    I still really think you would benefit from counselling together. It doesn't sound like it's over but more that there are issues that need discussing between you both. I know it's hard and it hurts but try and use this break from him to sort your own head out too as you sound very mixed up xxx
    Thankyou i have been waiting for someone to put something i dont get why hes being so nasty about the baby he knew it would hurt major :(i cant speak to him now he couldnt have said anything nastier :(

    There must be unresolved issues I would leave it for tonight - personally I would write him a letter with all your feelings in it and then destroy it, it might help you to work out how your feeling too. If you can I would def try not to contact him for a few days you both need a bit of space to think about things.

    I have to say I agree with lindseykim13 on this one lass, you need to cut contact for a few days at least so you can both clear your heads a little. Being worried about what to say in front of huim in case he goes off on one isn't a good position to be in and neither is him yo-yo'ing between you and an ancient ex.

    Decide what YOU want, then find out what he wants, if there's some common ground then great, but make sure you get what you need out of this lass.

    the to-ing and fro-ing and being downright nasty is very 'normal' when a relationship breaks down. He is trying to blame you for his actions - and I'm sorry to say it but the odds on him having had an affair/being in the middle of a relationship with someone else are very high.

    Your best course of action for yourself now is to:
    a) curtail contact. Deal with him only as it pertains to your daughter and not at all. You need to get your head round what YOU want and stop letting him play you like this. Agree to talk to him ONLY with a third party present so he's not able to bully or manipulate or say outrageous things that in your fragile mental state, you will believe. Book an appointment at Relate or with another counsellor.
    b) think of yourself. Whether you like it or not, your marriage is breaking down. What do you want for your future?
    c) play 'bluff, bluff, double bluff'. Dress up, get your make up on, face the world. When he sees you he needs to see the woman he married, not the woman he's finding excuses to leave. If you're a mess, he has that excuse. If you look good, you'll feel...well, maybe not good, but better. And that's important.

    Finally, you're not the only person to have gone through this and there is support out there if you want it. You're not on your own. Remember that. xxxx

    Whats going on with him - it sounds to me like he wants al the control. It's ok for him to say he doesn't want you and he wants to move out but if you agree or say similar he goes off on one. I think you need to be really really strong now you need to not let him treat you like this and you need to show him you are just there when he decides he wants you. I think you need to cut contact for a few days and let him stew.
