runaway bride syndrome

I particularly dont trust women, which is really hard as Ive always been very pro-women, but my MIL and the OW and a couple of female friends recently have shown me a disloyal side to women. She is a good person. Mid-Life Crisis? But in any case, its now not even an option. Its been 2 months now since my H left our home and only 6 weeks since DDay so Im only having flashes. I was determined no matter what happened in my marriage I would come out the other side better for it. When considering a deal, it's critical to work with trusted advisers, strong legal counsel and sophisticated lenders, Mike says. I knew something was wrong for that year and half and tried everything in my power to find out what was wrong. The narrative has now become all justification for the A. One of the issues related is financial. Its Friday night here, and you know what? Theres lots of sights in it for the money. He may fight you but thats ok. They are banding together to sanitise this whole thing to make my H the victim and throwing me under the bus. First welcome to the group to which no one ever wanted to belong. Its funny how you read things and you see some similarities. Sitting around waiting for some kind of epiphany from her is NOT going to happen. Oh theres more. Shed be sleeping a foot away from me but it felt like an ocean. Yes they cheat because of opportunity and because of low moral standards, character flaws, weakness you name it. Thats why he threatened to quit the business. If its an amount that youd love to have, then tell him you accept his offer to buy you out of the business since he thinks that amount is fair. I hear you Puzzled. I have been NC but the usual once a week business day is tomorrow when we cannot avoid communication. I think it is alcohol dependency or addiction / depression / possible exec burnout / OW ++ One of the symptoms that not many people realize that is associated with mosquito borne illnesses, is depression and anxiety. I did not appreciate the patronising disrespect that BSA directed towards me personally. Please be kind to yourself. She's not gonna have runaway bride syndrome, she hasn't even gotten enough time to develop it." "W-well, I mean, I'm still about to get married, dude!" he responded as he watched the girls from his class join the party and settle into the front row, across from Nekomaru and Dachi. Yes, theres a lot of similarities with HS crap here in some latest discussions. All I can say is that I do feel as though I am dealing with a particularly difficult toddler / child. Better to let it out than keep it bottled up inside. What has worked and NOT worked for ME. Just lucky H has never been cheated on. But it may be too late b/c he can only damage your M so much before it is beyond repair. Lather rinse repeat two or three times. We are an amalgamation of many cultures and life experiences. Ever. But slowly slowly get out of your house. Not looking forward to it. That was brilliant!! I threw down the gauntlet of its now or never. Sadly you have to move on and continue your life without him. The thing that makes me believe it was, at least partially, a MLC is this: she kept saying things like when is going to be my turn to do what I want and its time for my happiness and other things to that affect. I dont know about anything anymore. The storming off when things dont go the cheaters way. I feared I could not keep it together. I was kind and compassionate and forgiving. Why does everyone else seem to recover so easily? Plenty of things he didnt show up for and I made an excuse on his behalf while he was out on the water. My husband as many here refused counseling. So is running and kick boxing!! He says our M is finished and he used the D word himself in the casual meeting but there is no way to know for sure where his head is at in any way. This guy has put not only your personal well being into peril with his stupid fantasy hes put your financial well being and your business at risk. I love this definition by Richard Grannon who has a fantastic website that specializes in all things narcissism. My H is full of self pity as we have all noted here, but its funny ( just as you were saying as per the Queen of Sheba etc) they should be happy now right? But very good that he has volunteered to come over and fix something. I told him today on the phone, when he refused to come over to do these documents Its your turn to do the right thing. But not after totally securing my home! SI TheFirstWife, Thanks for the great explanation! Your H does sound very remorseful though He thinks he really knows you. Bride was on tour until 2 weeks before the wedding date (she's in theater) so we mostly communicated via email and groom would come by to make payments and drop off items . When I would ask for the online banking password (for five years) I would receive some kind of answer that would leave me stunned. 