    Yes, I left this forum for 4 or 5 months and things seemed okayish for you and now I'm just reading through it now and it seems like so much has changed. Sorry, this is happening to you.

    My relationship of 23 years is ending trough text and email . I had to tell my boys last night . My boys were with me when I found the receipt for the laptop . I tried to hide my pain , my trigger . My oldest had to drive us to the summer rental . I told them what they needed to know .

    I know it was painful and hard, but you did the right thing. This will also help your sons to learn and grow. How are you doing?

    TBH I’m a broken woman . His texts now are like I just stumbled on him watching porn for the first time. He is not understanding why this would end us . Not even close

    He is in deep, deep denial. You have handled all of this with grace and maturity. Sending love.

    I can't begin to imagine the pain and misery you must be going through right now. But I'm glad that you told your boys about it, and I'm sure one day, maybe soon, maybe not for a long time, but one day, I think those boys will probably confront their father and demand he answer for why he was so cold to his wife, their mother. And my guess is that they will refuse to let him off the hook with a simple, "Its complicated" or "You don't know what happened between us" or "Don't worry about it"..... I think they'll probably even thank him for giving them the perfect example of how to NEVER treat a woman or kids.

    I’m trying to be the mature one . But his last text wtf . Like all the work and tools went out the window. I’d like to say I don’t know this person , but I’ve met him many times before . Like delusional. I’m literally shaking my damned head . I’m done responding. He’s just a fucking idiot at this point . Saying we can’t afford him to leave in the previous text . I’ll pick this text apart .

    I lie about a laptop. That is your "betrayal".
    ( UM NO MY BETRAYAL IS 15 years of lying , hiding , escalated to looking up escorts)

    Couples cheat on each other and have feelings towards other people and work thru it. You won't allow me to have any dopamine fix on a quick and meaningless video clip. My only dopamine allowed is with you . I was sober for months and I felt I lost my sex drive.
    ( MONTHS ? Im confused DDAY was 12:16’ ) HIS SEX DRIVE WAS NOT REALITY BASED , HIS SEX DRIVE FOR HIMSELF )

    I'm sorry but that is the truth. If I didn't want to have sex with you at least once a week, even though you wanted twice, you would withdraw and have all these insecure thoughts and feelings. ( I INITIATED EVERYTHING,NOT INSECURE AT ALL , I WEAR COSTUMES FOR FUCKS SAKE , I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT CHANGED )

    I can give it up, I did for months, but it changed my thoughts/feelings towards any kind of sex/intimacy with you. I lose either way. ( I DONT UNDERSTAND THIS PART AT ALL )
    I am sorry. I do love you. I hate that this is where we are at. We don't see this the same at all. From what I see out there talking to other married men, I am pretty good. I am faithful to you, respect women and love you.
    ( LIKE WTF .TOTAL SPIN MOVE RIGHT THERE , GIVING ME NOTHING TO WORK WITH )

    I'm so sorry for all you are going through. You are strong woman, even when you feel your weakest.

  12. To me, the above translates to, "Gosh, why do you have to be such a hater of my selfish, destructive addiction"?:confused:

    Oh, holy shitballs, he's completely consumed by the addiction right now. Everything he said is addict thinking...from minimizing to rationalizing to blame-throwing to denial. I'm so sorry you're going through this. Trying to make sense of any of his nonsense will just make you feel crazier. I think you're doing the best you can in this situation by backing away to spare yourself further damage. He has fallen off the wagon and off a cliff, it seems. You've done everything you could to try to help him, but unfortunately, it's all for naught until he actually wants to get better. :( Stay strong. Hugs.

    I agree with above...you are strong, capable and have been supportive. The mind games and distortion of truth,is as bad as the lying.
    You didn’t cause this, you can’t cure it, and you can’t change it...only he can.
    Tough choices and tough decisions, but from what’s been written, I think you really need to put yourself first.
    Prayers to you

    I am strong . I’m just completely at a loss . Yes in time I’ll be fine . But this is not what I WANTED . For my family to split up . But I know with his texts and his behavior he’s giving me no choices.

    I think I needed someone in the same position to read it and tell me I’m not crazy . His gaslighting is starting to make me feel like I made a mountain out of a mole hill . But then I remind myself he just bought ANOTHER laptop a week ago

    You could suggest to him that perhaps he could divert some money from the Hidden Laptop Fund? Just for a while.

    I think you are handling this beautifully, by the way. Healthy venting, not denying your own feelings of love for him, NOT caving in... I see you as a Super Woman, shielding yourself as he throws every addiction strategy in the book at you. Congrats especially for not falling for the gaslighting. How wonderful that you have the opportunity for some quality time with your boys right now. Don't be surprised if they step up and want to do some taking care of you.

    The Laptop fund is OUR joint checking
    My boys are my life . ♥️♥️ They’ve been helping out a lot
    I spoke with Hannah at Bloom today she had me read this part over and over again out loud . To fully absorb what he is saying. He is basically saying none of the other stuff happened. That now that he’s not “ an addict in quantity “ he can watch it all the while lying and hiding . No harm no foul


    I lie about a laptop . That is your “betrayal “


    Dummy . If I’m super woman he’s super dummy addict

    My youngest (17) is threatening to text him . He wants to text him to WAKE UP YOU ARE ABOUT TO LOSE EVERYTHING. I asked him for ME , please don’t . Go fish go have fun . I knew this was going to happen . He’s literally ME . That’s without me telling him anything other than the other night . He just keeps saying he should BE here . He just keeps saying he wants to text him to TRY .
    I wish I told them NOTHING . I don’t want them to worry or be anxious. But then it would be more blindsiding .

    Sorry - I was being a smart ass. Something I toned down (at the request of my SA) after Dday#2, but that is now, I'm happy to report, back with a vengeance.

    Keep hanging in there. :emoji_heart:
