    I havnt been on for a while due to things being rocky for a while but its all come to a head and the relationship is off.

    We had an argument a few months ago where I said that if I didn't get more jiggy jiggy I was going to get some elsewhere. As an unmarried young woman once a month when I initiate it is not enough. He said fine maybe then you will leave me alone.I went away for the weekend with my friends and got ridiculously drunk and thought duck it he told me too so I will.

    I had had many a word with him about his neglecting me (i have had a tough past and need lots of hugs and kisses otherwise I start to feel unloved) and the last time he actually made an effort to spend any quality time with me is my birthday in august. Since then he has either been at work or on his computer. He started working 12 hour night shifts on minimum wage instead of trying to find a better paid job.

    Last Friday we had another argument where he said he couldn't deal with the fact that I abused his trust and slept with someone else. Hello you told me to. Now he said I obviously don't know him enough to know when he is joking. Even though it took him until last weekend to tell me why he hates birthdays and Xmas when I have been asking for almost 18 months. Anyway Friday after the argument he he said he didn't want to sleep beside me anymore so I told him he knows where the spare room is. His response was get out of the ducking bed 'female dog' before I ducking hit you.

    Therefore I will be leaving for a while but will be sure to return when I find a man who is worthy of me and understands and trust me.

    I am trying to sell my wedding things at work as It's free but anything I have left will be going on ebay via my sister - berrysmoothieamanda.

    Good luck everyone.

    Sorry but I'm in shock that you actually took his word for it and slept with someone else?
    What did you think would happen after that?....happy ever after? really?

    My h2b works 12hour shifts too including nights 7 days a week (4 days, 3 nights, 4 off, 3 days, 4 nights, 3 off then start again) so we hardly see each other as when he is home he's asleep or the kids need our attention BUT when we do SEE each other we make it special....cuddles on the couch, a dvd, a nice meal just the two of us etc etc etc....that's when hes not on the ps3 and I'm on here lol.

    Sorry hunni but I feel he has every right to be angry that you slept with someone else regardless of what he said you are meant to be in a relationship and I for one would and HAVE ended (my 12 year marriage) the relationship the second I found out about it!!


    But that aside I hope you find someone in the furture who deserves you and treats you like a queen.....and when they "jokeingly" say something you know them well enough to know that it is just that a joke!!

    This is just my opinion so don't shoot me!

    Sorry to hear its ended, I hope you can find someone who loves you and gives you more affection. You did cheat on him tho, so I can understand why he does not trust you. On the few occasions me and h2b do argue we say things that we don't mean, and I would never go and act on what has been said x x

    Can see both sides of the sotry but it seems he pushed & pushed you away until he had pushed too far.

    Sorry it took this for you to talk properly about everything and that you will not be around for a while
    No-one deserves to be threatened the way he threatened you though, that is not on!

    sorry hunn but you cheated ....you complain about him working 12hr shifts ,how about if was to work away and you only saw him every 3/4 months ? Mr lala did that for the 19 months before we got married and we saw each other for a total of 10 weeks in that time .....and he is away again now & not home till 22nd DEC .

    did you really want to marry him ?

    I hope that you find the love that you are looking for in the future

    Hails and Georgie. H2B and I are in the same position, his job means he works extended shifts and nights and when something like the riots last summer kicks off I won't see him for days or like the Olympics, we hardly got any quality time together for 3 months, we're like ships passing in the night.

    That said, I think the issue here from reading what she said was that she felt unloved, neglected and ignored, even when he was home .................not condoning the cheating bit as I'd never do that, I'd just walk away from the relationship if I felt that stongly about the way I was being treated, however, I can understand she had her reasons and I think if she didn't do it now, sounds like the relationship may have broken up at some point so better it happened now rather than after they got hitched. I get the impression that there wasn't much love coming from her H2B or if there was it just was not enough and in the end it just was not meant to be.

    I just hope that in the future she can find someone who gives her the attention she needs and where the love is there flowing from both parties and she does not feel she could ever sleep with someone else.

    I cant understand in the slightest why you think its his fault? You slept with someone else...he probably said ''go on then'' because he didnt actually think youd go out and sleep with someone else..

    Its my opinion and some people may disagree...but I actually think its him that deserves someone better, you slept with someone else as an excuse to get out of the relationship when you should of just left first..thank god your not marrying eachother anymore...poor guy, sorry if its blunt, but if it was the other way round and he slept with another woman, i doubt you'd let him say well ''it doesnt matter you told me to''

    He cheated too its just that I was adult enough to admit to it instead of getting an sti and blaming it on the new cream he had been using for 3 weeks already.

    If he had had a job that meant he was away from me for months at a time I would of been fine with it. Just the fact I moaned I never saw him when he worked nights for minimum wage and pointed out there was day jobs for more money doing the exact same job (he is an agency worker) so we could spend more time together and have money to go out occasionly he just started working 12 hour nights instead.

    The fact he threatened you isn't nice but like lots on here just because U dont get enough doesn't gove U the right to cheat, id love more but it dont happen however many times I mention it but I love my h2b and would never think of cheating even if he told me to, im his and his only.

