  • still in shock

    Hi, i'm new to this website. Just wanted to vent about my situation. My husband (married 9 years, together 14 years) left 3 months ago to be with another woman. We have 3 children and they are very upset and angry at him. It seems while I was working he was having an affair with this woman at our trailer park (classy eh?) he would take the children up there and instead of spending time with them was spending time with her. She's 42, 11 years older than him and has 2 teenagers. I know this person and thought she was nice. What a joke! How could both of them do this to their children? They expect everyone to accept this new relationship right away. He moved out and stayed at a rooming house then moved in with her! Unreal. And right away he pulled out of our joint bank account , retained an expensive lawyer, threatened to take away the car I drive, the house we live in, told me to move out, said he would get sole custody because he makes more money than I do. When he left I asked for a trial separation with counselling he said no, and told me and the kids about his new woman. He says he wants to move on with his life, wants freedoom, too confined. We had just bought a house 6 months ago at his insistence, with my mom co-signing on it. He also says he'll stop payment on house causing foreclosure. He has also put thousands of dollars on his credit in 3 months, we did used to fight about money. He is being so selfish only thinking of himself. And the cruel things he said to me on the phone hurt me deeply. Anyways I used a paralegal to respond to his court application, and he will get served next week at his girlfriends apt. She did such a good job, I got him on Aldultery, Abandonment, threats. I'm asking for spousal support which he says I won't get, his income is triple mine and I stayed home for many years with the kids. I am out in the workforce now.
    He better not think that he can just forget about us. His GF is upset that she is mentioned in the court papers but I don't care. I know that I'll move on with my life, raising my children and becomming more independant. Just remeber what goes around comes around.
    Thanks for listening

    Being betrayed by a spouse is very difficult to get over emotionally, especially when there are children involved. You still will be tied together as the parents of your children, for the rest of your lives.

    Make sure you hire good counsel to represent you.

    You seem to have a positive attitude about moving on with your life. Keep the faith.

    Good Luck

      Good luck with everything. And keep your chin up. Saying that you will move on and take care of your children and become more independant is a great sign that you will be just fine!

        I am always amazed at how nasty people can become in these situations. And we did not all marry monsters! They turn on you when they feel guilty and threatened, I guess. I love that the girlfriend is mentionned in the papers! Can you actually do that? I'd LOVE to do that....

            I suspect that the more acrimonious situations get posted on this forum. One ones that didn't marry monsters, don't need to vent .

            You can obtain a divorce based on adultery, but it is best to wait out the one year separation period.

            Often in custody, access & support issues, the mud can sling in legal papers and affidavits, and yes, name the girlfriend.

            Best to try and keep a cool head, sometimes the emotions get in the way, and can drive legal fees skyrocketing.
