I am really angry at my xws. He is so obvious and transparent.

No, he is not cheating on me, but he is not being honest with me either.

I can always tell when something is up.

It is always preceded by offering information that is not requested. In his case, he called me up yesterday, saying how he had to have some oil tested for work, and could possibly have to work today, depending on what he finds out.

When he offers information that I have not requested and is extremely nice, I get very suspicious.

It was followed up by him reaching for me multiple times during the night, (usually it is me that does the reaching) which really sent a red flag up.

The last time he was this nice was when he was feeling guilty about going out of state to visit his friends.

This morning he was extra nice, chatting, and saying he was going to drop in at the local yard to check his e-mail, (this he could do at home on his laptop), drop off his watch to be repaired, drop off laundry.

All this niceness had me really on edge.

I called him about an hour later, asking him if he wanted an egg omelette for breakfast. He didn't answer his cell phone and just returned my call 2 hours later. He said that something had come up at one of his work sites.

He now says he is going to call ds to see if he is going to pick up his new gun, and that he wants to go with him. (out of town)

Excuses, excuses, all add up to him not wanting to be home with me, and he feels very guilty about it. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

I wish he was just honest. I can understand needing to be alone sometimes, really, I do; what I can't stand is excuses, made in attempts to deceive me.

Just needed to complain to someone. This recovery business is tough when I am left guessing why he is being nice.


In the end, I have nothing to lose but everything to gain, by trying to save my marriage.

Maybe he is just being nice. You have every right to be on guard. It's going to take some time to not be vigilant and suspicious. I hate lies.

I'm glad you vented here.


Grapes are versatile. Grapes can be sour, sweet, sublime as wine and fabulous even when old and dried out.

Me: BS
XCH: Clueless
2-DS: Bigger than me
1-DD: Now also bigger than me!

5/6: Personally served CH with divorce papers
6/6: CH F? wants to time to see if M can be saved
7/6: FCH reenters our lives to work on marriage but secretly signs papers to start divorce...what's that about?
