At my wits ends!

So I’m just about losing my patients and my will with my so called other half and it’s taking it toll on my health and on are family life and the children’s life :sad_but_relieved_face:.

So the situation is this, 5 years ago I had slaved and worked my self to the bone and happened to have saved up some money (£9000.)
I saved it in one of my direct debit banks, just a basic account not a savings one, my hubsnad has the online details and card details for all my accounts I felt at the time that I can trust him and I had a what’s mine is yours mentality. Everything was going well, I had saved and felt a bit realaxed in life, the fact that I knew there was something in the bank just puts my mind at peace.

So the money was in the bank and years went by without me thinking about it. One day I felt sad about my finances so I went to the ATM machine to look at the £9000 number on the bank machine (this makes me fee relaxed! ) so I inoccenlty put my card in the machine and what do I see? 0.03p is in my account :scream::confused:. Straight away I thought someone had stolen my money in a hesterical panic I call my husband who was at work at that time, I told him about the money and he just said “yeah I took it out, i needed it to start a bussness account!” That day was a massive argument!

Anyway 5 years on I still haven’t seen that £9000 it apparently in some bussness account with som accountant, his left it in there in the hope of getting a decent loan offer or something…:thinking:

So i gave him the benefit of the doubt.

And started saving again… this time I managed to save only £3000 but I was ok with this… last night I recived a bank statement by post, I’ve only got £800 left in the bank :neutral_face::enraged_face::thinking:
£500 was withdrawn without my permission another £200 was withdrawn and full rent was paid for from my account!

This morning I was furious… I snatched his wallet and went out to the ATM machine, he has 5 bank cards :thinking: 2 only have £3 or something in! One is a credit card, one is a debit card but it says it’s in overdraft of £368 and the main card he has were his wages come in is showing only £480?! He got paid on the 15th of this month, it’s the 20th now… he gets paid £1100 and month so where has the rest of this money gone within 5 days of getting wages? He also works cash in hand on wed and thurs where he earns an extra £200 a month… there was no money in his wallet…

So I withdrawed £100 out of the £480 and went home and put this money into the saving envelope I have, last time I checked this envelope had £800 in, now with the £100 I’ve just taken from him it only has £500!!! I had taken £50 from that envelope for Xmas presents but where did the £350 go??

When ever I ask him he says I’m doing a drama and he starts hitting and beating me…last time he gave me a bloody nose…

He does f all around the house, I’m stuck on maternity leave looking after a very fussy new born and a stubborn 5 year old…

I’m trying my best to save money, I’m exhausted but still go out to random people’s houses to do babysitting for only £8 an hour.. he tells me I’m stupid and a fool to work for only £30 / £40 and shift but his not helping… it’s been 2 years his been working properly and I haven’t seen any money from him within that time..

To make things worse, last year I found him texting a prostutie, he was asking her how much she charges, I was pregnant at that time and when I asked him he first said that’s not his texts, then he said he was arranging her for his friend… so I asked his friend and he said he doesn’t have a clue what my hubby is saying!!!
then he said he was just flirting with her… we had a fight that day and with all the stress I miscarried!

His broken my trust and is also stealing from me…
the iceing on the cake is I’m getting depressed and have started living a “fantasy life” with a random guy who name I’ve forgotten that I met on an app, I’ve given him my WhatsApp number and we have been taking for about a month every night while my husband is away at Work earning for god knows who! His far away so there’s no chance of any real physical cheating but I feel guilty all the same, however I feel happy while talking to him, his the only one making me smile and forget about my rotten miserable situation.
I’m actually crying while writting this… where has that man gone that I married and planned my life with so much hope and dreams? Where is that man gone that I use to look up to with so much pride? Where is that man gone who use to take away all my worries with one big warm hug? Why has he been replaced by a lieing, cheating and abusing miserable stranger that I just don’t recognise anymore…?

