    My sentiments entirely,

    My gut feeling is theres something not right about this whole thing, why did he not go through with the divorce last September when he visited solicitor and drew up the petition? surely his pension cant be the only reason, upsetting kids? dont know what stupid thing she might do, all excuses I've been given.
    Have received long text from him half an hour ago, saying he doesn't need to decide who he wants to be with, he has told me he wants to be with me, that what I'm doing now is blackmail, that he will divorce her but not now!
    consequences afterwards are too high

    Strewth - so to make up for him being a lier he turns you into a blackmailer !

    I have a very nasty mind and a fertile imagination. Have you checked Dating Direct and Match Com to see if his profile is there :eek:

    Enjoy your night out, people who have wide social lives are happier, more contented and live longer than those who are joined at the hip to one person. What's his social circle like - do his friends make you feel welcome and what's your best mates honest opinion of him.

    Consequences high alright ,if he burns his boats with her hes then spoilt his chances of taking off to Oz with her.Everyone is right this is not fitting together,you are doing the right thing by sitting tight ,box him into a corner give him enough rope and he will most likely hang himself.When he realises you mean business he may start to lie again to squirm out of his mess,at least you will be ready for him.This is long term you are looking at ,so you need to know what kind of man he really is.

    Thanks Ellie,

    Just had another text from him, all nicey nicey now as I havent responded to anything he's wrote to me, 'Hi Darling, please go out with me tonight, I miss you so much'

    Good cop, bad cop - that sounds like common or garden manipulation to me.
    I'm not suggesting that you cool it, but perhaps you not being interested in any 'indoor games' for 2 or 3 weeks might reveal something. If he loves you it won't matter, if it does matter...........bit of a problem.

    follow JIMSMUM advice ,this all seems to be going your way at the moment ,keep the pressure on him ,and something will come out. Enjoy your night out,you have to get this right ,I have seen too many friends (and me)hurt by people like him,its like tunnel vision sometimes.
