Confusion
My husband and I have been together for 24 years and married for 18. We haven't had a great marriage. We have both broke up with each other for someone else. But for some reason he has ALWAYS accused me of cheating. I lost friends and my life over it. I no longer talk to anyone because of this. And yes I realize this is mental abuse, which I have a history of. Yes eventually it became to much, never knowing if this time he told me to leave would be the last. And I did cheat, was caught and for the first time in my life I saw what I actually meant to him. That not just our children where is world. He said it to me. He showed it to me. For over a year life was feeling amazing. Sometimes he would still joke but no where close to how it used to be, that was a year and a half ago. Now I never know. He has been questioning about divorce and things but still so affectionate. Then just a few weeks ago the man I used to know came back. I do way less now the I ever did. Not on any social media platforms. And I go nowhere except work without him. I don't want to lose him. Sorry so long. I just don't know what to do.
Hi @wakko779
18 yrs of marriage is long. Things have been done, words have been said, and the novelty has faded. Forgiveness for what had happened and said, acceptance and commitment will be needed to keep going.
Have you asked what made him thinking of divorce now after all the efforts to go that far?
