Hi all,
I have been gone a long time. Found out a day before my 5th wedding anniversary that my husband has been having an affair for 3 years with a woman he met over the internet from another state. He said he got mad at me one night and did the one thing that he knew that would make me mad and that was to go to an adult chat room. He doesnt even remember what it was that made him mad. Needless to say, he struck up some conversations that let to flirting which led to him going up north to the same city where she was for a job interview and they consumated the affair there. Since then he has been going "fishing" 1 weekend a year and has been meeting her. I found all kinds of porno pictures of herlself she had been sending him over the 3 years. Needless to say I was shattered.
As soon as my husband confessed his migraines that had been plaguing him left. We have been going to christian counseling every Monday since end of March, trying to save our marriage and he has taken everything thrown at him.
If it was just me I would consider leaving, but we have the 2 boys 14 and 12 and the thought of me in an apt, having to get rid of the boys' dogs and the thought of putting them thru emotional turmoil and the fact that my husband is totally ashamed and remorseful is keeping us in counceling. We have changed our phone #s and he has cut her off immediately and completely.
Also, If that wasnt enough, my mother in law, who has been married and div 4 times has move in with us permanently. She has all kinds of problems. She suffered a mild stroke, but can still get around. She is bi-polar 1 and has irritable bowel symdrome. She is only 61 so doesnt qualify for medicare yet and she has no money and no where to live. She also cant take care of herself.
I could go on and on about the may sorted details but I just want to say I need to get back on the bandwagon. I have gained some weight back but still have managed to keep 10 lbs off .
