poor you!Fwiw i don't think it is a case of you being jealous and bitter at all! He's clearly gadding about at the idea of an outing with someone else, when if was dragging his heels when you mentioned it.

I've been with my oh for about 10yrs, and even the other night came back from work buzzing cos some lounge bar crooner has said something complimentary to him... It really got my goat, cos i know he'd freak if i came home telling the same tale. I gave mine a right good talking to... Men's egos are fragile.. Can you sit him down and have 'a chat?

sorry for double post, what i meant to say was to reassure him of your feelings for him, but to tell him that it's hurtful for him to behave like that. I have very similar issues. My patience is wearing thin too... I'll end up making my own life, without factoring him into it if he doesn't buck his ideas up.

ohhh love, tis awful for you. I thought when you were joking about how long you had been together it was ages. So sorry it's less than a year.

You need to talk properly to him. You need to take about 3 hours away from the children and talk properly about your relationship. It won't be easy, and only have a glass of wine or so. But you do need to talk coherently, on your own about what is happening with your relationship.

Good luck. I have been there before and as I say tis not easy. There will be tears and shouting, but hopefully it will resolve something for you.

BTW me and DH have been together 22 years, married 12. We met when I was 17 and he was 21. So if we can do it, anyone can!

maypole,

What was he like prior to you marrying him, how long had you been together before marriage?. I have a nasty feeling you are now seeing his true nature.

He sounds like he is projecting all his issues onto you.

I would seek legal advice re separation asap, having such information will make you better informed.

This is no healthy relationship for the children to be seeing, what are you both teaching them about relationships here?.

Quality · 26/06/2010 07:18

Oh maypole, I am so sorry.

Where is he now? Is there anyone who can take the children for the day so you can talk to him?
SOunds to me that he is used to women trying to pelase him but you have done the right thing and told him straight out that you won't put up with it. You say he was talking about his ex, I think a good measure of a man is how he talks about/treats his ex partners. Do you knw why they broke up?

Attila knows her stuff, btw. Talk to a solicitor asap.

LittleMissHissyFit · 26/06/2010 19:17

I agree with Atilla. He's on a slippery slope, this is not going to get any better love.

Sorry.
