Stepmom/Wife feeling very worthless right now.....

I haven't posted in a while....it just feels like it's one thing after another. Like my husband doesn't know how to be in a marriage!! BM doesn't want me involved with HER kids at all, even removed me from their emergency contact list at school. (Which doesn't bother me because it'll be her problem if she needs someone to get them for her) What does bother me is DH actions make me feel like he is backing BM on that. I am never kept up to date about SKs lives, sports, school....nothing. I'm completely left in the dark on everything about his kids. It's made me distant and he had the nerve to throw in my face that I'M alienating SD from me....no, I'm not doing that, I'm doing exactly what he and BM want and that's not engage with their children. Another thing is almost 2 months ago DH told BM to stop contacting him and that the kids are old enough to make the visit arrangements etc....because she has caused so much hell and threatened us so much. He told me the other day he hasn't heard a peep from BM, well I guess he thinks I'm a dumbass because I see the cell phone bill, she's messaging him and he's replying back. I checked his phone while he was in the shower and took pictures of the texts and I'm waiting for him to comment on this again before I say anything. He's always lying to me....ALL THE FREAKING TIME. I'm so sick of it. Counseling did NOTHING....at all. I feel like with all the turmoil we have been through in the last 3 years that this is it...this is all I'm worth...a marriage with a lying, deceiving bullshitter.

then leave Hon, why are you staying if you are not happy, if you know nothing changed after therapy and he's still not telling you the truth.... do you think it's worth it to stay?

I'm working up to that. We have a baby together and lots of bills. Bills I couldn't afford on my own....I have tried to so hard to get things fixed and I'm beginning to see there is no fixing it, at least not alone. I'm trying to get the courage to make him leave. I worked so hard for everything I had before I met him and I'm terrified I will lose it all while struggling with TWO children this time..

HOn, look at your bills, and you will see, once you have this slug out of your life the bills will be gone as well.
You are paying for him.....

As long as you have a small roof over your head, and bread and water on your table, it will still be worth the peace and quiet you will gain and not a struggel at all...

You can always nail his ass for CS you know

I'm so sorry dear. Lying would not be acceptable and the way you are treated is not acceptable. If you have gone to therapy maybe you can try another therapist to come up with a plan to make the situation better. Or if you choose to leave maybe u can get therapy alone to see how you can take steps to leave and support yourself etc. I'm so sorry this is happening to you. Hang in there ;)))

My husband will lie to me in a minute for only two things: to keep me from getting angry and to protect them, which results in my getting angry. I have caught him in many lies and told him he was a liar. He refuses to go to therapy because he knows he is a liar; it certainly does break down trust, and I am not certain I will ever fully trust him again. He is not into other women, other than his adult SD's who believe they are all his wives, because he has allowed it. In fact, he and the SD's are all liars, big time; it is sad.

I doubt he will ever stop lying to me, but I do verify anything he tells me before believing it (about them), and call him out when I catch him in a lie now. He hates that....it has helped, I have not been able to catch him lying lately, but you can bet I will be fact checking him...lol.

We never mention the kids he claims. They are strangers to me too, and you are right, if I know nothing there is no reason to lie to me....it has improved significantly since I totally disengaged.
