I posted recently about my SO traveling to Florida to visit his brother and leaving me and our 4 month old at home. He said he was going to visit, and then ride back to Kansas with his brother. His rationale was that we were going to have his brother tear out our basement for renovations and that we would buy his brother’s truck from him. Originally, I was upset because raising a baby is hard and I didn’t want him to just go on a trip without us. But he promised it was to help get the house finished and wasn’t a “vacation”. Then, he asked if he could go boar hunting and stay a few extra days. At first I didn’t want to say yes, but he said I was being controlling. So I agreed. He promised he would return 08/03, so he would be gone a week. I made him promise me because his brother is super shady and flakey.

Everyone told me it was wrong to be paranoid and upset. Well, you were all WRONG.

It’s been a rough week. Our daughter has been sick and I have a list a mile long of things to accomplish. My SO forgot his phone, and has only been using his brother’s phone to communicate, and hasn’t been calling daily. I assumed with him being out boar hunting, there might not be service.

Long story short...he is in freaking AMSTERDAM. He was never in flipping Florida. It has all been a lie. His mom was in on it too. Saying he had been staying with her in Florida and what not. It was all lies. He texted me today and said the truck had broken down and he would keep me updated. This too was a lie. Because it turns out, although he promised he would be home Sunday...he really returns Tuesday.

When we spoke, he said he felt like he couldn’t be honest with me. He said I am restricting him. I tried to explain that life with a baby is just restricting, but it isn’t forever. He said, “I didn’t do anything terrible, I just took a trip I shouldn’t have taken.” I explained how he was minimizing the situation. He lied and spent thousands of dollars! He swears up and down he didn’t cheat on me or do any drugs.

I am giving the short version here, but you get the picture. I am so devastated. 😩😭
