kicked my husband out... to the garage

i caught him talking to other women before but this time was worse. bad enough that im trying to figure out if divorce is right for us. were seeing a marriage counselor and trying to figure out what to do but in the mean time i cant live with him. i told him i need space and we cant live together right now bc we just cant get along. its pretty bad between us. i really think we need to live apart for at least a few months to work on some major relationship issues without chores and little pet peeves getting in the way. he slept in his car for 2 days because he refuses to go to his parents. i found a room for rent and set up a visit to check it out but he refused. i would go live with my mom for a bit but we have 2 dogs and a kid together so i think it makes more sense for him to leave. since hes refusing to live anywhere but home i decided to convert the garage to a makeshift apt. i set it up like a studio apt. the only thing thats missing is plumbing. hes gotta come in the house to use the bathroom. i put a little effort into it just to see if he'd go for it. so far hes stayed there 2 nights. so im willing to fix it up a little more and make it really livable for him but my mom is giving me grief about having my husband sleep in a garage so id kinda like a strangers opinion on this... i was, and still am, willing to find him a room to rent but he just wont go for it!

    You H is a dirt bag. He continues to cheat on you and you make him an apt in your garage?

    So, now he can do all his women calling in the privacy of his very own appt. that you've made for him. Nice. He is a lucky man.

     How many times does he have to do this before you finally understand he is a douche?



  • It's officially time to pull the plug on this and evict from the love den you've created for him. He will not stop cheating on despite the other issues in your marriage? Come on you don't need to consider whether divorce is right for you it IS right for you.

  • Get rid of him.

    As i said on the other board, change all the locks when he is gone for the day -- and when he returns, he will be shit out of luck. Too damn bad.

    File for divorce and get rid of this piece of trash.

    You are playing a little game --- I like to call this the "The So Close Yet So Far" Game.  It's like you TOLD him to go...but little ole hubby is still living only a heartbeat away and you think that somehow this makes things better.

    Don't play that game.

    Once a cheater always a cheater, as you can see; you have said he's done this before.

    Don't let him play games with you; file and get tested. This is a bum.
  • I hope you don't have an HOA

    Maybe not an HOA, but her H has an HO. hee hee

    Or maybe 2. Or 3.. Or 4..... or.....
  • Seriously, he may even be considered a loiterer or a vagrant and if you do have a home owners association, this isn't permitted. It's not permitted to live in a garage, period.

    Get some common sense and get rid of this piece of shit you call an "H".  And get yourself to a therapist. Evidently you let the roof fall in on you and you still think that somehow he can change his stripes. Not going to happen.
  • Wait, what?  Why were you setting up the garage and calling about apartments for him?  Why are you doing anything for this jerk at all?!

  • Wow! He's cheating and you're worried about the making the garage nice enough for him? Really? Read your post and think about what advice you would give someone. Do not make it comfortable for him to continue to be there. Get yourself together and get a divorce. Quit being his personal assistant and don't do another thing for this creep.

    Three Q's:
    1. How is the marraige counseling going and what does the counselor suggest- your already going so why not make use of them with the latest issues and the garage situation.
    2. Is your mom upset because you are going out on a limb and making a space for him near you or because he is in the garage and not on the couch or in your bed?
    3. Are you trying to work things out together or is this more of a sinking ship?
    ~E~
  • i really think we need to live apart for at least a few months to work on some major relationship issues without chores and little pet peeves getting in the way.

    If this is what you want, then he needs to get the hell out of the garage and into a place of his own, even if it is a room at the YMCA.

    I wonder how he slept in that car for 2 days without a cop banging on his window...unless you were solicitious enough to let him stay in the driveway.

    1. How is the marraige counseling going and what does the counselor suggest
    were going tomorrow. soonest he could see us and were gonna be going twice a week for a while but we only started a few weeks ago so we havent really got very deep into anything.

    2. Is your mom upset because you are going out on a limb and making a space for him near you or because he is in the garage and not on the couch or in your bed?
    she thinks we should either live together and work it out or just get a divorce and leave. she doesnt quite get the concept of putting space between us. 

    3. Are you trying to work things out together or is this more of a sinking ship?
    i think if he can really prove himself and convince me without a doubt that i can trust him again we can try to work it out...altho im not expecting too much. i just want to do everything i can to try so i can leave with a clear conscience and not revisit this....

    and no we live in the middle of nowhere so theres no HOA and as for the cops idk.... im gonna say he could probably find a gravel road and no one would bother him for a few hrs
  • Good lord. Are you fixing his meals and doing his laundry too? Grow a backbone already.

