May I’m so sorry you are going through this painful experience. Your H has reached a new low in lies and deceit. Of course he knew that sleeping with her in Feb was a 10 for you. You had the STD screening and then he slept with her again without telling you? That’s such a disrespectful thing to do?

Your H is acting in a very cowardly manner. He’s pushing you to breaking point, he’s relying on you to crack so that you make the decisions for him. There is no hiding this from the children unfortunately. Without telling them a thing they will now pick up on the animosity or lack of communication and affection between you, or the fact he’s moved to the basement, and it will be destabilising for them. He needs to understand this. No he can’t be forced to leave the FAMILY and MARITAL home, but if he stays, at what cost to his children?

And what’s with all this BS from AP, thinking about getting back with her ex (what- is that from 2+ years ago)? How is it these WAH don’t see the manipulation being dealt out from the AP, but when it comes from the LBS it’s controlling? Ugh why is it so hard for H to see through these tactics from AP - I slept with someone else, I’m moving on , I’m getting back with my ex and we’re going to quarantine (aka F) for 2 weeks . I would be running a mile if someone tried to manipulate me like that!

Keep strong May, you deserve so much more than this half-wit of a H. {{Hugs}}
