Feeling down and upset

So I got out of the house and went to the mall for a little bit even though it is a bit chilly outside. But the reason I am feeling down is because my husband decided last night to go with my ex friend to Milwaukee to look at a truck but supposedly the guy never showed up so he ended up staying there all night and is still gone. It has been almost 15 hours and no phone call from him but he has been texting very little. I honestly feel like there is something going on between them but he swears there isn't. How am I supposed to believe that? No pictures, no calls, and very little texting?! Like really? He has trust issues with me being around guys but its okay for him to be around any girls especially that their single to top it off. He thinks I was okay with it but in reality I am not happy. He talks to her and jumps for her more than he does for me. I don't know what to do. I am close to packing up me and my son and just leaving somewhere but I keep giving him the benefit of the doubt. Him doing things like this is not working out our marriage that is failing. I love him to death but he needs to get his crap together. I am fed up with it. Sorry I needed to vent because I don't trust anyone in person most of the time. Our marriage is back on the rocks again after we just started working things back out and now it is very frustrating.

My advice to you before was to get out, and it's still the same.

It sounds like you and him need to sit down and have a good talk about your feelings towards each other. Sorry things are not working out for you.

I'm going to say the say as Jabo below, it' time to get out from what I've read on your posts. You shouldn't have to be going through that. Look after yourself.

I am so sorry that your going through this. =( I really hope things get better soon. Him not texting or calling is really unfair and not showing you love at all. I left my husband a few years ago because he wasn't treating me right at the time. It opened his eyes real quick and he's never treated me like that ever again. Just a thought-doesn't have to be forever-just a little while until he respects you again.

I really hope so too. I even told him today he was lucky I just didn't up and leave. I now am going to be giving him the cold shoulder like I did if he does it again.

This is sad really l don't want to imagine my husband going away with another woman to look at a car or whatever, if he had to take a woman why not you? You need to do some serious talking, don't shout,don't make threats,be cool and really talk try to find out what he thinks.No you are not ok with him going away and no calls,who does he think you are a little girl to be pleased with some cheap excuses?

@carebear29 You have to know if you want to put up with it or if you deserve to be respected by him.

Neither of you trusts the other, why? What kind of business is he in that requires him to go away with another woman to look at a truck? I am glad this is a safe place for you, but there needs to be trust for a relationship to survive and no game playing.

Thats what I told him. If he can hang around girls, why can't I hang around guys. He only trusts very few

I am sorry to hear that. Is your husband back by now? I just can't imagine how upset you were when he was away and without calling you much. I still think it's good to have a serious talk to him, tell him how unhappy you are when he's with another girl, etc. Though he keeps mentioning that's for business, if the business would ruin your marriage, does he still want to keep that business? I really hope this will be settled very soon. Yes, we all are always here, and you won't be alone.

It does sound to me like something is going on with them. I hope though for your sake though that it isn't the case. I can only imagine based on my experiences how terrible you must be feeling. Him not coming home and texting very little shows very little concern for your feelings. I went through a very similar situation a few weeks ago. It helps a lot to be able to come here and talk about it since in person we can't talk to many people about how we are feeling. I am so sorry you are having to go through this.

@carebear29 I'm glad you told him how you felt. I hope it truly won't happen again. I can't even stick up for myself enough anymore to tell my man how upset he makes me. I just made a post about going to see his new place today. I should just tell him how I feel and end it but I just never can do what I should do.

I really got into it with him when he got home. He didn't like it but said it would never happen again.

Love cannot live without trust. It is better to talk him seriously about things bothering you. Cut off all the negative thinking you have in your mind. Women do a lot of thinking sometimes that lead to depression. Try to go outside with your son or mingle with your friends. How about going on a vacation? I hope this helps.

I'm sooo sorry. :( I hope there isn't anything going on between them. If he's not okay with you to hang around other guys, then he needs to show that same respect towards you.

I think you both need to talk. You need to make him understand that what he is doing is not okay. That you are uncomfortable to him being close to that woman and that it is destroying your trust in him. I hope you both will work it out. Just hang in there.

@carebear29 I don recommend it. sometimes doubts stem from imagination and not from real source data. It’s better to take issues with calmness.

Build a harmonious family was not so difficult, but maintaining and keeping the harmonious relationship this very difficult. If the trust is not there already. Every problem there is in building the household, but if we be honest and open with each other, the problem can be resolved by sitting together. This if we have mutual trust, honest and open with each other.
