I come here because it helps. It may make me feel hurt at times, bring it all back ( not that the pain ever goes, it just hides) but sometimes it makes me feel a title better.

He has just told me to come off here. I told him NO. I have no one to talk to, this is my only way I can communicate and put my feelings down.

He wants to move on ans forget all he has done. It's not so bloody easy for me sadly.

He has no right to tell you what you need to do to heal.

He needs to start fixing himself.

You wouldn't be here if it weren't for HIM. Tell him that! (((Hurtgmw)))

It is not unusual for a WS to feel threatened by this site, especially if they are not owning up to their betrayal and want to "rug sweep." I don't know your story because you have nothing in your profile, but it sounds like your WS is not showing remorse and is still thinking more about himself than you.

This site will help you a great deal, no matter what the outcome of your marriage is. You need to be able to talk to people who know what you are feeling. We have all felt the kind of pain and confusion that you are feeling now.

Read the articles in the healing library on this site. There are lots of really good books out there to help you. Don't let him bully you. He did this to you and you need to heal how ever you can, with or without him.

If he is serious about saving his marriage, he will get on board with what he has to do to win back your trust. Hugs, and KEEP POSING!

Ridiculous. Tell him to go scratch... you wouldn't be here if it wasn't for his actions so he has to deal with that like you're dealing with his crap. :( hugs

..sounds like a 'bully'..

..don't back down. You deserve to have the help and support of this site..

..your WH should shut his mouth and open his eyes to the damage he's done.. maybe read here himself to get him out of his fog.. that "just get over it and let's get back to normal" type fog..

..you've found a safe place here, with lots to learn and process.. sorry you are here but it's the best 'worst' club to join.

..take care of yourself and keep posting!

We hear this quite often from unremorseful WS's who want to rugsweep.

FWH was like this for a long time. He eventually came around..or gave in. This is MY safe place. If he won't talk to me..you all will.

I would tell him you didn't particularly like him swinging and having sex with multiple other people, but that he didn't consult you or consider your opinion about it. And then I would probably tell him to go f*** himself.

mine doesn't like it either. he says it makes me make what he did "bigger than it is"

cuz, you know, that whole atomic bomb he set off in the midst of our "happily ever after" wasn't *really* that big.

don't leave, post often. even when I wasn't posting and just lurking after I joined, I got lots of help by reading others' stories and how they were handling similar situations

((((hurtgmw)))

Tell him to take a bit to read some of the stuff in the Wayward forum. It doesn't sound like he is anywhere near being ready to hear anything from us, but that would be his "home" if he were to ever look at SI.

Do what YOU need to do to make it through this for YOURSELF.

Since he is the reason you found SI, he needs to deal with that don't you think?

Ditto on the non-remorseful rug sweeping as the "why" behind his feelings. SAWH was like that rather bad during our 15 month false R. You do what YOU need to!

Having said that, I have noticed I need breaks from the boards at times. Sometimes, it makes things worse but not usually.

Yeah, I started reading here long before my wife's affair and the near destruction of my family was caused by my addiction go this site!!!!

NOT!!!

If my wife said something like that I'd remind her in explicit detail what led me to discover that this type of support group existed.

Why, because you will get stronger, wiser, have friends validate your feelings, cry with you, laugh with you, advise you?? Yea tough shit for him. Do you recall him asking if it was ok to go on his site of choice. Don't let him bully you. I'm sure he would like you to just put it in the past but that can't happen if he's not not willing to help you do all of the above that you get here.

((((Hurtgmw))))

This is BS, and he knows it. He just wants you to shut up and rug sweep the whole thing.

That doesn't work. All that will do is demoralize you, tear down your self esteem, and allow him to repeat his actions.

I disagree with telling him to join/read here. When a spouse is still so foggy you need to protect yourself. I used this place as my safe place to talk, cry, and find strength. It is because of this place I knew what to do when I was ready, and guess what, It worked.

H came later when he was out of the fog, he read some, but I do not believed he ever joined. That's ok. He knows I still check in just about every day. He also is cool with that. Because he gets it. He gets that I can offer something to folks that are hurting so bad they aren't even sure if they can make it through the next 4 breaths.

Tell him to go get bent. Seriously. Stand up and tell him he needs to understand he has destroyed your life and your world. You don't trust him, and until he can prove his worth, he doesn't get ANY say in how you choose to live your life.

((((and strength))))

My WH and I were talking about this just yesterday. I'm on this site as well as reading currently "not just friends". He also told me he didn't see the point for me to be doing all that because he feels it keeps me from moving forward and it's just making me relive it all. I told him on the contrary, it's helping me understand all the emotions I'm dealing with as well as trying to understand the mentality of not only me but him as well. I'm one that needs to have all the information on why things happen and how and because of what etc. more of the mentality aspect in general and not just from my WH. It's my way of having some kind of control and understanding which in turns helps me and that's currently what matters. He said be understands, he has never told me to never go on this site but I know he's not too fond of it either. Oh well. I'm the one that needs to function so "OH WELL!" :)

Mine isn't crazy about it either. He acts like I am overgeneralizing our situation from what I read here. Says that he is "different" Funny to me because all the moves he is making are text book WS who are slow "getting it" And he doesn't realize I have the play book (SI) he doesn't have and he is following it to a "T" without even knowing it...

He does understand that I get help from it, by knowing I'm not alone and crazy. He's just defensive when I mention what a WS who wants to R should be.

Yep. Unremorseful waywards loathe this site. The sad clown called it a hate site. Posted something about when will she get over it and got a VERY gentle 2x4 challenging some of his thinking.

Boy did he go on an OTT rage about it. He would never have dared try to dictate where I could or couldn't post but he was very vocal about blaming SI for all of struggles we had.

They don't like us having a backbone - they prefer us scared and alone. Dependant. SI also makes rugsweeping very difficult.

Our MC didn't like my being here at first, either - until she checked it out herself. Just sayin'....

Same here. He said I was just looking for more negative things about him. Hello! You have ripped my world and been a SOB while doing so. Rug sweeping is his middle name.