I’ve tried talking to my husband and I’ve tried ingnoring him, I’ve tried trusting in what he says, I’ve tried everything I can but it’s just not working…I don’t know what to do anymore, I rarely have lost all hope.. I’m becoming miserable and angressive with my children and have started to no care about how I look anymore. The only time I’m motavated to tart up and look nice is when I’m going to have face time with that random guy, then I spend a few hours straining my hair, putting makeup on, selecting a nice dress and even putting perfume on :thinking::joy:… I feel like I’m going out and I just feel like myself again… then I spend a good 3 hours talking to this guy somtimes we don’t even talk, he just looks at me and smiles… it’s reminds me of the good old times with my husband… when we were in love…

This morning I actually found my self smiling randomly in the street because I remembered that guys smile… now I feel guilty again… but without such communication I think I will go insane :sad_but_relieved_face:

Im not a bad person, I have never done anything behind husbands back… but for some reason I am now… I’m not attracted to that guy..I don’t even remember his name… I just like the attention I get, the memories and feelings he brings out… the fact that he helps me get away and bury my head in the sand from all the problems around me.

My husband has broken my trust with the money stuff and prostute stuff and whatever he says feels like a lie… this broken trust is making me act out of character and it’s making me so confused…

I don’t known what type of advice I’m looking for… I don’t think there is any advice for such a mess!

Re: At my wits ends!

Get a divorce and don’t cheat on your husband while you’re married.

Re: At my wits ends!

I think I will have to, I’m a crying mess right now.. I don’t feel like I’m cheating to be honest …I don’t have any feeling for this other guy, he could be anyone…
I think I’ll get my finances in order and just move out..

Re: At my wits ends!

He is a jerk and don’t know why you are still putting up with him? he is a thief and a lanati to steal from his wife and beating her up. what a sad waste of oxygen. Its not your fault if you have started taking interest in an another guy, you are clearly deprived of love and affection for a long long time. I’m sorry but your husband is not worth being called a man.

You know what you need to do, and make him pay CSA for your children till you get married again.

Re: At my wits ends!

Move out first, then get your finances in order. Move out even if you have to stay in a shelter for a while. Report his physical abuse too and file a divorce.

Re: At my wits ends!

What your hubby did was wrong but you are also cheating, whether you accept it or not. Simple as that

Re: At my wits ends!

If you remain married to him after all this, it’s your fault.

Re: At my wits ends!

I don’t think divorce will be that easy as my marriage is nikkha only, no uk marriage papers…nikkha is not seen as a legal binding marriage in uk … I know silly of me for not doing a court marriage too :neutral_face::frowning:
I’m cheating or not, I don’t know and to be honest I just to care anymore…

Re: At my wits ends!

You always come up with such stories… Such a talent.
Anyhow the only solution is divorce, or if you still have feelings for your hubby then you can talk to him directly. Cheating would not help you. Simply making fantasy castles in the air won’t solve your problems but add more to your already messed up life..

Re: At my wits ends!

I wish it was just a story :confused:

Re: At my wits ends!

The way you are, you will be used not by just one man, but many.

Re: At my wits ends!

I agree with this.
Btw nothing justifies cheating.

Re: At my wits ends!

The guy is into prossies, it is only cheating if he is committed. Wife beaters need to go to jail where bubba makes them experience how it feels to be a be battered wife.

Re: At my wits ends!

I disagree. Cheating is cheating regardless of the circumstances. She is committed to him and until she dissolves the commitment, she is cheating.

Re: At my wits ends!

A marriage and relationships are contracts same as any other contract and the contract is only valid until both parties adhere to it. So if you contract me to build your house and dont pay me for it. Do I still need to keep building the house? even though you might not pay me, punch me in the nose and ask me to cook for you also. No wonder guys are so interested in enforcing traditions.

Re: At my wits ends!

Hmm, I didn’t realise just talking to the opposite gender while married was consider cheating :thinking:… in that case I must have cheated loads of times as I’m friends with male co workers and have even gone out for coffee with them :hushed_face::face_without_mouth:!
As I said befor I’m not interested in this guy, he is there to fill a void… I only feel guilty as I know the guy somtimes flirts and also the attention I get from him should really be coming from my husband…
I suppose it depends what you see a cheating really…
but this wasn’t the main issue of m post… the main issue was the money and the lieing…

Re: At my wits ends!

please leave him asap. he is physically abusing you. Do you have any family nearby with whom you could stay?

Re: At my wits ends!

Where did the money go?

Re: At my wits ends!

Drugs and hookers

Re: At my wits ends!

That’s a million dollar question… I really don’t know, I’m guessing back home and maybe hookers :confused::frowning::sad_but_relieved_face: or maybe his started his gambling again, but I’m not sure as he usely wins and he hasn’t come home late as he does when he use to gamble… I don’t know… your guess is as good as mine..
