H ‘gone fishing’

H disappeared first thing this morning muttering something about going fishing. By the afternoon I tried to call then sent a message to remind him of something we had on in a couple of hours. Eventually responded to say that he was going to be night fishing & would be back in the morning. In this weather.

On a scale of 1-absolute bullshit, he’s a massive liar isn’t he?! There has been infidelity which he would swear is over.

Sorry op
don’t waste energy on his bullshit lies, of course it was going on before you split
I’m afraid there’s nothing you can do about the children being around her. Just got to crack on and make the most of your own life now

I don’t believe children should be introduced to new partners for at the very least 6 months.

And of course it will be clouded. I can’t imagine may it wouldn’t.

Sooo…there was definitely someone else (shocker, I know) he’ll never admit that it started prior to us splitting, but I know.

Now I’m struggling with accepting the idea of my children being around this person. & I’m not sure if that’s mostly clouded by the nature of it, or if it’s reasonable to say that I’m not comfortable with it 1. At this stage 2. When I know absolutely nothing about this person

I think your kids woll have enough with the split without meeting GFs. I think its fine to say to xH for now youd like him to avoid introducing her

Muggymcmug · 09/05/2026 09:52

I think that’s a big part of what I’m struggling with, I’ve told him I’m not comfortable with it and think it’s far too soon, but ultimately there’s nothing I can do about it.
I’m pretty certain that he’s had eldest sleepover at her house. I know the town she lives in but that’s it, no name or anything.

Have you separated? Got your finances sorted out? Hope you have had some support in the last few months.

Good riddance to bad rubbish!

@Muggymcmug You deserve so much better the person you are now separating from.

Agreed that it seems soon for your DC to be meeting the "new" woman in your STBX's life.
