i am seriously getting ready to cry. it is almost eleven o'clock at night where i live and i have not seen him since about quarter to four in the afternoon. he should have been home hours ago. he is starting to make me wonder if what he said before he left was true. before he left to go take his police exam (which he said would only take a couple of hours) we had an argument and he said something to the effect of "i might as well cheat on you because i definately don't want to come back home to you"....very disturbing. i dont think i have ever heard him say things that hurtful to me.

dont cry nor stress yourself out at this moment... i think you should avoid thinking of negative things, just sit back and relax. and start worrying if he's gone for days already. perhaps he just needs space to think about your relationship. if he really loves you and faithful in your relationship im sure he'll come back. :)

i am trying my best. oddly enough i have not actually cried yet. i guess it's because i feel kinda numb right now from being so hurt. any other time i'd be balling right now, but i guess i've hit a new all time low if i feel so bad i can't feel anymore...and yeah i hope he makes it back before too much later because he took our phone (that we share) so now i have no way to contact him

just think positive, and blow up there. perhaps when your husband go back home both of you can talk. just pray that everything will be ok. and never forget that your mylot friends are always here.. :)

I wouldn't worry too much. People say things out of anger that they don't necessarily mean. He may have just been trying to make you worry so you would "value" him. I hope he comes home an you guys can work all this out

Have you tried contacting him? He could just be hiding out at a friends house.

I am sorry to hear that. I think he just said that to you because at that time he was angry. So it can't be true. I am just worried whether he has some accidents. Or perhaps he is with his friends because he is not happy at this moment. Did you try to call him or his friends? I hope he will come home soon.

thank you for your concern...and as i told the other commenters, he did come home eventually. also, i was worried he may have gotten hurt too because he doesnt have another car yet, so he had to walk home. i was scared he may have gotten hit by a drunk driver or something...

Hi Birdie, It has been hours now since you started this discussion so I hope that by now your husband has made his way back home to you. I am no longer married but I remember this feeling oh so well from the days when I was. Whenever my husband and I argued and he left the house in anger, I would feel bad the entire day. And then if he didn't come home when he should of I tore myself apart not knowing whether to be angry, hurt or scared for him. My husband was one that would go to the bar or a friends and drink so I really had that worry on my head too. I usually couldn't sleep until he walked through the door and I knew he was alive and well at least. As for his words, well they are very cruel but I would not take them too much to heart. As you said, the two of you were arguing and I don't think that most of us can say that we haven't said some hurtful things in a moment of anger that we really did not mean at all. I hope your husband has returned and the two of you have patched things up.

thanks for your concern. he did finally come home at about one o'clock in the morning. and he told me that his police exam just went really late due to the number of people testing. also, he told me that they graded the tests on site and that he had to walk home because he couldnt get a ride back

maybe he took the test and went out for a drink. I don't think you should worry that much. but try to talk to him when he gets back home. hope you work your problems out. cheers

I think you should try to contact him. Just ask if he's okay or what time would he be home. Make sure you let him know that you are just worried that something bad might have happened to him. If your worried that he's cheating then ask him about it in a calmly manner and not in a accusing tone. And if ever he really is cheating then its your call. You have to decide basing it on the consequences that you are willing to live in.

Don't assume the worst. He should not talk that way, but the two of you need to get some things worked out. I have had it happen that my husband has left to do one thing, and then has added something like helping someone with car trouble. Do let him know that you care about what happens. I do find that once you say hurtful things the first time it gets easier and easier to be hurtful. Hugs to you.

thank you. hopefully it is just one of those days when weird stuff just happens and holds him up (believe me, he has the weirdest things happen to him even when i am there). although i can think of many good reasons he has to come home at 1 in the morning....because that's what time it is now

yeah he did...eventually. but it was around 1 in the morning. i was told it was work related, but it does seem a bit strange that anything would go that late

So sorry to hear about your situation , I know how hard it is to wait for someone who don't even bother to call or text so that you may know if he really wants to be waited or not.The best thing to do is call him and asked what happened.You said you have an argument before he go but it's natural for a couple and at least I guess you know if its really a bad argument.I hope he is already home.

if you feel like crying, just cry it out. Does your husband does that every time or is this only a one-off thing? Perhaps he was having a bad day or is worried of his exam which is why he said such a thing to you. I see that you have post this 1 day ago. How are things now?

I am sorry to hear but in every relationship there are ups and downs. Maybe, he went somewhere to calm down after the police exam. He might need his alone time, catching dinner by himself or something. I hope everything works out, don't cry. Hope all goes well, feel better!
