My heart is broken. I never thought he would do this. I don’t know how to confront him. I only got myself tested as he had penile discharge which we thought was UTI. But something in my heart said he did me dirty and he has. I have two kids. I’m so lonely. Family don’t know yet

Thank you babe. I need all this advice. I’m so lost. I hadn’t seen his face in days. And he hasn’t got in touch. Obviously he doesn’t care that much.

i fully well know my marriage is over.
in just want answers and the truth from him.

A man who cheats on his wife & mother of his kids has a different mentality from you (or any decent, authentic person).

Likewise one who does it without even practising safe sex .... He's not even risk averse enough to protect himself against diseases. Immature, reckless, risky mentality (and ok with risking your health too).

There are lots of people who don't act like that.
Then there are people like him.

It's easy to say as an outsider but it's a waste of your time thinking "he doesn't even care enough" about someone who has the character to cheat on their wife of years and to not even use condoms. There are lots of things wrong with him.

There's no point in applying normal "rules" or expectations with someone so immoral, risk taking and degenerate. He obviously has sides to him that he's hidden from you (and his family) for years. You were not seeing the real him.
He's a front.

He's probably avoiding you now because he doesn't want to face up to any questions or face up to you possibly saying your relationship is over.

Anyway, with at least two STDs, likely contracted on the last month or so; there is clearly a lot going on in his life that he's hidden from you. Whether it's other partners, prostitute use, possibly even a gay sex life .. who knows.
He's made sure he's thought to be working til late every evening; but who knows where he's actually been and with whom.

You've got to consider that when thinking "where is he, "he doesn't seem to care" etc

He didn't see the marriage how you see it. He couldn't have acted like this if he did.

Unfortunately you're not the first to be with a man like this and you won't be the last.

You may never get it.

I'm sure he's very keen to keep looking as good as possible to his family.

If he tells you, you'll probably tell them (and maybe tell your kids at some point).

He will keep trying different stories until he thinks you have accepted one. You know the only truth that matters. He had unprotected sex outside of your marriage, had symptoms of an STI and gave so little thought to you that he had sex with you!

Nothing else matters and he will lie and lie and lie again. Easy to say harder to do but you won’t get the truth from his mouth.

Stay strong and don't let him crawl back in to your heart. You and your children deserve better.

Mummaoftwoo · 26/08/2024 23:19

I asked him to leave he said no 😭

i just want to stop caring and thinking about him. I just want to switch off. When he’s out I’m thinking have you gone to see a prostitute.

then I think stop caring it doesn’t concern me. As it’s over right.

I'm sorry about your bereavement. You must also be involved in the mourning of them and any preparations for funerals.
Are there generally more of your own relatives around or more of his?

OhBeAFineGuyKissMe · 27/08/2024 13:46

Have you told anyone yet?

You can’t make him leave the family home but you can start the separation process. If you have a spare room move out into it. Stop doing anything for him -no food, cleaning or washing. And speak to a solicitor to start divorce proceedings.

He wants to be in denial and pretend nothing is wrong with the hope that you will eventually fall into line. After you have told people he will find that a lot harder.

Mummaoftwoo · 27/08/2024 22:52

My sisters are married and live in different cities but we are so close and then his family all this live here and so does my other sister brother and my parents. So more his but I also got mine, we both grew up in this town.

Apart from telling my friend I haven’t told my family yet. Oh I stopped doing everything for him since I suspected anything. My heart was telling me what I already knew before he even admitted it.

I am going to tell my sisters, as they are here now for the holidays I didn’t want to say over the phone. We are getting together tomorrow so I will mention it.

Telling them will be very cathartic. You will feel a weight off your shoulders to have someone to talk to.

AlhambraQueen · 03/09/2024 13:52

Any updates OP

Mummaoftwoo · 04/09/2024 08:03

Just that I’ve been treated and free of any diseases 🤢 and his gone, although he calls and text all day, blocked him he emails. Got a new sim to contact me. But his not living here. I told my family but I don’t want to make it a big deal for the sake of my kids. Things will change but I don’t want them to unsettled. They seem to be okay. I haven’t actually told them what happened just that daddy is getting a new house. My daughter went so your breaking up I said yeah something like that. My son really doesn’t have any idea.

my family were fuming and still are but asked for respect whilst I navigate this new life. I don’t want drama. I just want peace.

What a rat but I'm glad he's gone at last. Onwards and upwards

AlhambraQueen · 04/09/2024 12:37

How have the in laws been? Asking as i am from a bengali background. Its great you have your family's support. I'm so glad you had the courage to leave him.

Mummaoftwoo · 04/09/2024 13:11

well they are just so shocked. His mum said there’s no room in her house although she has 2 spare bedrooms. She keeps calling and saying I’m still her daughter in law. She knows his done wrong and supports me whatever I want. She just doesn’t want me to stop her from seeing the kids. Which I will never do .

Hey OP, how are you? I read your thread and I don’t know you but I am proud of you. You are a strong lady & you have shown him that you don’t need a lying cheating waste of space. Hope you and the children are ok