36 years together and he just walked out with no explanation is cowardly and cruel. NC all the way with strict business protocols adhered to. Who knows what the future holds. Well as the old saying goes, blood is thicker than water. Although this kind of act rather characterizes the unstable character of the one who despaired of it. That enraged him. 50-50! I was proud of myself. Eventually, he will come out of it and see what hes done. I was cut and bleeding from flying glass. Thanks for being there and your feedback for my posts is always appreciated. I am the husband who was abandoned by a wayward wife. This is all about their seed money for the two of them. Weve grown apart. It is all a bunch of lies and justifications. Yes you do have a long road ahead of you but remember it was his behavior that was Less than, not yours. Im wondering what your therapist said / did for you that made you stay together in your M? And battle I did. Thats when I went home. You told his family. Does it mean your marriage is over? But its the emotional abuse that is worse to me than the infidelity. Im still awake between 2-5am but now Ive got a routine for that haha. Dont buy into it. I wonder how long your grief lasted as mine feels like it could be here for the long haul. I hear you about anxiety. He clearly stated 2 days ago I dont want to re R. That is a lot to face at once. Repeat my exwife was the one that ran away from me and our son. We are in this together.it just makes the burden of it all somewhat lighter. The decision that I made worked for me but it wasnt the approach that most probably have taken. He wont like it. My niece said you know this isnt helping right. Unique bridal, occasion wear & evening dresses boutique. There was no premeditation to my actions. Current mood? I hoped for reconciliation for you and he but he gave you nothing to work with. An excellent article and pretty much summed up my relationship with my now exwife. I know you two were together last night where is she. For me at least, laughter is the best medicine. Yep I just had a feeling you were in your trip. She had known. And he is respecting me more too. "'The Runaway Bride' syndrome, i.e. What do you care what a bunch of fuckwits say? According to the BBC, Jennifer Wilbanks sold the media rights to her story to a New York City company for $500,000. If you remove your permission you will agitate the CS. You will heal. Not so sure about the shape my sense of humor is in its getting pretty black in there lately !! Seriously? You must have done a lot of running to get through it. So dont take his running away personally, but have cab money just in case . And that last statement is just plain and utter bullshit that can be parsed later. He doesnt have the fortitude to deal with whats ahead. The long-term investment involved in a serious, committed relationship often makes people more vulnerablethey are terrified that the relationship might fail and leave them stranded or badly hurt. I do feel like he is being influenced by this OW or maybe just the coworkers other random people he works with who I do not know etc. I just try to be supportive and helpful b/c we all know the devastation that infidelity brings to your life. But this book Runaway Husband is excellent and provocative. Entitlement is the theme of every aspect of this mess. Cue major insights in the pre dawn hours! I just wanted to scream my husband left me and Im 56 years old and I dont know what the hell Im going to do but that could have been reason for and emergency landing somewhere over Utah and that would have been very ugly for everyone. I understand how you feel and yes I will never get over the fact that you can walk on the door and demand a D with no explanation. Hi Satori And TH, I wish I believed that Ive got this, but at least there is energy and movement rather than stuckness and inertia but you are spot on for the reasons I will outline below. God loves you with all of His heart. My honest opinion is that after you found your inner bad-ass you handled your situation the best way possible. Hope you are all well and happy. but he was once again distant. He is doing more stuff around the house lately unasked, he even expressed an interest in talking to my mother the other night, which he hasnt done in months. They needed to see me living this way every day. TryingHard It isnt surprising that hes acting mean and resentful. I did get other meds that helped me. But one person by themselves CAN and do wreck marriages. BED = Blame / Excuses / Denial > below the line thinking. You seem distant for some reason. A guy in the bar pitches the notion to Richard Gere, explaining that he's from her hometown and she's fixing to marry (or not) again. Satori When is everything going to be about me? You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have. A new yoga routine emerged. But the tune changes as soon as he has been in touch with OW and then he comes to see me again. Youre so onto it re the laughter. All kidding aside, theres still hope if you want it. Now, it's happening more so among women, for whom traditional definitions of marital roles are changing. He is helping me, he has been great. Thats why I do not mention OW at all as that feeds the drama and by not mentioning it and therefore appearing unconcerned about it then the thrill (power high) is reduced. I sincerely hope you are able to get some sleep and realize that you will get through this and it will be on your own timeline and you are allowed to grieve for as long as you need to. Right there with you