I have been together with my husband for 7 years and married for 3 years. Both of us are in our mid-30s and he has been working from home daily.
Right after the borders opened, he started to travel a lot (like 3-4 times a month) claiming that his company had sent him overseas for work.
90% of the time the destination is Thailand.
So he started getting cold to me after he had gone to these trips, he doesn’t answer his phones and often takes forever to reply to me.
He always says that he is in a meeting or he is tired claiming that he went straight to bed after work.
This goes on and on for around 4 months.
Until 2 weeks ago, he went off for his business trip but this time he was entirely uncontactable. I only know that his plane ticket is bound for Chiang Mai and I have no other details.
For 7 days he was uncontactable and I almost gave up. I tried to ask his friends but they had no idea what happened to him, so I stalked his Facebook account and messaged one of his best friends and call him.
Initially, the best friend said he don’t know what happened but I could tell from his voice that he was lying.
He later revealed to me that my husband had met someone else in Chiang Mai and most probably will not come back.
I told him to come over to my home to talk about it. He initially said no, But I managed to force him to come over.
So when he came over, I told him to tell the truth about my husband. I told him to look my kids in the eye and think twice before answering any fake excuses or cover-ups.
He eventually showed me some photos my husband had sent him, it was a girl who looks like in her early 20s and he revealed that my husband met her during his 1st work trip.
I asked if he know where exactly my husband is staying at but he said that he has no idea. I was thinking to fly over and confront him but he has entirely gone MIA.
Now I am in a situation where I do not know what to do. My husband can work entirely online and since he is not coming back the divorce procedure is going to be a problem since it involves the HDB.
Obviously, I will need the HDB for my kids. We both paid 50/50 for it.
I contacted my lawyer and the lawyer said that this kind of case is not as rare as one might think, it happens to both males and females.
Before I take action I am thinking if there is a chance my husband will come back. I don’t want my kids to grow up without a father.
What should I do?
