Trolls typically have some short, flashy story designed to get everybody all het up, argifying, and riled. They keep much concealed, and just feed out little bits here and there to keep the flames a-bilin'.

Sometimes a genuine newby comes along and sounds just like that. More often than not it's a troll, but once in a while it's for real.

Personally, I don't mind giving briefly of my time no matter which sort it is, and I don't rile easy. With the little educational comment about spermies, I pretty much used up the last of my good advice till (if/when) some genuinely new development takes place.

I'm purty good at NC letters...

> my marriage after infidelity

You don't save something by building upon a lie.


I never had to take the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?

O'hana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.

we were in their room because that`s where they have their computer, and they were showing me some of the designs they made, so she didn`t think anything about that. Her boss is her friend too they were discussiong some projects for this week, she was going to ask him to come to the house after for some more wine but he couldnt make it.

The damage is done...its like running someone over with your car and killing them...pretty soon the rotting body in the closet is gonna start smelling and EVERYONE will know...

Take the consequences NOW, not later...that is the only way to save your marriage.

Good analogy, SH.

Okay, but you can't wish it away. So, now what?

We understand this. But by keeping this secret, you are making choices for your husband and friend that are not yours to make. Once they find out about this, the resentment will grow bigger the longer you've kept the secret.

You ARE already making this worse by not saying anything.

To top it off, you are being VERY selfish and unsympathtic towards two people you CLAIM you care for. What about THEIR needs and wants? Do you not love them?

I do care about them thats why I dont want to hurt them, If my husband cheated and it was a one time thing I wouldnt want to know it would hurt me deeply and I dont htink i could trust him again.

I quit. At the very least, Lokil, you are morally bankrupt and devoid of conscience if you could continue your M and this friendship without coming clean.

Here, here. You've been given advice. Until you start to listen to some of it, there's really no point in continuing this discussion. Good luck to you.
