Quote From: debhgnMy daughter recently had a one night stand with a guy who works with her husband. They were out at a bar one night, her husband wanted to go home and go to bed, he left her there with his friend and figured she was in good hands.
This is absolutely totally out of character for her to have done this. Completely opposite of what she believes and stands for. She lost a baby just a few short weeks prior to this incident and had lost her grandfather just 2 months prior to that.
She told me about it the very next day and I decided that I needed to tell her husband. Many factors played a part in my deciding to do this, but one was that he has tried to commit suicie on more than once occasion and I felt that he needed to find this out in a "controlled enviorment" so to speak.
They have been separated for 4 weeks now, she is living with me. For the first couple of weeks he was very upset as expected. He then started to examine how this could have happened and actually got over it for a few days, long enough for them to take a mini vacation together.
Then suddenly out of the blue he turned into a raging bull. He has torn their home all to peices, even tried to burn it down. Holes in the wall, if it was glass it's now broken, and even cutting down some trees that her beloved grandfather had gotten her prior to his death. He has done several thousand dollars worth of damage to the home.
As for her husband, he is a 30 year old child, she is 25. He has tried to commit suicide twice, he has a very bad porn addiction, he is controlling and unloving and selfish.
She has lost all self esteem that she had prior to her marriage to him, has a low self image, and has become depressed. She has lost all respect or desire for him because of his porn addiction. She says it makes her sick to her stomach.
He has taken this opportunity to unleash terror on her and everyone around. He now feels he has the total right and actually duty to inflict his rage at anytime on anyone. In fact when he tried to burn down the house and she threaten to call the police he was outraged to think she would call the police on him since it was her that cheated.
I too am interested in this up coming show and feedback from the members here. I have a mess on my hands and don't know where to turn.
It is difficult to say the least to get to the place where you were when you told your daughter's husband about the situation she told you about in confidence - it is obvious that all of you have a three ring circus going, and are enjoying the fracas - still, it is fair to assume that you are the adult here - you need to butt out and get your daughter to a women's shelter or something where she can get mature and reasonable advice on how to deal with this guy - what would you tell yourself if this situation did result in suicide or murder, etc? get real! if you are a woman, you should be ashamed - if you are a man, you should be ashamed - very interesting interactions here that I am sure Dr. Phil could explain in either case - still - go back to the nursery rhymes and read about Humpty Dumpty - geez..........
