    I am so sorry that you are having to go through this alone Suidge60.... but remember that we are here for you .... i don't know where you live but i'm sure that there are other mse'ers who may live close and maybe just maybe could give you direct support?

    You are def a better person and have done nothing wrong. it's true that people change in a relationship no matter what that relationship is and maybe your husband gave up a while ago?

    i'm sorry if what I say is not what you want to hear.

    In my experience once a person has taken certain steps it's very hard for them to change... especially a man... pride etc ect plays a part.

    This other woman...... hmmmmmm :(

    There is some counselling techniques which may help you.

    One I like and may help is .... Solution Focused Therapy

    If I can help or just offer a shoulder then pls let me know.

    Don't you dare blame yourself. It doesn't serve you right. It felt odd because it was odd, to you. It sounds to me as if the woman he has met is not a recent thing, and I'm sorry if it is hard to hear. Think about his behaviour before this, I'll bet he was giving off all sorts of signals, that's why you weren't comfortable because your instinct was telling you something wasn't right with his behaviour. There is no point in begging because he has already moved on. You need to think of yourself and your children now. Biggest hug I can manage to you, it's still early days, take your time, pace yourself, it will get slowly better. X
