now i feel like it as my fault

OP posts:
goinginsane · 10/07/2005 09:23

he said he couldn't talk to me about how he was feeling before it happened.He wasn't sure what he wanted if he wanted the maraige to go on anyway because he wasn't happy and thought i would be upset.I felt like this a couple of years ago and we taked.we became stronger for it.I said why didn't you talk to me so we could have worked it out even if it end we could have talked about it.Instead he done that he can't even tell me why.He said he had everything a fantastic wife,a nice home,3 children and even he can't get his head around it.

This woman is not attractive,and boring.I said why her.He said because maybe that was a reflection of how he was feeling about him self.He wasn't looking for it she was laying on a plate and he thought someone else fancys me too and was flattered

This is so not like him.I am still in shock

doesnt sound like your fault at all. this sounds like a horrible situation. have you talked much- do you want to ? could you/ do you want to try counselling ( either alone or with him?)

goinginsane · 10/07/2005 10:14

i have talked to him alot.i even feel sorry for him and feel like i am a mug.my judgement is so cloudy i don't know what to think.Tis is the woman next door.She walks past me every morning on the school run,hanging her washing out e.ct.I have eaten 2 apples and a tin of soup since tuesday and i am still shaking

just seen him and all i want to do is make love to him. What on earth is that.Is this normal too

OP posts:
kath4kids · 10/07/2005 16:43

TBH thats all i wanted to do was to make love to him, think it must be bec we need to know that they stil fancy us i guess. If your feelings are that strong then maybe there is hope there that you can get through this. Don't know what i would do if i were still living next door to the other woman, i saw her in town on Sat and wanted to kill her so i cant imagine having to see her every day, especially in my case where i know she hasn't told her husband, think temptation would be there to tell him myself.

If you do decide to make a go of it is there any way you could sell up and move, not that you should have too but if its for the sake of your sanity it may be worth thinking about.

But for now you need look after yourself. Pleae eat, you might not feel better for it but you need every bit of strength you can muster right now.

Any chance of going to stay with some family, just to get away from her for a few days and begin to put things into perspective. What about getting family to look after the kids and you and hubby go away, you can then scream at him, cry at him, ask him questions without the distraction of kids and house work and her.

All the best hon big hugs and keep talking.

sorry goinginsane just posted under wrong name again this is hha, oh what the heck i give up on name changing made too many mistakes now anyway

goinginsane · 10/07/2005 22:23

i have just spoke to him again.I just keep asking him where,when,what did you talk about.She is a child minder and even meet him for a grope in a car park when he was in the car.For some reason this also has made me bloody angry.

OP posts:
kath4kids · 11/07/2005 10:46

For me I have had to put out of my mind the why's, where's, what did you talk about, what was sex like thoughts, just to keep my sanity.

I did ask all those questions initially but now i just try not to think about them. You will begin to feel better, and you will think about those things less, but for now its part of the being betrayed. Get all the questions out now. Hold nothing back and then just try and forget about it. Easier said than done i know.

Hi goinginsane - just logged back in after my weekend and wanted to check on you first! I am so so sorry you are going through this. It just sounds so awful.

It's horrid isn't it - you want ALL the details but yet they kill you! And I also suddenly wanted my exp like I hadn't for ages and couldn't understand why! That wore off though when I got really mad at him!

I think as maturer and kate4girls suggested you should think about counselling either for you or both of you and make a decision as to whether you call it a day or not really. But I realise it's very, very hard. It took me 6 months to finally decide we were never going to work and ask him to leave. But he wasn't really sorry and wasn't prepared to put any effort into fixing things and you can't do it on your own - you both need to be committed to it.

Thinking of you anyway.

Listmaker · 11/07/2005 10:53

sorry kate4kids not kate4girls!!

goinginsane · 11/07/2005 13:10

i cant belive this but at 10.30 last night her husband rang me and asked for my m.i.ls phone number wher dh is staying.i thought that maybe it was a good idea because he hadn't really had a chance to have a go at him yet (thought it would maybe move things along abit).I said well if you do that i will dail it from my home as i wasn't giving number out.Also i said i wanted to see her and just talk to her about it.I was up until 3 am this morning i am shattered.

I was proud of the way i conducted myself and didn't blow my top.I asked her why and she said it was because he was nice to her.he is a nice bloke and is nice to any female that gives him a bloody sob story.Too nice it would seem

OP posts:
kath4kids · 11/07/2005 22:30

oh do u know this has so many similarities to me coz i think tht why she had my dh too coz he listened to her and was nice.

