Am I over reacting or is my husband being shady?

Call your parents if they’re trustworthy. Have them set up an account that you deposit money into. It cannot be in your name or it will be an asset. Save save save, make up extra expenses and have valid reasons as to why the money won’t be there. Funnel as much money away as you can. Swap your vehicles into your name only. With 4 kids those ages (they’ve likely been together for awhile) he’s highly unlikely to be able to take the house. If he’s within driving distance I’d go just do some investigating with a close friend riding along. You need to prove infidelity. If you have access to his phone you can change all his passwords. Also, while doing that, sign in on a personal computer while he’s sleeping and from then on he’ll never know you’re logged in :woman_shrugging:t2: No one changes their passwords and as long as you delete the password change notifications from his email (which you’ll also need access to and don’t forget to delete the trash bin too), he’ll never know you have access. You can go one step further by changing the contact number for all his accounts to your number. So if it ever logged out on your devices you would get the notification.
Make sure to disconnect any watches connected to the phone so they don’t ding and wake him.

Yes I use to be certifiable :woman_shrugging:t2::woman_facepalming:t2::joy:

You and the kids deserve better. Do you want your kids to grow up and treat their significant other that way? They learn behaviors.

My husband also works out of town 1 year ago he was working in Pennsylvania and I lived in Florida at the time. The girl found me on fb and wrote me. I knew something was going on, but no proof. It had been going on with him and her for month’s. I decided to work it out with my husband so I can’t tell you to run, but I can tell you trust your gut instinct. Face him and ask him. I didn’t I waited and got a message from the other girl. That’s how I found out. I wish you the best of luck sweetie :heart:

I am not usually one to jump to conclusions, but something is up. You need to communicate with him and the two of you need therapy to figure out where you marriage us and where it is going.

Not literally but… Gurl u dong need that stresd

Talk to your husband. People grow …together sometimes apart others…work on talking and reasons why u want your marriage to work and how u both can make it better. No man is perfect most cheat have cheated or will cheat as have woman…just cause he looks talks to or even fucks another chick your still his wife

Throw him a curve ball tell him " if your cheating just tell me ,hell tell her to leave the cash on the night stand " if he says anything other than wtf I love you then he’s cheatin.

He’s cheating for sure! He doesn’t see u for a week and doesn’t want to rip your clothes off? Or he’s gay? And um hell no! U didn’t make those kids by yourself! Asshole.

Sounds like your single

Yes your husband is being shady, but you already know that. The sex is a red flag but the fact that he’s not supportive of you feeling stressed while your at home with all the responsibility shows me that he really doesn’t care about you. If I was you I wouldn’t say anything to him, I’d just hire an attorney, file for a divorce and child support. You are already a single mom and it sounds like your doing okay.

Well first of all why are you making him delete people from his past? You clearly don’t trust him. Second, guys have issues with sex with age sometimes too… Definitely have a conversation about it… maybe try a supplement to help if his libido is low… or maybe he’s just bored of doing it the same way. U just have to talk it out… traveling all the time can be exhausting too…if its possible can you two go on a trip just the two of you or even have a date night… just take time to reconnect… its important for both of you to communicate your needs with each other especially with him travelling… it can be hard… I know because my fiance has had a travelling job for all 4 years of our daughters life…its not easy and it won’t work if you don’t really take the time to make it work and communicate and spend quality time together.

I dont think you are overreacting sounds like my man

Your gut instinct and intuition is not lying to you. You CANNOT ignore that, it is your protection and warning. Something is changing or has already changed. You have to face it head on. Don’t blame yourself and don’t let your mind wander on the what ifs, just focus on what needs to be done. What your able to control rather than wait for the inevitable truth to pry itself from his mouth. This is your family and your life, tell him he needs to take a leave of absence from work for a while. If he takes your request seriously he will stop and listen. This moment in time your in right now is incredibly painful and torturous, don’t draw it out and make yourself crazy. I’m so so sorry you even have to go through this. You deserve a sounding board and support, even if that support means a pat on the butt and told everything will be ok. Dry your eyes and shut down your imagination and make a plan and stick to it. :heart: Good luck mama

Leave he doesn’t care he will fight and says he cares he just do not want to pay child support

You sound like Superwoman! You are doing it all and holding it together. Brava!

Do you know his friends, family or coworkers? Can you ask some of them if there’s a reason he’s especially stressed out to explain why he’s distant? Did he want to have all your kids? Does he feel overwhelmed with the (apparently only financial) responsibility of taking care of them for the next 20 years? Did something happen with his job? Guys are afraid of showing any weakness so fear comes out as anger & lashing out. Is he watching lots of porn? Sometimes that can numb men into not enjoying real women.

Unfortunately, this sounds like he’s cheating and checked out of your relationship, especially if this is new behavior. If he plans to check out of a relationship with y’all’s kids, be prepared to get help dealing with the emotional fallout. Don’t tell anyone likely to spill the beans to him or related to a blabber mouth.

Increase your “village” of people who support you, to hold up you and your children. Work with a therapist to tell the kids what’s happening when the time is right.

Contact a women’s center for tips on preparing to leave. Figure out what to do legally, financially, emotionally. Do not tip your hand. Thewomenscenter.org website is a good resource. Get a P.O. Box, make calls from a work phone, set up a separate account in your name only with another bank (have statements sent to the box). Arrange for a safe house for you & the kids just in case, preferably someplace hubs wouldn’t think to look, and outside of your local area so you wouldn’t run into him.

Maybe because of the pandemic The Women’s Center (in Northern Virginia) will have virtual classes so you can take them no matter where you live.

