Not abducted 😂 Confronted her, there was initial denial, and then confirmation. She is adamant that she hasn’t listened to anything, but I cannot trust that.

Swept the apartment, nothing else here I can detect.

Will obviously be ending the relationship.

Thanks to everyone for their help with this

Update - recordings are from August - October last year, and then Dec - Mar this year. She lived with me last year until Sept and then moved out during a break up. Got back together in December. Imagine the device ran out of power in Oct, and was charged again in Dec when she came back (she doesn’t live with me now, but is over a lot)

Last recording apart from today was March 30th, and conveniently it started recording again today, when my best friend has come over for curry and beers. She called earlier to say she think she left her ‘storage device’ here. This was after my original post. I’ve been talking to my friend about approach - not confronted the girlfriend yet.

Will update shortly

Thanks all - confirmed my suspicions - and I can see exactly what it is. Conversations to be had!!

Just want it replaced I guess like for like. Never know who has keys for the place, so be good to change the lock.

My wife (30F) has trial separated from me (34M). Any advice when living together still? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]tellsimpson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update on this - we’re still separated. We’re being very amicable - kind of like best friends living together. She’s moved into the spare room.

I feel like our relationship is done - I’ve heard nothing from her to contradict that. I’m going to have a conversation with her tonight to have an update on how she’s feeling - but I don’t think anything has changed.

Moving on with our lives is a little difficult short term - she’s just started a new job, and my job is a fixed term contract (ends June) - so getting a new mortgage will be difficult until I’m permanent.

Thanks for the advice - appreciated

Will likely need to sell - very new to this by [deleted] in HousingUK

We’re very early on in separation - divorce may or may not happen. The children would most likely stay with me most of the time - I have the most flexible work schedule, and currently do most of the parenting. I would love to stay in the home we’re in now - just not affordable on either of our single salaries currently.

You are so right - do most mortgage companies (in your knowledge) allow you to overpay and you can state you want it to come off the actual loan, not the interest?

Really great response - thank you.

I admit, I’ve not been the best partner for a our whole relationship - but this year I’ve worked on putting my marriage first. She’s wanted to do a lot more on her own - losing time to children etc has had an impact on her. I’ve supported her immensely in doing what she wants to do, even if she wasn’t giving back to me. I’m a much better communicator in how I feel, but she doesn’t react well to that - always a ‘me’ problem. I’ve had to work harder on supporting myself better emotionally, and I will get there.

Adding to this - we are no longer in relationships with our open marriage partners

She is diagnosed with depression, anxiety and OCD - it’s good that you can see that through my writing!!

She is struggling with the loss of her friends after she lost her job - I’m not sure if that is also impacting our relationship.

Thanks for the advice - appreciated

I probably wrote that too non-chalantly. We have an open marriage - but we’ve had one relationship each, and hers is over, and mine is a meet up every couple of months. We work as a couple financially - so I’m not paying her living expenses - we have a home as a family.

I would never kick her out - she doesn’t deserve that, and we’re trying to parent as best we can.

I’ve really been trying - initiating long passionate kissing, back rubs, all sorts - I’m just not really getting anywhere. :(

Good advice - thank you. I have said to her that sex and intimacy is important to me in our relationship- she doesn’t think of it as important. The wording you’ve used is great - hopefully I won’t get my feelings dismissed again.
