I finally got my own apartment and left my husband 2 weeks ago today. Im honestly surprised how civil he's been. But I knew that he'd be with other women immediately, and I thought I was okay with that. The fact that he's still even with nothing to lose because I left, lying to me about being at another house is driving me crazy. I have his location and drove by there the other day so I know. Its. It healthy for me to concern myself with I know. But I cant handle the quickness and the lies. I know this is how he copes, he cant be alone and probably why hes being so nice after I left.

Well first of all congratulations on your new apartment and new chapter in life. At first it’s going to be hard that the lies and other small things are going to bother you because you love this man. That was suppose to be your person. You spent everyday with that person with how ever many years BUT in order for you to move on, you’ll slowly have to stop worrying about his actions. What he does and says. If turning off his location is an option then maybe you should do it but if it’s a safety thing when his taking your guys babies and it’s something that brings comfort to you maybe just do the “share fire 24 hr”
I went thru a similar situation years ago and I know how you feel and what is going thru your head but over time I started to realize all the red flags. The many lies. And the bad behavior that was in front of my face and never once did I think it was a red flag.
This new chapter for you should be healing and finding yourself again.

As someone who used to move on quickly I’m going to tell you this. He is not doing well. The person he got with is also not okay. We seek sick minded people to help fill us up. I know from years of being untreated with a personality disorder which caused me to do dumb stuff and also discard of others. We seek vulnerable people. For example I got with a guy who had money. I took $30,000 from him and stringed him along for 6 months until one day I got bored and I got with another guy younger than him and more adventurous. I didn’t tell neither of the guys. They both had trauma. Whether it is childhood or relationship. We act kind because we are feeding… if that makes sense. We are feeding with the new supply until we get bored or we cry back to our old person. You need to get stronger before he tries to come back. This man might throw some indirect hints that he regrets it and blah blah blah. You also probably have trauma from this entire shizzz so treat yourself kindly. 💜

Being there for your babies thru this hard time as well. Life isn’t easy. And you did the right thing. Your respected yourself and your kids before letting him walk all over you.
Maybe if you can, get therapy to maybe help you or have somebody to talk to.

Don’t let other people actions control yours.
That’s something that is probably the hardest things to learn but sometimes you have to be selfish.

Wish of luck girly 🫶🏻🫂 you can do this.

Turn off the location tracker and move on with your life.
Remember the reasons you left and stick to your decision.

How do you handle finances as a part time worker and your spouse makes significantly more than you and holds it over your head?

So frustrating that I’m not allowed to spend money but he flippantly can whatever he wants. I am the default parent, and just because I don’t get a paycheck doesn’t mean it’s not work I deserve a reward from. I feel so alone.

How would you react ?

Today was my husband's day off and he woke up around 6 having coffee in bed and was on his phone. . At 7 a.m my little boy woke up and asked to go pee then at 7:30 asked to eat. I then took him and went downstairs to make breakfast and he got so frustrated and started an argument that on his day off he can't relax. I must say he was not sleeping, he was just staring at his phone and now he ignores my child and me.

Spouse going to be away for work for half the week for most of this month maybe more .. any tips for me? Details below

So my husband is going to be working away from home and staying in a hotel for about half the week every week this month and possibly longer. This is entirely new to us. My son is 3 and has never experienced his dad being gone for that long. I don’t think he will be entirely devastated honestly because I’m the preferred parent but I still expect some challenges. Some things to consider: I do have some family in the area, I don’t drive and the grocery store in walking distance is expensive lol. So we plan on making sure I have a good grocery stock and can ask for help if I need it I guess for during the day .. but any other tips? I can’t shake the feeling that I’m missing something I should be preparing to make it easier in advance ..

If you’re not close to your mom - what went wrong?

Now that I have kids I want a strong and close relationship with my babies. Something I didn’t have with my mom and still don’t.

My mom and I see each other once or twice a year and that’s if I go there to visit her. We don’t talk on the phone unless she wants to call me to ask my younger sisters to go back home.

Never comes over to see my 3 kids never calls to check on them avoids me when she sees me out with my family.

When I was a teen we argued non stop. For years until I left the house. But before that I was always the good child always listened always did what she asked. I was the oldest so did everything for her went above and beyond. I bought up my younger sisters stayed up late nights fed them changed nappies bath them took them out on weekends. My sisters don’t remember her doing any of these things because she never did them. And now she hates them staying at my house she calls non stop.

She’s manipulative and twists things a lot. I have other siblings and she pits us against each other without us realising. Only now as an adult I’m picking up on things and how she manipulates around things.