TryingHard. And, just who was the pinhead that suggested you be friends with the home wrecker? I hope you can find some positive thoughts of your friend and reflect on them. Runaway Husband by Vikki Stark was the most helpful book that I have read during my situation. It is great that you can spend time together but (isnt there always a but) .it is telling and showing you it is over. I wish I had this info in 2013 when my H walked in the door and announced A and Divorce. I didnt tell anyone but my family I was gone and I swore them to secrecy which was pretty easy since by then everyone pretty much hated him. Rock on Sat. Its no fault divorce here. lol I could write a book! That is the truth!! I am sick to my stomach at the prospect. Case in point hes with you and says YES to MC but 24 hours later he changed his mind. Um he was watching something on television or sleeping in his chair when I played WWF. Your H is lying to himself and his family is buying in to his pity party. It makes me wary that H is just cashing out his chips (my accountant said that!!) Keep pushing through. I said to her, I am going to the bank! A few months into R and my H had the colonoscopy too. And I believe those that take the stance and putting all their eggs in one basket to explain away their spouses affairs by attributing the term, MLC or sex addiction, are fooling themselves. Its him. Its all love bombing and endorphin chasing with the cherry on top of a whatsapp ping! Straight narc pride. I left out the part where I came to the office and confronted the OW. At least 50 per cent of all people getting married get a case of either cold feet or seem to have feet that want to run away from the altar. MLC is NOT just about having an affair. Doesnt have me controlling him or dominating him. (My post of 8/12 suggested she may still be around). He denied she was his Plan B. I asked for and he said he would show me proof that he had ended it formally with her. Thank you SingleDad. She even blamed me for her affair. Take care of you first. Take your time getting through your emotions and feelings. He can CHOOSE R at any time. You need to understand he may not mean what he says. Hugs to you and remember to breathe. Cheating is never acceptable but cheating in and of itself doesnt have to be a deal breaker. Things are pretty good but as you can tell I have NOT forgotten anything and I know I never will. So yep, onwards. Eight months huh? Last year (3years after DDay) he finally went to counseling. The trauma of watching someone you love change before your eyes and not being able to do anything about it is horrific. After being NC and just generally keeping to myself it is easy not to talk about R. I fortified that shit. Thats still so shocking to me. But, in the end, none of that mattered. I had some crappy boyfriends I will admit. Hi Satori- Its a crappy situation right now. In the end he either gives up the OW and works on reconciling with you or there will be a divorce, right? Lousy effer!!! He said hed like to try again, but he changed that tune within 48 hours of saying it. 5. And that was right in the middle of the very worst, when it was H literally screaming down the phone like Veruca Salt (the greedy child in Willy Wonka! However, now Im back at home and just finished unpacking. Thats why I left again in the middle of June for CO. And what about women at that age?? But, so as not to create a difficult atmosphere, I would simply drop the issue. Sure enough it came out. No tears just fury. Others look at their life and say its been great but I want to accomplish this or this or that. I wish there was more insight/information into what makes someone capable of this kind of cold, unempathetic, behaviour? Anyhow above in my other thread up above that weve been going back and forth on as well I asked you if it was too early days to throw down the gauntlet of the MC or D. Im kind of ready to make a power move. Badass first have to apply in every situation and Im a big believer in choosing ones battles. Puzzled you write: THI cant fire her. Yes thats the archaic law I read about. Your journey seems to have followed a similar trajectory in the abuse stakes. My casual meet up went exactly as you predicted. I waited around the corner in my car waiting for him to pull up. Sarah and Trying Hard Def NOT who the OW is telling him who you are and trust me she is painting you the greedy cold frigid wife!!! STOP DOING THAT. TheFirstWife. But then I thought about my dear father and how much I loved him and what that plate meant to me and instead I cracked him in the mouth. He walked out of the bathroom and a few minutes later he called me into the kitchen. How on earth would you know someone would do this? Puzzled and TH If they were the Hs would be all happy and shiny. Affairs happen by choice not by chance. I stated months ago I believe there is another cultural layer to your story if infidelity. I sometimes want to ask my MIL how she could simply justify my wifes affair knowing me for 25 years. It could end in divorce or in reconciliation. It is possible whatever thougjts he has May change after he is living on his own. It doesnt work to enable them. Regardless, its the supportive message that is important and that is what