He's Found Out! Not My Finest Hour

As I write this I think I am a stupid fool, and I only have myself to blame!
When I came back from the gym I had found out that he had gone into my bedroom and read my personal diary, hence finding out that I was going to leave him in October!
The shite well and truly hit the fan! The confrontation I had been avoiding was unavoidable, however he was not as angry because he was in the wrong, he had treated me like a child by reading my personal diary he had NO right whatsoever
So today he's been playing the bad guy, good guy routine. He's either going off about having to rehome the cats, wishing he was dead and he's got no life and no one wants him. Then he's all over me like a rash can't do enough for me!
It's been a gut-wrenching day, although part of me thinks it's better that it's out in the open and partly a relief. I am looking at it positively out of bad comes good and all that
I do feel numb, I do feel sick inside and I'm not sure if the next couple of months will be hell or easier, knowing that he knows he'll double his efforts to get me to stay.
I do blame myself because I am stupid enough to keep a diary and ok I shouldn't have left it around, even if it was in my bedroom.
Now he wants a meeting tomorrow, but at least it'll be civil. The honesty has gone on both sides.
He had to discuss it with me and was sorry it happened on his birthday...
Certainly not my finest hour and it has knocked me for six!

Honey I think in the end this is better. Please tell him why you are leaving. This may help him change and get his life in a better light. Now you can go forward without always looking around to see if you'll get found out. Sweets just keep focusing on the fact that you know what you are doing. You have a plan and goals you have set for yourself. I am so very proud of you my friend because you will succeed!
Love u Buddy

He had no business reading your diary, and that is what he gets when he does. Unfortunately he found out, and now he knows, not your fault, he read something personal and he shouldn't of. I don't know the background behind all of this, but I hope it sorts itself out. At least he knows, and it's a big relief for you in a way, now comes the part where it all happens. Getting through it until you do go. Sorry to hear that and I hope the meeting goes well for both of you tommorrow.

He had no right to read your diary in that way little bro - I was so angry when I found out he had done that! I have to agree though that it is probably better that everything is out in the open and you do not have to feel so careful! I am thinking of you sweets and I know that although it will be hard but you are a lot stronger now and I know that you will cope and remain upbeat - remember your big sis will help fight your corner any time you need me! Hugs Honey xxxx

Thank you sis, and thank you for just being there when I needed you! He's now walking on eggshells with me. When I see you I have lost count of the amount of hugs I owe you! I think in retrospect and all my friends and family have now said yes it is better that it's out in the open, make things a lot a harder, but the gold is highly prized at the end of the rainbow so it's worth it xxxx

You owe me nothing little bro but I do look forward to the day when we can catch up for real and have real hugs together! I am so glad that you are coping and I know that you are not going to let him erode your confidence or your happiness! Keep strong my darling and remember how much you are loved - by people who would never try to manipulate you! Hugs and love xxx

Rule number one when keeping any secret: NEVER EVER put anything in writing.
Live and learn.
I was just glad he's not trying to kill you.
All this talk of having to watch your back and hide for the rest of your life from this man caused me to think you were dealing with a potential psycho-stalker type of ex.

The best laid plans..., wolfie. I have to wonder, though, if, subconsciously, you left your diary where he could get at it because you wanted him to find out. It's very hard trying to keep a secret over a long period of time. Maybe you just wanted everything out in the open. But how low could he go-sneaking and reading your diary like that? In my opinion, you're better off not living with someone who would do that. It was an all out invasion of your privacy.

Maybe because I reap what I sow! I was bound to get caught out at some stage and what I was doing is sending out bad karma and I got bad karma in return! So yes you are right maybe I did subconsciously but it was the way he found out. He was feeling insecure, he didn't trust me and wanted the answers from my inner most thoughts.
It has also put me off writing a diary from now on...

If things get too bad you can always go to your parents..do not let him push you around and if there is anyway that you could move sooner...you would still have the ultimate element of surprise...which could work in your favor...if he is still trying to woo you..
I am sorry that you have had to spend most of the day fighting and arguing as I have been there before, my dear friend...
Be careful and take care of yourself...xoxo

I can not understand this.
How does he dare going into your personal stuff and reading your diary.
the way you are describing things between you two, he acts like he can do anything, and he does not honor you much by treating you as a child.
If i was instead of you, i would go to him and tell him that he is not welcome anymore as a friend or as a roomate, and that he has to find another place to live in.

Just another reason to add to your list,of untrusting childish behavior on his half. I would suggest when you have your talk not to give him to much information about your plans. Let him vent ,let ot roll of your back and cary on with your plans.

Obviously, as the other responders have said, he should not have read your diary. He has no right to invade your personal space and no right to hold anything he found against you. At least you seemed somewhat relieved about him finding out. This way there is not so much hanging over you, making you worry and stress... although now you have new stresses, I understand. Honesty feels pretty good though, I bet. I hope all goes well for you and you stay strong... good luck.

Well Sweetie I found this out on the Phone today as I am so behind on everything first of all he had no right at all to go in your Room and read your Diary there is no such thing that it is your Fault because you have a Diary it is his as he broke the trust by going into your Room snooping
So there is only one Person to blame here and that is him

I am lucky to have mummymo's number, and I have to admit that I did call on my big sis straight away yesterday, as well as the great support from my lovely friends like yourself. I have my retreat in a couple of days that is my sanity!

It's not that you were stupid enough to keep a diary, it is that he was stupid enough to read it. He is the idiot, not you. You need to quit blaming yourself and tell him off!!! I think a really good reason for you to leave is that you can't trust him, and that he has just proven it!

Well, sorry that you feel bad but it is not your fault. You know the old saying..."be careful what you ask for" Well for him it is "be careful what you snoop around for" No one has the right to go through your personal diary. You now also know that you cannot trust him, so you are better off leaving him if that is your intention. Sometimes God works in mysterious ways to show us things. Take care of yourself...

Hey Ya wolfie ,
I am going to agree with everyone else about someone going into your private thoughts like that.It maybe for the best that everything is out in the open. Just dont let him guilt you into anything.It is a shame that someone keeps other people tied in knots like that by threatning to end their life.If it gets bad there dont wait the 2 months get out.

Oh no- I wondered if he would find out- You did say he has been acting strangley around you- like knowing something was up- so he went looking to find out for himself- Too bad it was on his birthday- He isn't going to hurt you now that he knows will he? I think it will be easier now to move- at least to make sure things are in order- Not so much for having to live with him for that long- I almost think it might be better to move out sooner- Is that possible? Instead of putting yourself through living with the guilt trips!

First he has NO right to read your diary that's personal and second he is not your mother/father. He is doing everything he can to get you to feel bad for him well it's time to tell him how you feel and you are going no mater what and don't listen to him just go "La,la,la,la,la,la" and thisk positive which I know you are thinking positive :) Keep up the good work wolfie.
