Dear Snodderly, Thankyou so much for this; your kindness is very much appreciated. Sometimes I believe that the man I love is still there somewhere.....but there is such extreme change. I also think that he is not the sort of man to make the choice to work hard at this marriage; and I am. I feel that happiness is possible in my life if I make it happen. To think that it could be with my H seems impossible now........the question is when people decide to stand for their marriage at which point do you see and admit that your H's actions seem to be giving you little reason for hope. I am trying hard to get on with my life and to look after my D7; my H, since the interim barring order hasnt even rung her to see how she is. He is with OW and they have begum what is a new life with each other; he has moved into her house, but he is paying her; she is an employee.......I think its sick really. I look at my D and I cant for the life of me understand how a man could do this to his family. He said that he wanted out, his marriage is over and he has moved on.......after 4 months? He is now not emailing me; all arrangements re our daughter is now done through solicitors; he wants nothing to do with me and is sticking to it; no contact. I am a good person who is loving; a good mother and a good friend so I simply dont understand why he is doing it with no guilt. Validation from OW? Has he found new happiness? Could someone give me some feedback? I know I sound like a broken record!
