So I posted on here about 2 weeks ago about getting a divorce
Hubby instigated divorce, completely in his typical passive aggressive way of ignoring me for weeks on end. Didn't come home three nights (not in a row). He has moved into the spare bedroom yet asked for sex twice?? He was refused on both occasions. Things have become unbearable but I have at least another two weeks here with rent etc. we rent and he says he will keep the house. So all in all this is 2 weeks of hell. I hacked into his email account (yes I'm ashamed of it but whatever) to see... He has joined dating websites?? Like seriously what the fuck??? I'm so devastated this has happened. I checked out the profile and it's a fake name with no picture but still and he has messages a girl in an area in which he works saying how are you or something equally as lame. I hate him. I'm devastated this is the man I married. I also feel very very embarrassed . If anybody in real life knew this I would die of embarrassment.
I'm so sorry you're going
I'm so sorry you're going through this? Must you really stay 2 more weeks? Isn't there any family or friends you could stay with? You really need to get out of that situation!
Hugs, and good luck to you!! You're going to have a MUCH better life once you're done grieving this relationship, you just wait and see!
How can you "love" someone
How can you "love" someone for 4 years and after two weeks you've joined dating websites!?? What kind of man is that?
My ex husband. After 10
My ex husband. After 10 years together, marriage, 2 children. I asked for a divorce, within 2 weeks he was on dating websites AND meeting (strange) women, within a month he'd met "the love of his life"
They moved in together 3 months after we separated....
FF 4 years, they just got married in Italy 2 months ago.
Meh.
Stop looking (not that I object on any grounds apart from that it is hurting YOU) Stay for the two weeks if you need to, get yourself together, ignore the prick and grieve, then MOVE ON.
I am so sorry, I know this is hard, and it hurts but it will get better I promise you that.
I'm devastated never thought
I'm devastated never thought it would come down to this . I actually feel sick.
i am so sorry to hear this.
i am so sorry to hear this. it is indeed devastating to learn your perceptions about a spouse were incorrect.
please take care of yourself now. financially and physically. make sure your health does not suffer. look for support from family friends or professionals. you can move through this.
I am in no way defending your
I am in no way defending your STBXH but .... the day my XW moved out of our marital home I had a date that evening. I had not planned it but as her tail lights went up the driveway I was on the phone calling up old girlfriends. I had several dates the first week she was gone and I had more intimacy in what had been our marital bed that week than had happened during the entire 2.5 years of our marriage. Her well used body parts had been accepting deposits from every available pecker for nearly our entire marriage. Her very active sex life was happening everywhere but at home and with everyone but me. I was pretty much a monk.
I changed the locks the day she moved out and for the next several months she pounded on the door regularly. A door that I often answered in nothing but a towel, smelling of passion, with a naked or semi-naked woman standing behind me. }:) XW had moved out to move in with her geriatric Fortune 500 executive sugar daddy but for some reason got very emotional when I was moving on, dating, and entertaining women in the home she left. :?
Do not lament your STBXH's complete lack of character. Get ready, move on, and enjoy your new beginning. The sooner the better.
You will move on to a quality life and happy future. He will wallow in his complete lack of character.
Grieve, it sucks having a marriage end. Engage in the grieving process but ultimately ....... Be happy!
Thanks that was lovely. Yes
Thanks that was lovely. Yes he does have a complete lack of character. I just feel awful. I don't even know where to begin moving out. We have a wedding that we have to attend together Saturday and apart from the groom neither of us know anybody else there?? Eugh
I am going to venture a guess
I am going to venture a guess that if you ONLY know the groom (not even the bride!) then you don't really "have to" attend at all, let alone together! I wouldn't go, if it was me - better to make the break than pretend to be a happy couple, even for a night.
Guys rushing out to join
Guys rushing out to join dating websites first thing after a breakup seems to be a very common theme.
It shows the mentality of guys in general, and the poor character of your STBEXH in particular.
Just look at Rags' story....if my SO cheated on me, I'd probably be a weepy mess, drinking a lot of wine and doing a lot of online shopping. Rags, on the other hand, went on a sex binge that probably makes my credit card balance look tiny in comparison.
It's a men vs women thing, in my opinion. Please don't be down on yourself. You are grieving, which is normal, but it's not about what you did wrong or how you were inadequate, it's all about how he can't stand the idea of being alone and wants a warm cave to dive into immediately.
((Hugs))
Of course you're sick.
Of course you're sick. You've put everything into the marriage only to find out the guy never really loved you. He loved the idea of getting regular sex, that's it. Some guys are that ruled by their penis. Be overjoyed that you found out before you were dragging a couple of kids out the front door.
All of your dreams and expectations are melting in front of your eyes and all of your friends are going to feel pity and talk about you. For about a day. Then they'll get on with their lives so don't spend a lot of time being embarrassed. Maybe a half day will do it.
You really need to get out or get him out. Can you find a good enough reason to raise enough hell he'll leave for good? I mean total bitch, putting his life in danger by staying? Stark raving crazy? Maybe the dating sites is enough? Let all your hate and venom spew out and drive him out? Throw some dishes? Threaten his car windshield with a baseball bat?
I'm not condoning his
I'm not condoning his behaviour but this is just a thought that occurred to me as I read your post that may make you feel a tiny bit better? Not sure though :/
Generally, from what I've experienced from my life, and my girlfriends lives, men and women seem to react differently to the end of a relationship.
When I splt from my ex after maaany years, he was dating a girl within a week. They were together for a year or two (not sure, but I think it was quite a while) I was SO embarrassed I can't even begin to tell you. All of our mutual friends knew HE was happily with someone, and *I* was still single. It made me feel like something was wrong with me that I couldn't have moved on as quickly as he had.
At the time, I was devastated to find out that he'd moved on so quickly, and then to find out a year or so later (I really can't remember how long they were together) that the relationship lasted quite so long, I must admit I was kind of sad, (and still embarrassed) as the bitter part of me had hoped he'd get together with someone then have it fall apart, so he'd hurt like *I* had been hurting, whereas he was still in a relationship.. Petty I know, but that's how I felt.. Anyway..
Me? It took me two and a half years after breaking up with him before even *thinking* about seeing another guy.
It may not be a case of "he never loved you" ..it may simply be a case that men and women's brains are wired SO differently that we just can't comprehend it.
((hugs)) ..you will get through this tough time and you'll be FINE.
Thanks to everyone for their
Thanks to everyone for their comments. I haven't really had the time to digest what he has done I've been so busy with work so dreading this weekend where I will obviously have time to come to terms with it. Feel sick the thoughts of leaving my house and him and ss being there carrying out their lives without me as if I never existed. It's a sad thought
here are more hugs.
here are more hugs. tolerating a loveless marriage takes nerves of steel and will break your heart. be tough and put yourself first in your happiness. this is not about you but him.
Why would you leave your
Why would you leave your house? Change the locks and put STBXH and his spawn on the curb.
I understand exactly how you feel. I have been there with the exception that there were no children involved in my first marriage. I stayed in our house, she left. You should force the same.
IMHO.
