Hi everyone this is my first post so please be easy with me. I’ve been married for 20 years to dh and have 5 beautiful kids. Our relationship like everyone else had its ups and downs yet we stuck together through it all. If u ask if im happy I would say im secure and now made this life which is fine. Last few years have been tough as seeing changes with dh for example not answering my calls, staying out late and just generally not giving me much attention. Our sex life doesn’t exsist which doesn’t bother him and to be fair I didn’t make a big deal due to him feeling embarrassed about his ed.
I had been having a feeling he might be cheating but I tried ignore this and try carry on with our lives. He’s very protective and feel like he would question everything to me but I’m very laid back and just let him be which could be my fault.
last week I don’t know what made me do this but I seen his Snapchat pop up a few times and he just kinda ignore it and turned phone over which I found weird. I went and made a fake account and added him to it( what was I thinking) I don’t even know why I did it but the feeling just kept coming to do this. Anyway after a few hours he added me and said hello. I said hello back and he asked me where I was from so I kinda just went with it and made up a character. He then asked me for a picture and he sent his picture straight away. I asked if he was seeing anyone and he said no he’s divorce with no kids!!!! Wtf!!! I was shaking and just logged out. He came home from work like normal and I just carried on like normal. I don’t know what do with this information? I can’t confront him as I’m terrified about breaking up my family yet I can’t go on like this knowing he is doing this crap. He’s sent a message today saying let’s meet up wtf! I’m such a mug! I don’t even have the balls to confront him as he will turn this on me

Drag this out as long as you are able to and in the meantime stash as much cash as you possibly can into your own account - even invent replacing expensive things to get more money from him. retrieve all birth certificates, passports etc for yourself and the children and screenshot all his incriminating messages too.

Try to carry on as normal for as long as possible to accumulate as much as possible and then arrange to meet him.

You are worth more than this berk.......Hold your nerve, stay strong and walk away.

I’ve just got out some paperwork and hid them so I won’t need to worry when it comes to picking them up.

Just remembered I’ve booked him golf for the weekend in France with his club and organised it for him as he’s been working so hard. Was a Christmas gift for him from the kids and me

Don't pack for him or help him with clean clothes or anything. Use this weekend to get organised.

Stunnershaz · 13/12/2024 16:13

I won’t meet up but I will send a friend see if he turns up and while he turns up il be packed up and gone

You should tell him to leave. Have your mum there.

You have done nothing wrong.

The house is not just his, it's YOURS too. It doesn't matter whose name its in, the court sees you as equal.

Can you get your money back and then give him a different ‘surprise’ trip that in the end you will end up doing instead?

AdoraBell · 13/12/2024 17:19

I would get my ducks in a row, make sure I have bank/investments/pension statements all other certifications. Then keep the conversation going and arrange to meet. Then take a friend or sibling and enjoy his reaction when him not to bother coming home.

Could you say you are worried about finances? Or say you’ve decided to book a family trip for next year instead. Or does he know about it? If he knows about it then it might be better to leave it. Otherwise book a different trip for his gift, book it all in your name and then you take the trip without him when the time comes.

Just to echo a PP. Send him the message saying youve shown his photo to a mate who's said she knows his wife and that he has 5 kids. Tell him he's a dick and that you've sent screen shots of his message to the friend and then block. If he's abusive, all this isn't worth it. Then watch him sweat.

If then you want to confront him, send yourself the screen shots from a made up account and then say something about it. You can't be blamed then.

DON'T follow this advice. (Not yet, anyway). He's already well versed at the deceit and hiding things from you @Stunnershaz & this would simply be giving him a head's-up that he's been found out or is about to be.... so he'll rapidly destroy evidence, prepare stories, hide assets, and be even more prepared than you.
As difficult as it may be you NEED to use this window whilst he doesn't realise you're wise him to yet, in order to get your ducks in a row...get some legal advice NOW as the week nearing Christmas will have less professionals available.
Let that expertise guide you on imminent safeguards to take, & where you stand re house, car, teens, etc, and what info/docs you should be compiling, before he hinders your efforts.

A trend I’ve noticed on MN is that the men that play golf are usually the biggest pricks!

Yes. I agree. She is in the most powerful position she will be in while he doesn’t know she knows. She can get her ducks in a row and prepare to leave with the scales tipped in her favour and safely.
