It is very painful for us as they play this out. Mine didn't contact me for two months then suddenly turned up and as usual we had sex. I haven't seen or heard from him in two weeks.I know your pain and I wish we could both be stronger. Mine sometimes comes back to me when he and his nut are fighting, do you think that could be the same for you.
Be strong we are better than this.

Girl. he doesnt need anymore chances. He has more than over stayed his welcome. If he is gonna be there for a day, to USE you now, he will continue to do so.. and with that woman calling your house, i would get a restraining order. good luck.. dont take him back, he's not worth your time. Your better than that.

You are in a strange position. Since you have an attorney. Corresponsance regarding the divorce or anything pertaining too needs to be done between attorneys. If they feel it's relivant to relay information to you and your husband, let them make that decision. Whenever he brings up the divorce or wants to discuss it, direct him to your attorney. This will assure he's not trying to dig up any dirt or upset you to do something that can be used against you in the divorce proceedings.
This other woman, document all occurances. If they're phone messages save them, and provide a copy to your attorney. I think with her threats a no contact order should be in place between you and her, blocking her from using any method of communication with you.
Your husband is too wishy washy. This back and forth, don't put up with. He's using you and he's using her. I'd stay away from him and make sure your not the one he's using. I can't believe how much of a yoyo he is going from you and her. What is he really trying to accomplish here. This is a very strange individual. I bet the other woman meets him at that level of strange as well.
Take care. I hope all works out for you.

I think he doesn't know what he wants and that really doesn't cut it. His behaviour must be very hurtful to yourself. You very wisely told him if he came back no more running off but he ran off. You are the victim here. Explain the situation to your children and family who he keeps sending messages through. Tell them that you've invited him back into your life, heart and home three times at his plea and every time he leaves. You can only push someone down so many times before they break.

He's more than used up his chances. If he sees her or you hear from her again, just go through with the divorce ... no more appeals, no more delays. And if necessary, talk to your lawyer about filing for protection orders against her or both of them. With that in mind, keep an accurate record of dates, times, and what transpires whenever either of them contacts you. This will come in handy. Oh, and you might want to consider putting a recording device on your telephone just so you have a record of what went on. THIS IS ILLEGAL IN SOME STATES, HOWEVER, SO BE CAREFUL. If it's illegal in your state, it's also a violation of federal law.
You're being jerked around by this guy. You deserve better.

Your husband is obviously cheating on you and this woman he is with is obviously a nutter.
Why do you keep letting him come back into your life? After the first 3 times didn't you see a pattern?
Talk to your elder kids and explain what is going on from your point of view. He's obviously got them thinking that you are the one stopping him coming back.
Change the locks and cut contact with your hubbie. He's clearly quite messed up at the moment and you really don't want to be dragged down with him.
Good Luck!! xx
