A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

My husband and I have been married for 5 months. This is going to be a long story everyone I am apologizing now. I guess to start we both changed after we got married. We moved into a camper trailer right after we got married. It is located on his grandparents property so I thought okay this should not be too bad because it was going to be cheaper than where I currently lived. Well he had promised to get it fixed up to where it was livable. After a month we still had no hot water, no heat, and now there is no water at all. The place was a disaster and when I would attempt to clean it up, he would stop me and tell me he would do all this on his next day off because he wanted to go through all of it. That was 4 months ago and it still hasn't been touched. During this time he contacted my ex husband and asked him if I had always been so lazy. That really floored me. Well to make this story a little shorter I will get to what is going on at this point. I had seen a message that he wrote to a woman on facebook telling her that he was only keeping me around until he could afford a divorce, so I decided to leave and let him out of the marriage if that is what he wants. So I had my mail held at the post office. I had never held mail before and was surprised when I went to collect it because they had also held his grandparents mail. This made them very upset with me and they told me that if I show up back on the property they will call the police. Well my husband and I talked the other night at a coffee shop and talked about getting back together and he apologized and really acted sincere. He refuses to tell his family that we are trying to work things out because he does not want to have to listen to them complain. As I said I have been married once before and learned not to involve family in your marriage issues, but he did and I have no idea what he has told them. Whatever he said to them made them to where they do not like me at all. So I am currently living with one of our friends until we can get another place to live. Well here it is finally everyone. I got on the computer this morning and saw that he had wrote to another woman again and told her that we were separated and that he does not like being alone and that he was looking for a girlfriend. I am really upset because I have told him over and over that I do love him and it feels like I just get it thrown back in my face. I need some advice. What should I do?

I really feel better that I was right about wanting to leave. I tried so many times in my first marriage, I don't want a repeat of that. Thanks everyone!

Divorce his backside because he KNOWS you no longer see him as Gods Gift to womankind. He KNOWS how you will live with this man- in a place no woman in their right mind would live.

He's sick in the head big time. Dellusional. He NEEDS to USE women to help himself feel better but even then, he can only burn through so many before they all discover who he is. A Liar. A cheat. Unstable. Sociopathic.

Please leave this man and spare yourself even more heartache and the feeling you are losing your mind.

Seek support and counselling.

*hugs*

I don't think this is the life you want for yourself is it? This man is a narcissistic person with major issues. He has lied to you numerous times, he won't let you clean up and then complains to your ex that you are lazy- these are all disturbed, manipulative behaviors. His family is probably just as bad or worse than him from the sound of it. End it now for good and escape this bunch of crazies. Good luck.

No question about it, you should leave him. Actions speak louder than words and it's clear that he's only keeping you around until he finds someone new. That's why he seemed so apologetic and wanting to reconcile, it's so that you will stick around until he can find someone new in secret so he never has to be alone.

You had the right idea the first time when you decided to leave him so he could get what he wanted of finding someone new. what happened? You need to stick with that plan.

You don't love him, you just feel so hurt by his betrayal and so low in self esteem from his treatment that it seems the only way to erase your hurt is for him to take you back so you can pretend as if he no longer feels that way about you (wanting to leave you until he's done using you, I mean). Leave now while you have the upper hand. You know he's only saying whatever he has to say to get you to stay just long enough until he finds someone new so he doesn't have to spend one day alone.

eddie85 agony auntI guess the question you should really be asking yourself is "why you love this man?" and "Why do you not deserve better?"

Five months into your marriage, your husband is planning his divorce and already flirting with other women. And yet, you still want him, despite living in a camper without hot water. I just don't see the attraction here... hopefully he looks a lot like Tom Cruise or [insert your favorite celebrity here], is witty and has the charm of the devil himself.

While I hate to sound harsh and mean-spirited, it would appear that your husband sweet-talked you last night in hopes that you'll warm his bed for a bit longer until something better comes along. You wouldn't be the first to fall for this line. From everything you've written, he isn't in this relationship for the long haul and until you see that, you'll be setting yourself up for a world of hurt down the road.

Only you can determine whether you've truly made a mistake and that you should cut your losses now. Hopefully you'll take some time to think about what you want out of this marriage. Does this guy truly measure up to what you want out of a marriage? Is this the way you deserve to be treated? Do you see yourself happy 5 years down the road? Is he as committed to you, as you are to him? Is he truly willing to work on being a successful couple? And most importantly, can you trust him?

Good luck.

I also think you should leave him. He betrayed you once, now he's doing it again.

Please leave and do better.

aunt honesty agony auntI think that you should leave him. It does not sound like he is serious about you at all. His family don't like you now for whatever reason so now he is unwilling to tell them that you are both working on things, I don't think he ever will tell them. He sounds confused and does not know what he wants. I think he wants to keep his options open. So he is going to keep going behind your back to see if he can get a better offer and he is keeping you as a back up plan just in case.

You do not need to me to tell you that you deserve better than this, because you know that you do. I think you need to let him go and get on with your life. Yes it will take a while and it will be hard. But he is the one in the wrong here not you. Him ringing up your ex just shows that he does not care about how you feel, it was cruel him doing that. It is time to finish it for good.