you get here, support. I went to a MC, a psychiatrist (for meds), and two different therapists for the better part of 4 years. Its mystifying to me how they are all the same! He usually pays it 15 minutes before the policy will be cancelled. But then there was that earring I found in the back seat that he totally gaslighted me on. Not perfect but whose is? O the negative side, he is now saying he does not think R will work BECAUSE he has done so much damage to me, to the M, our intimate relationship etc. The big questions: Do we find them? our special place. Along with the hardened heart and nasty attitude. Learn to hear the inner voice, and not succumb to the influence of others. SignUp to never miss a Story again. The Italian's Runaway Bride. Stay mentally and physically healthy. This is a very interesting issue. And just to cap it all, Im going to apparently have to deconstruct what I just spent one and a half decades putting together as my H is in the affair fog and has no idea how these things go. They will be using the time as a vacay / retreat so theyll be here 24-7 until Im back and they are staying a few days longer so we can hang out too which will be nice, Im looking forward to that. Im intelligent (according to my Dad this was the ONLY positive thing my FIL said about me LOL) so I will be fine in the case of D and should just go and get a job. Otherwise, nada. impression management?) It is possible that such a psychological approach will help to "escape" from the fear of marriage. Its an affair. Lawyer is going to first level early next week. Now this convo will take a lot of intelligence on your part because you will want to believe what hes saying. And, for all of us here, that sucks. Asarrrggg. They might also have thought that the compromise they are making is not profound enough to warrant canceling the wedding and hurting their partner and other people. Not well at all. It leads to re-vitimisation and can invoke other effects such as trauma and feelings of worthlessness (Why cant I get over it? In following Satoris thread her H was a good guy for many many years. My thing was to be dignified and to not lose it with my H, tbh I had no idea that once exposed in the A he would refuse to work on our M. I was taken aback 100%. It is hard to negotiate when H made so many unilateral decisions and took things so far already (ie the pit that H dug himself in as Puzzled describes it). I think it will help. So yeah, no. Now you know. I think we deserve better treatment by fellow betrayed spouses. Ask the question dont assume they know my heart and get straight to the covering ass bit. Satori Was still in shock. Satori- I feel for you. It does t work like that. So classic mid life crisis. The lack of accountability and deflecting by BSA is a trigger. Second is to read some articles Regarding exit Affairs. My situation may seem on the surface to fly in the face of what you are saying. One nice text is not nearly enough to get out of it. It is harder sometimes to R than to D. Both are painful dont get me wrong. What timid forest creature was he at the time a weasel, a snake, a skunk, or was he being a real (wood) pecker? Everything I have read says that in most Runaway H scenarios, a mood or depressive disorder is underpinning it. After a few days off, Im in a strange new world. He has counted on you by his side and probably did not consider the effects on HIM of you not being there for him as a partner and wife. But in the end it was all just plain and simple crap that life throws at you. He could not change any beneficiaries to protect me & kids. I controlled what he ate. No drama Stream ad-free or purchase CD's and MP3s now on Amazon.com. O.M.G their intention, good or otherwise, is NOT the point. Sounds like your trip helped you with that. He kissed you. I said I was going home and going to bed. The 180 is not for him but for you to distance yourself from him and his drama. Thats hilarious and evokes school again, which is what it all felt like. He used to do volunteer work with a distress line etc. My sons said in that town if you dont have a gun or a life they dont bother with you. Actually many choices made over and over again. BSA, Thanks for your response. I hear you re the dinner with couples thing. We all have those thoughts and regrets. Thank you ALL for the fresh perspective on the PILs etc. What a fool. Only, the voice was actually a song I had never heard before called In the Middle.. Being the architect of my own happiness is what really messed with his plans since he cared not one bit what happened to me in the wake of his leaving. My anxiety has hugely reduced, not entirely gone (I suspect it will never fully go) however Im not dealing with the very worst of it on a 24-7 basis. So if he emotionally abandoned the marriage before actually leaving physically that would have been news to me too. She is in his head and thats all. As to would it happen again? For me I did some crazy things that proved to me I was going to be just fine without him. TFW, your summary is, as always, on point. Well those red flags were correct sadly. I dont know where I would be with all this if I hadnt been able to come here and pour out my pain and listen to all of you do the same.
