Some solidarity in having told him it's over

Just looking for some solidarity.

Husband has been repeatedly unfaithful.

I told him it's over. He's been trying to cling on to the hope that it's not.

Told him to look for somewhere to live. I think he gets it now and is giving me the silent treatment. Handy for reading my book and MNing.

I'm doing the right thing... Right?

Absolutely. But he won't believe you. He'll go through all the stages. Ignore all until he gets to anger then get him away from you asap. Also, take no notice of the apologies and begging.

100% right and congratulations
Do not go back on anything
Grey rock him
Welcome to the rest of your life!

How many times does he think you should forgive him cheating on you?
Keep pointing out that he made the choice to stick his dick where it had no business going and the consequences of that are on him.

Yes you are! Stay strong because you are not alone going through this trauma process.

Without getting too personal, don’t be like some women who limp along in a crap relationship for far too long.

Be proud that you’ve set your boundaries. That takes strength of character. Well done.

Good on you. But you need to be the one taking the steps. He's going to do all he can to drag his heels.

See the divorce lawyer ASAP.

Frankly he has a cheek to be hanging around after he's been caught cheating. I suspect his brass neck will continue indefinitely.

Reassuring for sure, thank you everyone.

I have no doubt that he merely wants to be keeping up appearances of a marriage rather than him actually loving me.

Mine is pissed off and treating me like shit but it's because he doesn't know what to do without me.
