Dear Coleen: "My husband's gone cold and acts like I never existed"
"Does he not understand how all of this makes me feel? What makes someone so cruel?" My husband of 15 years walked out a few weeks ago and he's already shacked up with a woman he 'recently met', which I'm not buying. I'm pretty sure they'd been having an affair for some time. My life has been turned upside down as we have two children together, but the worst bit is he's being openly hurtful and extremely cold towards me, which seems unnecessary. He's got what he wanted and the divorce is going ahead so why is he twisting the knife? He talks to our children about his new relationship and says things like, 'I've never been this happy' and 'she's fantastic, you're going to love her', as if I don't even exist. He's also bragged to me about how stylish this woman is, how everyone loves her and that she's the kindest person he's ever met – and is a brilliant cook, too. Does he not understand how all of this makes me feel? What makes someone so cruel? It's a side of him I haven't really seen before, so it's quite shocking and confusing and I really don't know how to deal with it. Any ideas on how I can keep my cool? Coleen says The way he's behaving sounds as if guilt might be at the root of it and he's trying to convince himself and everyone else that he's done the right thing. He's also not allowing any space for how it's impacted you and the children. He's glossing over the trauma and disassociating himself from the hurt that he's caused by being very hard and cold. I agree, this is very triggering, but what I think you should do is keep calm in the face of these comments. Don't take the bait and don't lose your rag. Try to be as matter of fact as you can by saying something like: 'Well, it's worked out for everyone then, hasn't it?' And if he brags about what he's been doing, then come back with stuff that you've been doing (even if you have to make it up or exaggerate!). Just don't let him see he's pushing your buttons and that you're upset. Don't follow his narrative. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

And try not to have contact with him unless it's about the kids. For everything else, refer him to your solicitors. I do think that you have to be careful about how he's talking to your children and, if you can, have an agreement that you won't badmouth each other in front of them. He's showing you who he is with this behaviour and, hopefully, it's making you realise that you're better off without him. You can rebuild your life and be happy again. Good luck.

Southend Airport crash plane 'corkscrewed upside down into the floor'
Ben Guppy was watching planes with his 15-month-old daughter. The plane which crashed at Southend Airport yesterday 'corkscrewed' into the ground as tragedy struck moments after takeoff, a witness has said. Dad Ben Guppy was at the airport to plane spot with his 15-month-old daughter. And he has recalled the horrifying moment he witnessed the jet plunge to the ground. The 34-year-old was watching the planes taking off and landing at the Essex airport - but what should have been a fun day out ended in disaster when they witnesses a horror plane crash. The family from Benfleet, Essex, were plane spotting from the bar and restaurant on the fifth floor of a nearby Holiday Inn when the tragic crash unfolded before their eyes. Mr Guppy, a wholesale director, described how the crowd in the bar began screaming as they realised what had happened. He said: "I just looked around like 'Am I dreaming?'. According to MailOnline, he said: "I turned to my wife Jess, who had her hands over her face. She was pretty much in tears. She's still pretty upset about it all." He said he saw the plane reach 'probably 50 metres off the runway' before the plane began tilting left. He said: " My daughter was pointing at it and then it listed to the left. The left wing came down, the ring wing came up, I thought "He's keen to go left as soon as he takes off The Mirror reports Essex County Fire and Rescue Service said: "We were called to an incident involving a light aircraft at Southend Airport today at 3.58pm. " Crews from Southend (two), Rayleigh Weir and Basildon (two), along with off road vehicles from Billericay and Chelmsford attended. We are continuing to work at the scene with our emergency services and aviation partners." Essex Police said: "We remain on the scene of a serious incident at Southend Airport. We were alerted shortly before 4pm to reports of a collision involving one 12-metre plane. "We are working with all emergency services at the scene now and that work will be ongoing for several hours. We would please ask the public to avoid this area where possible while this work continues." The police statement adds: "As a precaution due to their proximity to the incident, we are evacuating the Rochford Hundred Golf Club and Westcliff Rugby Club."
