Okay, this is driving me insane, what I am calling the yo-yo effect.
Background-- about 2 years ago (well, okay, off and on in 12 years of marriage, but more seriously in the past 2 years) hubby has talked about me getting a bf. Or a fuck buddy seems to be a better term for how it feels right now. I finally changed my mono way of thinking (well, not completely mono, but since I was married, I figured mono). He encouraged it. He texted about it, sent me links, pictures of threesomes, etc. So I said, "Okay, I'm fine with this, but has to be someone I can care about. I'm not good with no strings attached." If I remember correctly, HE set up this account, even though I'm the only one that talks.
Now, after one failed relationship (due to the guy just being embarrassed after 6 months, not wanting the relationship known to anyone any of us knew), I started dating again.. Trying to find one that, well, I could love, honestly. I have met with a few, but only spent much time with one. And it turns out we make good friends, but that's it. lol
Now the hubby is going back and forth with it's okay, it's not okay, it's okay, it's not okay, every freaking week. The last time was this weekend. Friday he told me to go meet with this other guy. So I did. Guy's really cool. Nice to hang out with. Could possibly be someone I could have more with.
(Although I am talking to one I haven't met yet. It's a toss-up. lol)
So I met said guy. We hung out for a few hours. I came home at 2 am and went to bed. Got up Saturday (630 am) fixed hubby's coffee, like I do every day he goes to work. He hugs me, says love you, bye, and off he goes. During the next 2 hours, he texts nice messages. I call him and he proceeds to be a jerk, starts saying, "How do I know you won't just walk out?" And the whole bs about him no longer giving me what I need. This continues for awhile and I finally just say I'm done, ready to walk out the door.
This happens almost weekly. I go out, hope he's a nice guy. Hubby gets pissed because he doesn't understand why I'm doing this. That he's not enough.
I didn't talk to him hardly at all after this.
Sunday night we had another blow up, where I told him this same stuff. Last night was the first time in awhile that we even had sex. Not saying I wanted to with him after all the crap of these past couple months.
Honestly, I'm ready to walk out on 12 years of marriage because of this crap. I'm at a loss what to do. I feel like I'm on a roller coaster with him. I'm worn out.
Some of the insensitive crap he does dates back to day one of our marriage. I have been a SAHM more than I have worked in all these years. And he takes a lot for granted, unless reminded. Then it's all good for awhile.
I even told him to go find himself a gf. lol. He says he doesn't want one.
I'm just tired and worn out and dunno which way is up.
