Should I still marry him?? Help feeling so low

[xhannahxbanan]

Right I know I shouldn't get so worked up about this cuss it not like he cheated but I feel so betrayed!! My fiance and I wnt out Thursday night but me with my friends and his with his work friends.

I had all these men coming onto me and my oh said he would meet me later that night... I kept textin him saying I needed his help and I wanted to go home bear in mind I waited to tell him thi till 1am

Well I kept calling him and he didn't answer till hour later and he said he was at this bar so I started walking down and to the bar and it was shut but the strip bar wasn't!!

Now I obv went mad and rang him and said I didn't want him near me and also when he found me I gave him a black eye and a fat lip but I'm back home with him now and I don't think I cam forgive him.


How could someone that loves you do that he didnt have a dance he said that he got given tokens and he got the piss taken out of him for not but how do I believe him??

The thing that makes it worse is that he knows vie been depressed and that I'm not happy with my body after having our daughter 5months ago and that I hate strip bars it's soo slezy to just have a drink in there with half naked girls all perfect


I don't even feel like I want to marry him I'm so upset!!

tbh...I think you hitting him was worse than him going to a strip club. Maybe you should be more concerned with that part

 

[Miss_d]

is your wedding booked? i think you should call it off, as there is obiviously no trust and theres violence involved!

 

[xhannahxbanan]

Yer the wedding is booked I only hit him cus I found hi
There and I have no body confidence it was horrible fining him there hence why I hit him!! I love hi
But I feel really betrayed and I don't think hitting him wad worse!! Ive had depression etc and when your oh knows that surely he should support you no matter how drunk you are and not walk into a bar like that I worked in the bar to help my fried out there and they all walk around naked and also the other reason I hit him was cuss I was basically getting harrased all night and he was In there all along

 

[katieandbump]

Oh no i think he is in the wrong for going there as you say you've got no confidence and he knows that does seem a bit suss and not the actions of someone who loves you but i agree with the girls if there's violence involved something big needs to change it can't stay the way it is. Could you go to counselling together or something maybe you to see a confidence coach and him to learn how to support you more. You have a little girl together so have to think of her first. Maybe have a big break from each other for a bit can you go and stay at family or something for a few weeks?

 

[LittleAurora]

Sounds like you have more issues going on and need to re evaluate your relationship. try couples counselling.

Altho...there is still no excuse for violence, i doubt very much you would be saying the same thing if he hit you.

 

[aly888]

I think the violence needs addressing to be honest. Although that doesnt make what he did any less hurtful
It's one thing for him to go to a strip club, but to not come find you when you said you needed help is a bigger issue for me!

All that said, if he doesnt call off the wedding himself (I know I would if a partner hit me), then I think you need to bring the conversation up with him that perhaps you delay it a bit and both attend couples counselling He shouldn't be doing things that he knows are going to hurt your feelings, but you should also trust him enough to be able to live his own life! So it's all about give and take..

Does he know that there were men hitting on you all night? Do you think that may have hurt his feelings? At least in a strip club you know the woman arent hitting on him (and also, just to throw it out there, the girls in clubs like that arent always "perfect"...far from it!) But that is not why blokes go. They go because they know they 'arent supposed to', so it's not about seeing half naked women, but about doing something 'naughty', iygwim?

Your wedding is just under a year away. Why not both agree to go to counselling (and maybe you go to your own sessions too for your self confidence issues) in the mean time and hopefully by the time your wedding comes around next year you will both be in a much happier and trusting place xx

 

[xhannahxbanan]

I know that i shouldnt have hit him etc but just finding him there broke my heart etc and i did have a drink blah blah just my reaction . it was horrible seeing him walk out of that door when i needed him the most.


he was ment to meet me there and he keeps saying he knows he was in the wrong etc but maybe your right we need couples councilling cus i cant forget about it i just keep crying and not feeling good enough its horrible.

he did know i was texting him but you know what its like when people are really drunk etc they just get too drunk and dont think right,

i'll look into doing what you guys said cus i do love him but i really cant look at him with out feeling sick.

it might just be me and the way that i dont agree with going in places like that cus its slezy or maybe the fact that he was there when i needed him.

thanks guys

Oh hun. i feel so sorry for you. Yes it wasnt right to hit him, but trust me, my OH has wound me so much at times (usually when we are drunk) ive gone to slap him and missed....thankfully! i would never condone violence in relationships but I can understand why you thought it was a good idea ...at the time!

I dont think counselling is a must at the mo- just a sit down and a talk would be OK unless you discover there are hidden reasons for this. You say your not very confident- neither am I, but your OH should make you feel like the sexiest woman alive (which mine thankfully does!).

Have a little chat!!!

 

[pinkmummy]

I agree with the others. I would call it off as violence is no good for any relationship whether you have low self confidence, were drunk or whatever its just a no-no.

As someone else said if he hit you he would probably be banged up for domestic violence.

I would not be happy if my OH was in a strip club but there is no way in hell I would give him a black eye and a fat lip! I was totally appauled to read that tbh!!

 

[edinsam]

Sounds to me that the strip club was the icing on the cake and the fact you are here asking us this tells me you already know the answer , maybe postone the wedding until you have sorted out the issues you have

 

[lollylou1]

like others have said the voilence to him is awful and u clearly dont trust him, i wouldnt care whether my OH went to a strip club because i trust he would look and wouldnt touch and he comes home to me! i lack a lot of confidence in alot of areas but the main thing is i trust him!
I think maybe getting yourself some counselling rather than couples counselling may be better and just a good sit down with OH to discuss your issues! sorry ur having a hard time

the violence is not rigth and you clearly do not trust him so maybe you need to think if it fair on your baby to be in an enviroment liek that?

What I that supposed to me an enviroment like that???

That's out if order! How do you know what sort of environment she has?? I'm depressed fair enough but I'm always making sure my child is happy! Just goes to shoe that these places don't support you In anyway. I asked for help and I've just been grin grief

[xhannahxbanan]

Just cus I hit Him when I seen him walk out of that club doesn't mean I'd do it again let alone around my daughter!!!

No violence isnt right and i think she knows that, but u just avin ago at her is bad enuf...she's obvioulsy lost alot of confidence and is crying out for help, and ure on otha end judging her for doing it....are u soooo perfect????? personally i think we shud be supporting her to make the desesion best for her and her FAMILY, not point the finger!!!!

Life isnt the bloody waltons u know, n some ppl out there need supporting , not judging!!!

no your right life isn't the waltons, but you need to think about something here, i was in a violent relationship for ten years and believe me when you are on the receiving end of it then you feel very different,
ok so he was wrong in her eyes for going a strip club but why did she hit him, why not have a go yeah as she wasn't happy but why take the step of using violence? if the boot was on the other foot i am pretty sure there would be many a woman on here saying she should leave or at least take some time out of the relationship so why is it different if its a woman hitting a bloke? long and short of it is she overstepped the mark and she needs to feel remorse for that. at the end of the day what has he said about it? is he saying he wants out? if the answer is no then i guess he must LOVE her so why is it such an issue he went to let off some steam with his friends? as he said he didn't have a dance, he respected her for that. seems to me the OP has some issues with how she is feeling as a woman, having babies does that but she needs to trust him, so maybe she needs to address her feelings, talk to him, try spend some quality time with him and make herself feel good, i also had PND and i know how low you can get but once you start using your emotions as weapons then the relationship will continue to go downhill, as i said if the boot was on the other foot the replies would be very different.
i do hope the OP can get herself sorted with her hubby to be, xx
