"My wife" doesn't mean me :-(

Hi - I'm sorry if this is a bit rambly, but I'll try to make it short!

My DH and BM have been separated for 6 years, divorced for 4 and we've been married for nearly 2, but this still happens from time to time and cuts like a knife.

This is a woman he loathes, wanted to leave (and asked her several times for a divorce over the years before he finally left - not for me I might add, although she has retconned history that I was the OW).

How do you know if you're having a breakdown?

I'm genuinely asking...

Since Monday morning when I asked my FDH to remember that I exist at weekends when the children are here, he's treating me as though I am the very worst person in the world. He has totally withdrawn all physical and emotional affection. Really careful not to call me any pet names or tell me he loves me. Just a cursory "love you too" if I say it, no hugs, no proper kisses (just the quickest peck before going to work), no chatting, no conversation, nothing. Just the bare minimum of human interaction. Being really careful not to touch me or brush past me.

My first post

Hello all! I've been lurking for a long time - gathering lots of strength from women who've been through it all and making me feel less alone.

This is the first time I've blogged as I felt desperately like I needed to reach out...
