Hi HTM

I'm also in the UK, but about 400 miles to the North!

I've just had a read through your thread on newcomers and I have to say, it's not abnormal at all. Yep, that LBS diet works wonders and the insomnia just sets it all off nicely.

When I look back now, there were all sorts of warning signs that I didn't pick up on. Feel free, if you've got a few years, of reading through the 19 threads of mine on newcomers! Or, alternatively, don't and I'll let you know that my W also went down the separation route via a solicitor. Whatever you do, don't feel pressurised in to signing a separation agreement, or agreeing to anything. I didn't, but we still sold the house.

As for OM, I can't say about mine, but who knows. Sadly, it's a feeling you'll get use to shrugging off. The snooping will become less as well as you knuckle down for a bear fight. You're goal right now is to look after you and your kids. They have to be the object of your primary concern. Right now, your W can't be trusted to behave normally, so you have to be the better parent.

Clothing changes and teeth whitening are normal, as is, apparently, surgery. My W has just had a tummy tuck, so stand by for that one.

Listen to Wonka, sandi2, Cadet, Jack3B and Job. They're the experts around here (they have all been through it, or inflicted it on somebody) and give invaluable advice.

Don't give it!
