Hi Nicole

Wow! You’re already at your 5th thread! I think you once replied to a post on my thread. I tried to read your story but I couldn’t read everything. I just read your first post in each of the 5 threads smile Anyway, I’m sure you got plenty of great advice from the others.

I just wanted to highlight a few things that came to my mind while reading:

1. Not sure why you keep repeating that your H is middle eastern. Trust me: this has nothing to do with his behaviour. You could have been middle eastern and him American and he would have behaved the same way.

2. I’m sure you know by now that this has nothing to do with you and all to do with him. I’m sure everyone told you that in your 5 threads smile

3. You have been very very patient and very forgiving. I am not sure any person deserves that much patience, love and kindness while behaving in such disrespectful way. I don’t think this man deserves you.

4. You are right that his behavior could affect your child in some way, but I’m sure it will be better for her to have a happy mom, which will only happen when you let him go.

5. I know that you came to this forum seeking advice for restoring your M and not to hear people say you should move on, but his repeated behavior over such a long time seem to be really deep in his character. It would be a totally different story if this had happened after your child was a grown up.

My 2 cents! It is sad to see people like that, but at least you can be proud of who you are.

P.S. I am no expert in any of this. These are just opinions. I could be totally wrong smile
