Is my husband cheating AGAIN?? Help!

I would love some advice on what to do with myself and my life! I feel trapped and alone...

My DH has had 2 affairs over the years - which have totally destroyed my trust and turned me into a snooping doubter. We worked through these affairs and moved on - and out of London to a very rural life. He now works in London and I am on my own in stupid big house during the week (kids at school).

However latest issue arrived on Valentines. He had to go to a work thing and couldn't make it back til Sunday. I had said I didn't mind him missing Feb 14th - but never said lets ignore it totally! So on evening of 14th he didn't call and said he had fallen asleep. He came back on Sunday empty handed and hungover.

So alarm bells start ringing and when he came home I had a look through his bag. (Last year I found a filthy Valentine from some bint from his office - counselling and reconcillation followed that episode). And I found some pills called Cialis. Anyone heard of these? They are like Viagra but not immediate - you take them in the morning and guarantee a no problem hard on later apparently.

So I confronted him with them and he said they were for a friend. Comical really! i obviously told him I ddn't beleive a word and the only way I might beleive him was for him to hand over the tightly guarded blackberry so I could check for texts emails (it was clean but he has learnt by now having been caught out before this way).

Of course I think he may have been with someone else on the evening of Feb 14th.

I asked him to swear on our childrens lives that he had never taken one and he told me had taken one - on his own! Why?? He then changed his story and said that he had got them for us. That he had been worried about our sex life (?what sex life?) as he comes to soon, doesn't make me come and that he worries about hurting me. (I have an unfortunate cyst which occasionally flares up but hasn't been a problem for years)

Blimey this is getting personal!

Anyway his gist was that I should be grateful that he was concerned enough to go to the Dr and do something about our sex life. However when he is at home he slumps into bed, tells me life is shit and promptly falls asleep. I would be totally up for some action but he never appears to be - he never makes a move anyway.

What am I to make of all this? I dont really trust him.

I am lonely, unemployed (been a full time Mum for last 10 years and so am financially dependant) and feel my life is wasting away keeping house (badly according to him) for a man who has no respect for me, is constantly critcal.

I know lots of you will say - get off your arse and get a life/job etc. But I dont know where to begin... HELP!!

Wow I am GP and no way under any set of circumstances would I divulge that kind of info to anyone at all NEVER MIND the patients wife!!!!
this is way out of order and into serious suspension/striking off territory and

blinks · 24/02/2009 17:35

it's not true macdoodle

PottyCock · 24/02/2009 18:07

I'm baffled then - why would someone bother making all this up?

AnyFucker · 24/02/2009 18:08

blinks, if you suspect this post is not genuine, report it

it's a bit silly to keep jumping in with cryptic comments

Owls · 24/02/2009 18:09

Did think when I responded that it sounded a bit "chick lit" research. You know, I'd rather it was that than somebody actually living this way. ho hum

AnyFucker · 24/02/2009 18:25

Julia has posted several times on other r'ship threads

I think she is genuine

blinks · 24/02/2009 18:26

ooo i like being called cryptic.

makes me sound menacing.

AnyFucker · 24/02/2009 19:18

whatever floats ya boat

marie1979 · 24/02/2009 19:32

yes it does sound like it and i normally have a good hunch for things like that but if im wrong then hes a scumbag for liein to you your worth more than that. good luckx

blinks · 24/02/2009 19:32

oh yeah i love it. with knobs on

juliaruralwife · 24/02/2009 19:37

Wow - cant quite believe my story has caused controversy!

I would like to state that I am genuine. Wish I wasn't! Wish I could make up crap like this but sadly it actually is my life. And I am grateful to the kind people who have taken my issues seriously.

The Dr in question may well be very much in the wrong but he probably told me the info because he knows me and could tell I was upset. He also didnt figure that I was going to tell the world and get him into trouble.

But that is an insignificant part of my issue to be honest.

think their is a troll on here??? i totally belive her if u are friendly with a doctor sure they would tell their partner i know FACT

blinks · 24/02/2009 19:42

ok, at best your doctor is fucking unbelievably shit at his job.

marie1979 · 24/02/2009 19:43

i totally belive you juliaruralwife some people just come on here to cause trouble and to add a little fun in their life very sad i know im sure you would make a more out of this world type story if it wasnt true. anyway good luck sweetheart.

Flightattendant27 · 24/02/2009 19:52

Blinks I think you're being unnecessarily rude. Nobody has been hurt in the course of this thread apart from the OP.

Was it just the Dr thing? Because I can believe that quite easily. They're not all paragons of virtue especially when it crosses a personal/professional line.

AnyFucker · 24/02/2009 19:59

pretty piss-poor apology there, blinks

blinks · 24/02/2009 20:09

i didn't believe her because the doctor bit is RIDICULOUS, especially considering the nature of the medication.

i work for nhs and it is a big deal to breach patient privacy... a huge part of my job is to protect the privacy of patients so i find it very hard to believe a doctor would be so lax.

the consequences of the breach could be far reaching and used against the patient.

AnyFucker · 24/02/2009 20:24

Blinks I DON'T BELIEVE YOU

YOU DON'T WORK FOR THE NHS, NO WAY

At least I don't believe you have worked with any doctors if you don't think that on occasion they act like fuckwits and do something stupid (as in the OP)

prettyfly1 · 24/02/2009 20:28

Ladies, this is beginning to echo the convo that happened on saturday. Lets agree to disagree and blinks, unless a troll is proven mumsnet policy is not to be offensive - the poster is known and whether or not you believe it is irrelevant. You have been on this site for a long time yourself and you know how distressing it can be if someone gets it wrong. That wasnt very nice of you. There is no evidence to call troll so we really shouldnt be.

As you were

AnyFucker · 24/02/2009 20:30

< steps away >

thanks, prettyfly1

Ronaldinhio · 24/02/2009 20:41

Anyway he sounds really suss tbh and I don't think I'd trust him myself.

You also sound really unhappy though..surely there has to be more than this for you?

marie1979 · 24/02/2009 20:50

prettyfly are u talking to me?? if so dont forget im not the one saying this poor woman is liein and it sound as if binks is out to cause trouble just as he jumped and said julia was liein we all make mistakes

HappyWoman · 24/02/2009 20:54

Sorry to disagree but i know we have a family GP and although i dont know if he would give out lots of info i am pretty sure if i said it was ok he would tell my h and vice versa. My h has a medical condition and i know for a fact that our gp will oftern ask me about how he is doing - is he in the wrong?
Surely the only way it would be a breach is if her h were to complain and as it is the gp is backing his story.

But anyway back to op - i think you need to firstly decide if you want to save your marriage. Dont feel bad if you now want to get out - one of the things i have learnt since my h affair is that i will only stay in my marriage whilst it is good for me. Not that i am about to up and leave with every small hic-up, but if i feel unhappy i am now able to talk to my h and we find a solution together.
Either talk to him and find a solution that works for both of you or if he is not willing to compromise then you need to go it alone, and know that you will be better off.

if you do want to save it could you arrange to go on these work trips sometimes? Get a baby sitter and treat yourselfs to some together time.

Good luck with whatever you decide though.

blinks · 24/02/2009 21:01

shoulda kept my big trap shut.

still don't believe her though.

prettyfly1 · 24/02/2009 22:17

marie no not at all. I meant blinks. Gosh its getting a bit scary on here these days!!!
