eyeswideopen agony auntHe needs to move out immediately. You mustn't live in the same house. Go ahead with the divorce. That is the only way you will find the peace of mind you so desperately seek. You are a very lovely person, friends won't be a problem. Good luck honey, make sure your lawyer gets you every penny you have coming to you.

Listen go ahead with the divorce...and do what I said about protecting your finances, your property etc...he is in a total panic because he never expected it and he doesn't care about you or what you mean to him, he is more concerned with what he is going to do, the humiliation of his mates and telling people that he was the one that fucked up...he doesn't want to come off looking the weaker link. Get out of this and start living your life properly for the first time. Don't do what he has done, or the taste of his own medicine thing, it just will make you feel worse and less empowered. Go through with this...this man is pathetic and he is dragging you down in his pathetic life if you stick with this. Let us know how you are getting on?

Ok, seems to use you for sex, you know he uses you for sex. Either let him or don't. Take it from someone who has been in the same relationship as you. Almost mirror image. My ex used to play about, come home with hickies on his neck etc, he used to say I stank, was fat, my hair looked awful, my family were controlling, you name it. He once bought a shoe box full of deodrants, shoe odour eaters etc, mouthwash and toothpaste for my birthday. He thought it was hilarious. I shower everyday and continue to do so I know I don't have to if I don't want to. I am perfectly happy if I miss a day showering, I look like crap sometimes or my hair needs doing, it only bothers me. He is the one that stank, it was his way of pathetically getting some sort of kick from undermineing another human being. You're husband doesn't deserve you. I'm 5ft 2" and weigh about 7 stone so I know I am not overweight, smell or am unattractive. Even if I was heavy, or whatever so what! Even his mates used to say, ooh that was a bit harsh wasn't it when he made a comment. He was a lousy husband and I made a lousy choice, hoping he'd see the light one day. Leopards don't change their spots. This man is emotionally and mentally crippling you. Start sleeping in the spare room, get a lock on the door of it. If he asks why or trys to kick it down, make sure you have a phone with you to call the cops. I used to hide evidence of phone bills or whatever in food I knew he wouldn't eat...cereal boxes, in the freezer, boxes of tissues, I even cut a slit in the side of my mattress and would wedge all my documentation in there.

Get out. He won't be so attractive to the women he texts 50 times or so when he is this sad bastard whose wife isn't being seen as the fool or he can laugh at you about with them. I wonder if she will be there to cook, clean, iron, run a home when the allure of fooling around has gone.

He is making you out to be a total door-mat. Pack up your stuff, take things that are important to you and go or if you need your house, change the locks, report he is an abusive husband and make sure the courts/cops are on your side. Talk to your bank about what will happen with your house, your mortgage, rent...apply for housing. Do or take however it takes to start a new life.

Start making copies of his phone bills, keep a diary of movements events (do it in code x for he went out, y for found another text message, z for any other things you are suspicious about) if you have a separate bank account or savings, move it to something in your name only, start preparing. Don't challenge him where he's been, or ask about a text, or anything, he wants you to react, so he can cripple you to other people with his big talk. Don't call these other woman, they aren't going to say anything, it is just a process for you, of trying to just 'do' something to get some resolution.

I got a locker at my local bank (try your post office or railway station) and started putting stuff away bit by bit, money, jewellery, photos, credit cards etc, I started transferring money as I was working at the time, that I earned and was putting it into our joint account then moving it via internet to another account he didn't know about . Get a pay as you go phone or create a new email account and log on to it at internet cafes where people can contact you, like social workers, domestic crime people and close on around him, instead of on you. You don't need him. Do not tell anyone what you are doing, even you're closest mate. All it takes is there husband to get it out of them and your screwed. Be confidential, do this on your own. You don't need to talk to anyone about what you think or feel. Just start doing it.

I was relieved the very first night that I never had to think of him again. I've never ever regretted it ever. I am 33 and was with this man for 11 years. We have a child together and I do not regret it kicking him out, loosing my house, being skint, loosing all our mutual friends or being married. It is hard but I think I am such a better and good person today not to have him draining away my life or my daughter. It's that easy.

hey girl I think that marrying this guy in the first place was wrong. I mean I am not married yet but i go to college and i study media and i know i wouldnt just marry a girl cus she's sexy but i would want her to think like me and to love me and treat me well so that i could treat her well if you know that living with this guy is only gonna bring you problems then leave him, tell him you want divorce, you wanna live with someone that loves you and only you and doesnt mess around with other women. So my advice leave him and find someone you like and he likes you for example you said u smoke well then you gotta find a smoker. Someone that will share with you the same feelings, I hope i helped, thank you.

Listen to them... cause the ones who posted before me are right. You are a human being and deserve someone better. You shuldnt have to take crap from him, especially if he is cheating. Tell him to shape up or leave him, but dont let him be a monster to you and treat you like your dirt, cause your better than he will ever be!

eyeswideopen agony auntYour husband is treating you in this horrible way because you've been allowing him to. Tell him in no uncertain terms that his treatment of you is unacceptable and that the phone calls and text messages to another woman must stop. If he doesn't shape up then I would ask for a separation. You could try marriage counseling but for some reason I think he'll never go. The main thing is not to put up with this behavior towards you be very calm but clear when you talk to him. Good luck you deserve much better.

You're husband doesn't kiss you, he has quick thoughtless sex with you, he criticises you, he won't go out with you, and he is texting another woman, and you want to know what to do?

You are obviously an amazing woman - you gave up smoking, you lost 5 stone, and you are obviously very kind and caring.

Leave this man and find one who will love you - who kisses you, who wants to walk in the park with you in the rain, who wants to make love to you for hours, who is honest and faithful, and who talks to you.
