[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I was a wayward wife who had a d-day. The few months after the d-day were, obviously, very difficult for both my H and I. Your WH needs to focus on individual therapy. Obviously he has not been working on healthier coping skills if he is at this point. Have you reached out to the therapist? That person needs to know exactly where things are.

As for his work and your travel, I would wait and see how things are tomorrow afternoon. While my time after d-day was very difficult, I did not want to "leave." I felt very vulnerable and knew my choices would have consequences that I would have to face. My therapist helped me deal with that in a healthy, authentic manner. Honestly your situation sounds like your H either needs immediate medication, or is trying to avoid facing what he done so much that he is doing extreme mental gymnastics to avoid it, including talk of suicide. I've worked with many wayward spouses after my experience, and unfortunately there are some who refuse to accept what they have done no matter what. Some will literally do *anything* to avoid being seen as the "bad guy."

Finally I hope you, OP, have support from either friends, family, or a therapist. It is up to you whether you do your work trip but I agree with PP that leaving the children with your H is a no-go at this time. I am sending you strength to get through this weekend. [/quote]