Hope u got things out of your system. Well done you for controlling yourself. I went to the house next to hers today to see if any of our mail was there, it took me all my time to not go knock her door and have it out with her.

But apparantly she hid from me on Fri when we both went to pick kids up from school trip, and has been crying since, also she has now moved on to her bIL so we'll seee whehter he takes the bait.

you can do this. whatever decision you make

huggs and thinking of you

goinginsane · 12/07/2005 08:32

I sat there and said to her that i know she is jealous of me because of the fact that they had done home improvements the same as we had.I sat there and said to her i know you are jealous of me but you can do all you want and now you have done this but you will never be me i am me because of the person i am and nobody can ever take that away not even you.So you see you are stuck being the discontented,miserable person you are for the rest of your life.

I was so glad i was able to say that it made me feel better than when i hit her.

How are you now? is this helping you to?
I am so glad i am talking to you and very gratful that you have taken the time.
From your posts i can tell you must be very special

Well done Goinginsane, I bet that you being calm and controlled made those words sting even more than the slap you gave her!
You are doing so well

goinginsane · 12/07/2005 09:20

dosen't feel like it sometimes when the children have gone to bed though.Yes i hope i am being strong.I didn't cry in front off her.To be honest i haven't cryed that much as i think i am in shock.I think the worst time is in the mornings as soon as i wake up for some reason.Thank you for posting Lizzyloo

I have made my mind up that i am going to sell the house today.It has given me something to focus on

OP posts:
goinginsane · 12/07/2005 11:07

spoke to him on sunday and he said he still loves me.Yesterday i said can we spend the day together and try to talk about what we are feeling and he says he cant because it is too soon and he is not sure what he needs and that he cant give me any answers about why it happened..I am so confussed now.I know he loves me but i want him to want me and not his home his kids.

Was he just looking for a way out? this has bloody knocked me for six.

OP posts:
overdraft · 12/07/2005 15:54

when will i ever stop thinking off him touching her,having sex and they had oral sex

overdraft · 12/07/2005 15:54

there i have blown my cover now too.

kath4kids · 12/07/2005 18:38

I don't know when we will stop thinking about it, i'm so sorry he doesn't want to talk to you about it. well done for keeping your calm don't know if i could have done the same.

I know what you mean about him wanting you and not just the home and the kids. I said the same thing. If he was just here for the kids to walk out the door coz it would be easier to do now than in 6 months time.

We have interviews tomorrow, then on Thurs personel will meet and decide his fate. So we shoud know by the w/e whats what. Its driving me mad i just want to curl up in a ball and hide but i cant. I have bank reconciliations to do this evening, and all i want to do is nothing.

Keep it up you are doing so well. Yes this is helping me i hope you are gaining some comfort from other people knowing what you are going through.

overdraft · 12/07/2005 20:24

we ahve an appointment at relate on friday and he has said he didn't want to talk last night because he can't give me the answers.He wants to tell me something other than he was stupid but can't.he wants me back though.
I want him to get rid of his car because they had oral sex in there.I want him to change his phone number.I still feel sick.

I hope that you get what you want on Thursday.Would it mean you could move somewhere else and make a clean slate ? I think you are very strong it is something that you just find from with in. It's amazing.And you deserve only good things from now on.

I also keep thinking about Victoria Beckham i never really felt anything for her really but this happened to her in a very public way and i have total respect for he fighting for the man she loves and not losing him due to her pride being knocked.Just got to tell myself that.

I am here for you too to give you support.I think we both have guts.
Is your dh suffering too ?
Is your dh still suffering

kath4kids · 12/07/2005 22:42

I think we do have guts. Moving would mean a clean slate but dd2 has her heart set on welsh secondry school and has already started in June to do intense welsh course, so this is going to destroy her.

As for dh yes he is sorry and is suffering i think but as usual doesnt say very much which is what got us into this mess in the first place.

I know thinking about what they did drives u insane but please try and put it to the back of your mind, and think maybe of good times you have had together.

Not looking forward to the outcome of tomorrow and Thurs - having to tell the girls i think will be the hardest part yet. This is going to rock their world. But i do believe that whatever decisions are made will be for the best, coz we have to leave it in Gods hands.
