My husband left me and I need advice

Don’t take him back, trust me they don’t change. You will beg, and plea and then later regret it! I stupidly gave up my house to chase after him and now I’m stuck. In a bigger, nicer house and nicer vehicles but that stuff doesn’t make you happy. What I wouldn’t give to have my tiny older house back because I was a lot happier taking care of my kids by myself. It doesn’t make sense at the time but later it will girl. Hang in there.

Run …don’t look back, sleeping with others is a no.

Get a parenting plan filed NOW and start divorce papers you can often get the judge to sign temporary custody plams thatvwill be in effect until the divorce is final !!! I am sure there is some sort of legal aidevin your area they will help you. Go file for welfare benefits, housing assistance, get his name off of all of the bills including the rental lease. Most importantly you did not deserve this, he is nasty because he knows he is in the wrong. Dont be nasty back but don’t ever cobsider taking him back if you do it will happen again. Every time you pass a mirror look at yourself and say “I love you, baby loves you, we will ger through this and be happier.” Eventually you will realize you are better off and happier.

Right, you got this big girl pants on! It might not seem it now but he will crawl back to you. Here’s what you need to do, first make an appointment with your doctor about your depression because even though your husband hasn’t died you’re grieving the loss of your marriage. 2 focus on your daughter and your job this is going to open up so many doors for you (not right away but in time yes) 3 get some legal advice re child maintenance and staying in your property etc I know you dint feel like it now but tryst me you have to do this to protect you and your child in the coming months if he wants to move back in or sell or whatever…its good to be for armed. Show him you won’t be walked on and he will be the one suffering in the long run. Good luck my lovely you totally got this. Xxx

Forget him. It doesn’t matter if you love him because love doesn’t pay the bills. He obviously has decided he no longer wants to be a one woman man. You need to be a role model for your daughter and show her you are worth more. Divorce him and sue for child support and alimony. You are worth more than a man like this.

You have to allow yourself to go through the grieving process to move on. It’s the death of a relationship. Get angry, cry, whatever helps you. Don’t beg him back though. You and your daughter deserve so much better. Start this new job, make friends, find a sitter and have s night out, even if it’s just grocery shopping alone. Enjoy some alone time. Once you’ve processed all the emotions file for divorce, get alimony and child support.

Focus on work, yourself and being a mom… Yes it will be hard but hopefully keeping busy will allow time to go by and heal. You can’t make someone stay with you who has made up their mind. Be bigger than the situation; I understand sometimes easier said than done, but don’t be bitter and end up swallowing that miserable poison pill. Life does and will go on… When moving on, try to get a better sense of the next person and their peers and family and goals etc. As time goes on it will get easier. I don’t mean next month or next year but it will get easier/more manageable. Don’t rush into anything coming out of this; don’t jump from the frying pan into the fire in other words.

This has happened before you and will happen again well after you… You can do this. Others have and others will.

You got this. Keep us updated and vent when you need to. We are here.

You deserve someone who will treat you and your child right. Look for income based legal services in your area and then file for legal separation and child support. It’s best if you obtain legal counsel before he does. This will probably really get his attention and he will be furious or he’ll change his tune and want to get back together. Don’t re-enter the relationship with him without marriage counseling in place.

Let him go! Seriously! I know it’s gonna be hard, it’s gonna be an adjustment, but if he can do that to you and your child, he doesn’t love either one of you. Sounds to me like he was looking for a reason to leave and just up and did it so he can sleep with whoever he wants. Focus on you and your child.

When he comes back, and he will, remember how you feel right now. Use that as motivation to be strong and tell him to kick rocks! Get yourself to the court house and file for divorce, alimony, custody and child support. He abandoned you and your child.

Let him go and never look back. You AND your daughter deserve better. She is watching and learning from you. She may be a baby….but she is still learning how a woman should be treated by a man….and if you stay you are showing her that settling is ok……psychological abuse is ok……cheating is ok……walking out when you see greener pastures is ok. And if you take him back……you will never be “ok”….you will never trust him….you will never feel safe and secure in your relationship….you will always long for more.

Love yourself and your daughter enough to walk away! Hold your head high……this is NOT your fault. Look ahead and move forward! Someone worthy of you & your daughter is out there looking for you!

First of all ,I am so sorry you are going through this. I wish I could give you advice to that would ease the immediate pain of the hurting. The advice that I can give you is to get a lawyer, keep that job you’re going to start, try not to worry about what he’s thinking because he was willing to sleep with these women before he left you, & I would definitely go to your doc & get a full std panel check up. You want to make sure he didn’t give you something. If someone cheated, it doesn’t seem like protection is a priority to them. Best of luck to you. It’s gonna be a long road, but you’ll get through it. Ohhh, and sure you already know this, but document everything.

Find a lawyer, tell that said Lawyer what’s going on and what you should do and file papers in court for child support and alimony, and have him pay for the home Bill’s. Ads he is the one that walked out of the marriage. And left the home cause he has chosen to be with other women. Make sure to change all locks on the doors and patch what stuff you can of his and have him come get it all only with the help of people you know that won’t start any thing with you. And have police there when he does get his stuff. Get help from state till you start working. The state will go after him for child support. And make sure you get full custody of your child. Protect yourself legally. And then for your self respect move on and be happy for you and your child.

I’m not gonna be too hard on you because you sound young and most of us have been there. The best advice that I can give you is to divorce him and move on with your life. You’ve taken the first step by finding a job. Next, look into some type of housing. Check your state’s public assistance office to see if they can help you with some type of subsidized housing. Once you start working you will feel a sense of pride and you will feel better that you’re making your own money. Hopefully you will meet some nice people at your job that you can socialize with. It’s hard right now but I promise it will get easier. Once he sees you out there doing your thing, he’ll want you back. Do NOT take him back. One day you will find a man that will love and cherish you. But it’s not going to happen if you take that lying piece of :poop: back. Just remember to hold your head up and keep telling yourself that you deserve better.

What an ass he is! Don’t waste your feelings on him. He’s been doing shit for awhile and only way he can make his own ass feel better if to make you feel like shit. File for divorce don’t let him take the baby anywhere. You don’t have to because he’s not being a fit parent and probably doesn’t give a shit anyway. Ghost his ass. Don’t take him back. He did you a favor.

You need to know HE screwed you over. You didn’t do anything but trust him to the right thing and he took advantage of your trust and love. It’s not bad that he left. He was probably mad because he knows he messed up.
The only way through this is time. If you can get a therapist to help you through that’s good too. You need to allow yourself time to process your feelings and your going to feel angry and sad and that’s ok. It’s not ok to be with someone who doesn’t love or respect you. Women don’t NEED men or anyone who can’t love or support us. Don’t contact him about talking to your child. If he wants that he will do what he needs to do. Hang in there and figure out what you want. If you want to reconcile what does that look like to you and what would need to happen( counseling etc) or if not talk to a lawyer about laws in your state.

I went thru the same thing. My ex husband left when my daughter was 3 weeks old. He wasn’t faithful at all, talked to men and woman daily. Honestly you don’t see things til he is gone. It might haven seemed like a great relationship but once he left I saw so much. The abuse and narcissist and bullying. I wasn’t working either and thanks to my parents and then covid started I was out of work almost first two years of her life……things get better. Make sure you protect your daughter and yourself. Keep copies of everything and write it all down. I know it sucks I was devasted too but it was the best thing he ever did. I protected us and he tried a lot do things and the court saw thru it….hang in there, it does get better.
