My husband is really angry with me now--so what's new! I'm starting to think he is mad because I FOUND the note. That just upset his perfect world. I also did something else after I opened the girlfriend's note. I was quite distraught about the whole situation, so I showed it to my family. In doing so, I asked my mother if she thought I should show it to our children. A little background here...my parents have been married 65 years and my children are ages 14-18. My mother agreed with me and said that she felt it should be shown to our children. She is tired of how he has done our family. She is also tired of how he has always mentally abused me to some degree. He will do or say things that make me brake down emotionaly and just deny that he did anything. When these things occur he denies any involvment (puts on the halo) and acts as though I have mental problems. Anyway, I did show the card to our children and I talked to them about it. At their ages, they have a right to know why their mother's life is an emotional nightmare. Two of the children are girls and I want them to know that that behavior is not to be tolerated inside a marriage. As for my son, I want him to know that he should never treat a wife as his father has treated me.
Anyway, I'm glad I did show them. However, my husband is furrious about that--the truth is out now! I dread going to couseling tomorrow. Oh, he still denies doing anything with this lady too!
