As I posted yesterday, i felt fine with what was happening. Had a break down today. H has been gone 1 week. He asked me not to call him ever, said it was final, he was never coming back. How do you know if this is true? Do I grant him his wish and make no contact with him? This is killing me not knowing. H said when he moved out he was not paying for a thing, The only way that I can get him to help out till I get my crap together is filing or at least that is what I'm told. Can anyone answer me on how can you you be married for so long and just walk out and want nothing to do with spouse? Does this thing happen. We have no children together, I have a 16 yr. old D. People around me say things like they think he is going through mid-life, or depression. One min. he is happy then the next hates the world. What should I do. I'm afraid if I do nothing a D is coming, but if I push he will only come back out of guilt. He plans on renting a U-haul to take 1/2 of everything. We have gone through this before only to have him return saying he can't picture his life without me or he not ready to let me go. What do I do, please help!!Do i move forward in my life? I know it is to soon to date and have intention too, but D has a BF that is a single dad, and they both do the horse shows, he took my D w/him last night to one and I rode with them, I don't want H to think I'm dating someone, what do I do? They hang and he is sometimes part of the package. Oh will someone give me their input about what H is doing to our marriage or what is going on in his head. p.s. can't seem to response to post i write, so i will have to start another one if you have questions.

dakotax2 - I'm having trouble following your story. Is there another woman involved? How long have you been married? If there is an OW, is she married?

dakota...

my hope is that if you are HERE then you are spending time reading the available resources...as well as looking in to the resources of
his needs her needs
and surviving an affair....

and that if you are HERE that you are interested in finding a path or plan..that while it offers NO garuntees that your marriage will work..it often steers you on a path that is empowering and even life changing....

I went back and read some of your posts..
and you are sketchy with detail which makes it hard for people to help so if your really want help...the more you offer the more people can jump in..

1. your husband has left before...exactly how many times...and under what if any conditions do you take him back

2. there are previous affairs...are they emotional or sexual..and where does he meet these woman

3. your husband is unhappy that YOUR parents live next door....how much validity does this hold..what is YOUR relationship with your parents...what is yours....are they heavily involved in your business..do they like eachother

4. your husband is unhappy with your horses yet you speak of wanting another horse....what is the deal with the horses....

etc etc...

where is he living now
is there currently another woman

what and who can you expose to...

etc
