Can someone please, please give me your advice! My husband is not acting remorseful for what happened a little over a month ago. Of course he only admits that he was with her for hours and said they kissed and talked only. I know he had sex with her and guess he doesn't need to admit it to me for me to know for sure! His attitude is going back and forth on being kind of nice, then a real creep! He has been withholding affection (use to be VERY affectionate), cold, distant and very grouchy! He is also grouchy with our kids to the point that they are asking what is wrong with him. He comes and goes as he pleases and if I ask him where or what he is doing, he tells me don't worry about it, you worry about you and I will worry about me. He is drinking a lot and also staying out! He is verbally abusive to me and has always been, I just realized this about a year ago. We have just moved and we are trying to fix up our other house to get it ready to sell. So, he goes over there and crashes at night (twice now since the affair) without calling me or anything. He is still not home and it is 5:30 in the morning. So, I called him and asked him where he is, he says he is at his co-workers (his truck is there, I drove by) I asked him if he had been there all night. He stated that he went in to work for awhile (of course I can not prove this) because we had a power outage. He didn't call me all night and he just leaves without saying anything to me. He told me he wants to be by himself (about a week ago) and said this right after he was with her! I am depressed, hurt and angry all in one day. I don't think I can take much more of this. It hurts to be without him (I miss him like crazy when he is gone for even a night), but this is really hurting me. I am being nice to him, trying to do plan A. Oh and he acts like he hates it here at home and he acts like he hates all of us, including his kids! Should I just let him do this? Or should I tell him to get out? I hesitate because I don't work and I think he will be a real mean jerk when it comes down to it. I know he wont let the bills go for now, I think he will pay them. I feel like packing his clothes right this minute and setting the bag in his truck. Right or wrong, I don't know! Advice, please!
Should I tell him to go (I think he wants too) or should I stay here and take his crap? He won't talk to me about what happened that night. He gets angry, starts yelling LOUDLY at me and threatens to go to the other house to sleep. Help!!!

Wow! He returned home at 6:30 this morning! I asked him a little about his night and all. He was at his co-workers, not sure if he was there all night. I told him, he doesn't even like this guy, that he is a scum bag crackhead (the guy) . He finally said to me, do you want me to leave? I don't even want to be with you! (said this before, more so since the affair he says he didn't have). I told him I KNOW you don't. That was about it! No remorse for this either, what do I do? Continue to let him stay out all night with some co-worker he doesn't even like? Give me a break! He only went there because it is a place to party!

hi kittie
this sound to me like the typical fog Dr. Harley speaks of.
there are no limits to how long this will last.
Have you done plan A at all?.... Most here would agree to a strong plan A. In my personal experience Plan A is hard,. Harder still when you have no response from the WS. ANd its emotionally painful to work so hard and seem to get nowhere. However the fog is a tricky thing with WS fence sitting and missing the OW and the "newness" of their relationship.
Is he doing a no contact or is he continuing to see her?
Of course ... there is always plan B. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />

I don't know if he is seeing her, he says no. I haven't suspected him of seeing her again, but I am not sure. I guess she has a boyfriend that I think lives with her at her sisters house.

I have read up some more on marriage builders and found the 180 degree list. I am doing that now and I already feel better. I have plans for tonight and tomorrow morning. With tomorrow morning being something I have never done before..walking in a race, the crim race. He will wonder about that one AND he will like that I did it! More importantly, I will enjoy it, LOL.
Thanks for the reply,
kittie
