Question

confused and riding the fence

So, yesterday I actually felt a little better because my husband and i talked for a while. It is like I thrive off of hearing him and need him to survive. I shouldnt be happy because of what he has done (cheated) but I find myself needing to hear his voice. But then we started talking about our furniture and who is going to get what when he moves out (our house is in foreclosure). the discussion of the bed came up and I fell apart. I just cant get the image out of my head of him being with someone else in our bed! He wanted to avoid hearing me cry so said he would call back. I want him to face what he has done and hear how he has hurt me so it upset me that he was like that. Then, today, he said he is going to try to move by his uncle's which is 3 hrs away. It just really hit me. Everything seems to be becoming so official that it is over and it is killing me yet we both are saying we havent decided on divorce. He told me at first that separating was good for us in some ways to figure things out but now says it was not a good thing. We learned that all it did was put us apart even more. So now here we are with him having cheated on me and I dont know what to do or what to feel. He is not asking for us to be back living together. He is putting distance between us. Also, I am afraid how this is going to affect our baby boy. I know he wont see him often with that much distance. I am back to feeling like my world is crumbling and Im alone. I hate all of this confussion and pain.

i felt as if my world was ending when he left me for that woman.but it is best if he moves, he isn't attempting to restore the marriage, he doesn't seem sorry. changes are hard, it takes awhile to get over missing someone no matter how many problems u had. expect it to hurt awhile, its like a death, its knowing the relationship failed, its also knowing he chose to be with her over u.but some things are blessing's in discuise.just accept it for what it is, and expect nothing from this man.

I cannot believe how closely our situations match....not just the situations, but the feelings, or emotional side of things are so similar to what I went through after I found out about my ex's affair, that its scarey!!

You need to get into counseling to help you get thru this. At least over this first really rough part. He/she might be able to help you live with the images in your head. Counseling will help tremendously. Give up thoughts of him facing what he has done. He's not ready for that  and he may never be. You have to take care of yourself and your baby boy. If mom is upset baby is upset. Just try to get thru each day and know that eventually it will get better.

Oh man do I know how you feel.  I have 3 daughters and a mil stbx.  Everytime he was away he was with another woman.  However, I only found this out recently with the last conquest.  We were married 20 years and spent 2 previous years dating.  Why chase a man?  If he doesn't want the relationship you will only be causing yourself more pain.  Really, I know, I did it.  Time and time again I would feel like I just couldn't be without him.  But since I made the decision not allow him to me through it anymore, I am a much happier woman.  My only regrets are when I think back and ask myself why I didn't leave sooner.  There is more to life than being faithful and devoted to a man who is not faithful and devoted to you.