    I'm sorry to hear it hasn't all worked out for you, but I do think that you are now both better off without each other. It's a shame the way it happened, as I do not agree with cheating in any way, in my eyes, if you want to be with someone else then you finish with the person you are with first. That being said I can understand that you wanted to feel more wanted but I get an inkling that this is a bit more deep rooted within you than just your ex h2b not paying you enough attention. My advice would be to go and get some counselling to help to you to learn to love yourself so that you do not crave affection from other people to make you feel wanted or loved as this can be a slippery slope to go down xxx

    Ok well that's new info (him cheating as well)
    In that case it still doesn't give you the go ahead to do it back!
    Personally I think there is alot wrong with your relationship for him to cheat in the first place and for you to take him seriously to do it back rings alarm bells to me!

    I think the end of this relationship is the best thing hunni
    And now hopefully you can find someone who you will be able to get what you want from without them or you going elsewhere for!

    The best of luck for the future

    All I want to say is 2 wrongs does not make a right. You need to think back to how you felt when he cheated on you that may have been a mistake but you seem to have intentionally cheated as you said it before you did it.
    but hey things happen and I hope you find love, happiness and trust in the future

    To me this doesn't sound like it was a happy relationship anyway.

    The fact that you actually discussed your intention to cheat if you didnt get what you want (more affection), just shows that the relationship was kind of difficult and messed up. You say he gained an sti that he blamed on cream as he had been cheating too, he never showed enough affection. If you were feeling so unloved you should have walked away there and then instead of degrading yourself and cheating also. What you've done there is given someone who's obviously having problems with you ammo to turn it round and make it all your fault (seeing as by the sounds of it he's denied ever cheating).

    I guess you will both have learnt a hard lesson from all this and when you do finally meet the man for you hopefully you will have learned from your mistakes here. And hopefully your ex-h2b will too

    Sorry I agree with everybody else just cos he said go sleep with someone else doesn't actually mean go and do it, I could never cheat on someone you're meant to love and get married to.
    I think its a lucky escape for both of you just hope that when you do meet someone else you learn from your mistakes and the karma doesn't come back and bite you on the bum.

    I think neither should have cheated at all. If anyone is even contemplating cheating it is always better to end the relationship or try to resolve the issues before someone cheats. He shouldnt have cheated.... but neither should you. It sounds like both of you are best out of this one so maybe this is a blessing in disguise. I also hope both of you learn your lessons for the future and never put another partner in the same situation.

    I also think you may need some counselling about feeling unloved etc although to be honest I sometimes felt like that but then I met someone else and jut realised that before I was with complete and utter divvies. You dont need s*x to feel loved and this is something you need to get help with otherwise this may continue to happen to you in the future.
    I hope everything sorts itself out.

    also I think working 12 hour shifts and having to travel is going to tire anyone out. Please bear this in mind when meeting the new man of you dreams.... he may just really be very tired after working so hard to bring in the pennies. I am a teacher and work 8-3 and then pretty much all night. I am normally too stressed to give out cuddles but hubby to be understands this and knows he is truely loved. I defo think this is something you need to work on in future or history will just keep repeating itself.

    My h2b works 24/7 shifts with his main job and then any spare time working in the reserves. I barely see him and I don't like it. But my h2b loves the reserves and the extra money is for us. It's his choice and I won't get in the way of it.

    Regardless of this I would not cheat on him. No matter how abandoned / lonely I feel.

    It seems to be for the best that the pair of you have split up. I hope you can both heal and move on.

    I am sorry this has happened, but to be honest......did you REALLY believe that sleeping with someone else was somehow OK because he had said so......you had to have known he didnt mean it but took it literally so that you could blame him for your own infidelity. You actually say.....''well he told me to''.............
    My husband works 12 hour nights every third week, and yes he gets tired....I would not expect any kind of affection/attention at these times......he is dead on his feet. And the place he works have all had to take a 5% paycut.....do you know how difficult it is at the moment to find work? and when you do its poor pay.
    Its probably best that this happened now and not after you were married.

    I am shocked you say you want a man that is worthy of you......so you sleep with another man at the drop of a hat, when everything in the garden isnt rosy.......and the man you are with is somehow NOT worthy of you?
    We dont get love, affection, attention, commitment and adoration from a man JUST because we are a woman or because it is our right.......we get it because we earn it.....by love and trust and friendship.

    I think the title of thus thread 'all my hard work down the drain' suggests that you are more upset that the wedding is off than the fact that you split up from this man.

    To be quite honest it is usually women wanting more than men but society tells us otherwise. Women equate love with s3x whereas men tend to differentiate the two. All sorts of factors can decrease a man's libido and working 12 hour shifts is certainly enough.

    I don't think you have found the one hun because you would be heart broken about losing him rather than your hard work being for nothing. When you do find the one you wouldn't dream of cheating just because you weren't getting any, whether or not you were 'permitted' to so.

    I hope you do find someone special and when you do please don't throw it away!

    and to be honest I could maybe see your point if u said he is a lazy article that won't work etc (well not really, I still couldn't see your point) but u are complaining at the guy working 12 hour shifts and being tired! At least he's out working. And u think that this gives u the right to cheat on him? clearly he shouldn't have cheated on u either but your argument is severly flawed. U both need to cut your losses, sorry for being harsh but this situation sounds ridiculous. In no universe, no matter what, under no circumstances, is it ok to cheat on someone. Just leave.

    Was the comment to do with the fact someone suggested I need counselling due to the affection issues I have?

    I had counselling a couple of years ago but the woman was rubbish. She just sat there nodding her head going ' I know how you feel' when the truth was she didnt give two hoots and wasnt even listening.

    Last week a friend of mine made me write down all of the things I think could be the cause of it all and since then I have felt alot better about myself. It took alot of tears and five pages of a4 paper.