    FWIW, he might as well live in the home with you.

    C'mon....somebody can't possibly be this dumb. Or could they?

    Willing to bet he was at some chick's house for a couple of days and she too gave him the heave.  Wouldn't be surprised.

    The counseling sounds like it might be the best bet, maybe since you guys are just starting to go that will shed some light on a way forward- weather it be divorce or working things out. Sounds like you already kind of have things figured out for the time being with going to the counseling and keeping your space. I think the garage is a good place for now while you both figure out whats going on and what you each want to do about it. I am in the opinion that people can change if they want to, but I dont think that you should sit around forever waiting for it. I think your right to try and do everything you can so in the future no matter the outcome, you dont have to wonder if you did everything you could. Since you have a child together that is always difficult to divorce, esp if the child is old enough to know whats going on and not understand it.
    Good luck with the counseling and everything!!!

  • So HE messed up and YOU are trying to accommodate his garage space?  You're not his mother but you're acting like it honestly. It's not your responsibility to help him find a place. Not to be rude but he's not going to change, he hasn't - I am thinking divorce is probably the option here.
  • He's potentially got a great future ahead of him -- his wife is looking for a bachelor pad for him so he'll have someplace to do more than "talk" to other women, plus she'll probably do his shopping and cooking and cleaning and put out a little too. Maybe he can talk her into paying his rent and utilities. Talk about a sweet deal!

  • Do you have access to his phone, facebook, email?

    He needs to prove to you that he loves you and that his behavior has stopped and will stop forever. Divorce is not an option unless EXTREME betrayal. Marriage is a lot of work on both ends, and divorce is too easy.

    I think you two need to reevaluate what you want, and find a way to make it work. If you need to babysit him for a bit, then so be it, he needs to RE gain your trust again, and if he really truly loves you and wants to be with you than there should be no arguing that!

    Access to his cell phone and anything electronic?

    Meaningless.

    Maybe he's gone and gotten a second phone the OP doesn't know about and he's in touch with her using another phone -- and besides, what good will access do?

    The worm is in the apple:he's cheated and that's a dealbreaker.  His emotional committment is long gone.

    Get rid of this guy asap.

    Divorce is not an option unless EXTREME betrayal.

    So what do you consider "extreme betrayal, then? Adultery isn't extreme betrayal? oh yes it is...and it is a dealbreaker.

    DEALBREAKER.  Just like being a drunk is a dealbreaker, addictions are a dealbreaker, "forsaking all others" is a dealbreaker and abuse of a spouse is a dealbreaker.

    That's just to name only a few dealbreakers.

    It's a dealbreaker? End of him. No 2 ways about it. And no way back.
  • Whoa, people. Where in this post does it say he cheated on her? He did something worse than "talk to other women." So, did he actually cheat on you, as in he has had sex with another person? If so, yes he is a scum bag. But 2nd of all, everyone attacking this guy about him still living with her...she is the one who decided to kick him to the garage and is the one who chose to make a make-shift apartment. I think more details are needed before you start your advice here. She left a lot of stuff very vague.

    Behaving inappropriately with other women IS cheating. It is called an emotional affair.

    These "friendships" are not friendships and "talking" is not just "talking." And the OP has also said "worse" this time.

    And we will also bet that he's had sex with these women, also.

    Either way, what is there here for her? there's nothing. Once a cheater, always a cheater. She needs to make sure he's gone for good.
  • When two people agree to get married their vows are until death do us part. Society is creating marriage into a joke these days...with people just coping out, divorcing after a month, 3 months, a couple years. You both agreed to do this until death do you part, in sickness, in health, in tough times. Issues need to be worked out and not pushed under the rug.

    Emotional affairs can be worked through! Absolutely.
  • Her husband also vowed to forsake all others. Is he doing that? Nope! Emotional affairs and Physical affairs can be worked through, but only if both parties are committed. Honestly I would leave, I wouldn't be able to get past this. But then again I have self respect.
  • all I have to say is::: fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on ME!!

     

    He definitely needs to go!!!

  • it says in the bible that if a man looks at another woman with lust that he has already committed adultery in his heart and mind...