Good luck. Everyone on here is rooting for you.

Ewwww my best friend’s bf did this. Turned out he had another life while he lived in another state. You need to sit him down and have another serious talk and tell him he needs to start respecting you and your marriage. Or you will look into being the single mom you already feel like you are. Usually if your gut is telling you something, it’s right on. Follow it and decide what you want to do. Just remember you both have to fight for your marriage, not just you. Best of luck!

First off, why is he working out of state? Unless, he is military, I don’t think this is okay. Why would you not all relocate or he find a job near home?

Leave. No one should be treated the way he is treating you.

Been there also …been divorced for 15 yrs isn’t anything ur doing mostly just the person ur married to. Sounds like ur stable enough to let him live the life he wants away…ur pretty much doing it already minus the sex. A couple in love and that isn’t having sex outside of marriage when they are away for that long should be having sum pretty passionate alone time if u know what I mean and if it’s not there then 100% time to move along and if he comes running back it means he is seeing what he is losing.
It isn’t sumthin that is exactly a yes or no situation for anyone other than you and ur spouse. Follow ur heart life is to short to not be happy and be treated right.

Nope! Not at all! Sounds like you’re not only over worked and under appreciated, but also being completely taken for granted by the one who’s supposed to love and support you most. You should try going and doing things for yourself on the weekends he’s home and throwing some of that same shade his way. Give him something to fret and be jealous over. Dress up more than usual, but not for him. Dress up and get out of the house. Find something to keep you busy besides being there for him and the kids when he’s home. Whether you do it or not, talk about fun and exciting things you’re doing during the week while he’s away when the two of you are talking/texting, conversations you have with one of your old flames you run across at say kids sporting events or even some of his friends or a coworker…example, “So, I ran into your buddy Sam tonight at (insert child’s name)‘s basketball game. I had my hands full with the kid’s bags and He was so nice. He helped me carry the stuff to the car and even told me my hair looked nice. Made me feel good because I worked on my hair for an hour before I went.” When he changes the subject, find a chance to being “Sam” back up… “yea, Sam said he’s been working out for the past 3 months. He seems to be doing really well. You can definitely tell he’s getting in shape.” Could be a totally made up convo, but the hubby will never know. If he doesn’t take advantage of the time the two of you have together and seems uninterested in your life, don’t whine about it. Simply Remind him that someone else will.

Block and delete his ass

Move on and take him for child support and alimony . Sounds like he is living a double life and has some one in that other life . You can do better by yourself

No, you’re not. Sorry you’re going through such a tough time. He’s alienating you by not acknowledging your feelings and recognizing the sacrifices and energy you put into making the family work.

You are not overeacting his selfish!!! He expects you to be a perfect wife, perfect mother whilst he is too busy blabbering about gym, himself and entertaining woman on Instagram and calls you petty. His ungrateful and very selfish. It’s loads of responsibility for you to care for those 4 kids on your own including a minor. Hats off to you. If he cannot try and get you help to manage the kids on your own instead make lane remarks don’t even bother expecting anything from him. It seems his content living a bachelor life the days his away only to come home to you and your kids coz he needs to. Don’t beg for acknowledgment or to be noticed. Your kids should be your strength. Talk to him and make him understand how he makes you feel civilly failing that ignore him. Let’s see how far he goes with his double role life. I hate men who don’t see the hardship a woman goes through and men who feel woman owe it to them to tolerate disrespect.

That’s awful!!! Im so sorry :disappointed:! He is minimizing everything you do for your family by the things he says. Also having past girls and girls he has liked is highly disrespectful twords you and your kids! It speaks badly of him not of you!!! He lives away from home and that in itself isn’t healthy, especially since you work as well and are raising the kids! I would sit him down and give him an ultimatum. Right specific points that keep you bothered and unsettled. Let him know that you love him, but that you aren’t willing to sacrifice yourself for someone who doesn’t appreciate all you are, and all that you are doing for him and the family! Remember you are at home with the family, he lives independently… put your foot down!

That’s so much separation. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I hope you have good support system, friends or family. :heart:

Definitely being shady! But asking him to delete females I think is wrong. Whatever happened to trust? If you don’t trust him away you even together?

Its shady, immature, disrespectful, the list goes on. Why cant ppl just be honest instead of being sneaky and deceitful! Red flag girl. I’m sorry for the pain he is causing you. You are not crazy! Trust your gut and do what best for you and your kiddos.

In my experience the only time respecting boundaries is a problem is when they’re already being broken. Secondly if you haven’t had cause to question him in the past and you’re feeling this way now! If you have caught him in the past then you already know the signs and pretending iant going to help. I’ve given my SO too many chances to be honest, and I want to say hes finally gotten around to deserving them lol but it’s a long hard battle especially with myself. You have to trust your feelings, the first time I found him lying about chatting with women I had zero reason to question him… so again TRUST yourself, if you feel somethings off either push or make the decision best for you and your kids

You are not over reacting.first, he had no sympathy for you and doesn’t seem to care for your feelings. Has lack of respect for you and your feelings. AND makes things harder on you instead of making things better. Including name calling which you are not doing anything wrong. He shouldn’t be doing something that he wouldn’t like, as it should be fair in the relationship. He sounds useless. But he could also be tired. Everybody needs reasurrance sometimes of with certain things. We all need someone to talk to and listen to us and support us. Not put us down.

Is this a short-term thing? Living apart that long will guarantee a failed relationship… I would say he is for sure being shady if working in another state is going to be a long term thing
