPal which he rarely uses). This set my spidery senses going. It’s from a store I never shop at and I didn’t know that he knew it even existed.

I’m now waiting to see if this present materialises. If it doesn’t it’s a deal breaker. I’m on zero tolerance.

Feeling nervous

OP, you are Richard Curtis and I claim my two hundred pounds.

ArcaneWireless · 12/07/2023 22:24

Enough. Enough now.

@Rosietheravisher

Yes it’s real, and if you read my posts they’re not weird. Others have posted, like the one you quoted, but they’re not my words.

You accuse me of lying and others of being drawn into the thread but you’re the one who appears to be over invested and unnecessarily confused by it all.

But yes, enough now.

Forgive me, OP. When I get a bee in my bonnet I find it hard to let it go. I still have questions, but you're right - enough now.

😂 @Rosietheravisher

That’s fine. I can understand why you have questions and find it difficult to understand, I really do.

I’m happy with my life and confident I made the right decision staying in my marriage. I absolutely have not just had one twinge in 9 years and anyone who has gone through similar will know it’s a long hard slog to get through. You have to be believe your relationship/partner is worth it, and most aren’t.

The thread wasn’t started as an invitation for posters to question my life and marriage as I make my own decisions on that, I think I just needed the support and virtual ‘you can do this’ had my worse case scenario come true.

Quite happy to discuss it more and answer questions, but please only quote me.

OP you should do AMA - how I survived my husband's cheating.
