So much harder than I thought

Maybe some of you will remember three months ago i split from my husband after 14 years of marriage. The crunch came when his daughter 27 invited just him to her wedding and not myself or our lovely 12 year old son. I coped with that but then she said i wasn't even allowed to go on the island in Greece where her wedding was being held and i waited for four months for my husband to do something or make a decision without me interfering but he didn't. This follows 14 years of marriage when

He wanted me to leave my safe good job because it was working for my ex and so converted part of his work place into a studio for me a year after i gave birth to his baby. |He then charged me rent for it. So I had a new baby a new business baby minding fees paying half the household bills looking after my older tow children but he charged me rent.

I was taken into hospital 9 weeks before the birth and was self employed. He never offered to pay my share of the bills even tho he knew i couldn't work. Our baby was born 9 weeks early i was very ill and phoned my ex up from the hospital to ask him for money. Thats how he made me feel
Three years into our marraige i had a lump in my breast i waited 4 weeks for an apportionment fortunately was ok and then 6 months later found a letter that he his three daughters were all in BUPA (Expensice UK private health care ) he never thought to add me.

His daughter used to come to the house refuse to say hello thankyou etc made nasty comments infront of my children called me a slag and told them who i had slept with previously (aged 13)

We bought a house in France my husband felt guilty she wouldnt see it even tho we always asked her on holidays with the others (His other two daughters were fine) but she refused to come. I said it was fine to ask her even tho I knew that was my holiday ruined! He did and she said no so he said no rpoblem just me and you will go! So he took her on her own.

I could go on and on with these type of things but the problem is now he is in apsolute bits. I left in April but went back July to try again but ended up leaving again as I have now met somebody else. My husband didn't particularity try to woo me back I think he thought I was just sulking and would come round as I have done in the past. But now he knows its for real he is texting me ALL the time begging pleading promising me the earth to go back. But then he gets really nasty texting my friends and family calling me a slag a shit mother etc . Im exhausted by it all Any help?

wow!!! that sounds awful. when I left my ex-husband he tried all of that too. I wanted to believe him but I knew better. Still, he made it harder for me with all of his empty promises and his nasty comments. my advice is to limit your communication and contact with him as much as possible, it will make it easier on you that way!!! you know what you did was the right thing, be strong!!!! you deserve more!
