< going for long drives at 5am >
Kittya, you're married to Tiger Woods, aren't you?!

Clever: Giving you the perfume OW wears (Luckily, I loved it - I still love it, but he doesn't love her anymore)

Stupid: Started referring to trousers as pants (OW was Canadian)

Very Stupid: Moaning OW's name in his sleep. Every woman, every time.

So Stupid It's Insulting: Left 2 dirty wine glasses & 2 dirty cups on table, plus bed sheets soaked in baby oil - and insisted I was
neurotically mistrustful

yeah that massage oil in the toilet bag is a dead give away!

PollyTechnique · 21/01/2010 22:55

And really, really for anyone having to cope with the fall-out of this type of betrayal.

kittya · 21/01/2010 23:03

Its amazing how most of us say we never saw it coming yet, look at the length of this list!! I think the whole tone of the thread has been pretty uplifting but my heart goes out to anyone who is going through it right now.-

HelishAngel · 22/01/2010 02:19

Well said kittya!

All the signs and symptoms, in my case, were there but for some time whilst floating around in the rosy glow of the 'good stuff' I chose to ignore them. Such strong gut feelings can't be ignored forever though, the cracks appeared and widened in the end by which time I was numbed enough to look for the real evidence, which I did indeed find. The rest is history...recent history though so I'm still healing and there is a way to go yet. Thank God for the inner core strength that I found to cope (pats own back - and why not) because I honestly don't know exactly how I did/have!

starting to shout when questioned....hoping to cover up guilty answer.

Not saying in the hotel he has supposedly booked whilst away on business.

Telling lies which have o be covered up by more lies....and then forgetting what was said.

skinsl · 22/01/2010 10:15

coming in late after a supposed night out with the boys, and he is sober

I had him change the sheets too... the one and only time!

ADifferentMe · 22/01/2010 11:22

Skinsl, I've had the sober one too! Also, coming home smelling very clean.....

alypaly · 22/01/2010 17:41

shower after the evil deed....yes a familiar sign

alypaly · 22/01/2010 17:42

alway saying there is a wrong number when he answers the land line

skinsl · 22/01/2010 18:34

how about logging out of hotmail, but he always used to just exit out??

You suddenly start getting lots of urinary infections etc / STD. (Here speaks the voice of experience)

nipscouldcutglass · 22/01/2010 22:23

pinkfluffy - poor you. what a selfish git to have not at least used protection.

PinkFluffyslippers · 23/01/2010 08:58

NIp - yes he is a selfish git. When I told the nice lady at the Clinic that he'd denied it she siad it was typical behaviour of an Iranian Male - she'd seen it lots of times before. (Depressing - strereotyping)

red37 · 23/01/2010 09:02

he starts smiling
late meetings etc

guttedandworried · 23/01/2010 22:26

Getting out of bed once he thinks you have dropped off to sleep.

Infact - lots of night time "activity" whilst he thinks you are asleep. Stuff like surfing for fanny on the net and texting the OW. Charging up the "other" mobile etc etc.

Lots of working late. Lots of general work commitments an opportunities seem to suddenly crop up over a period of time.

Toothpaste and aftershave in the car.

Car mileage suddenly seems high - when you sit back and consider he only actually drives 2 miles to work every day and the car is only 6 months old!

The christmas sale shopping was a real eye opener for me. He just got up the day after boxing day, came downstairs dressed showerd etc and told me and the kids as we were sat on the lounge floor building rubbish blummin Brbie cr*p that he was "rushing out to the sales as he had seen a real bargain on the net". He returned 8 hours later with 1 small bag!!

I actually cringe and bubble with anger when I think WTF did it not click sooner!!

Newlease, thanks to you have just inhaled half a pin of scalding tea and irreversibly damaged lung lining.

Hope lungs are ok.
