I don't know what the deal is. However, OM was not an old boyfriend. My parents are both living and I don't have a sister in CA.

But that was long ago. My EA was in February 2006, over in March 2006, and exposed. My EP's are in place. It's a non-issue.

The advice for this thread was to gather intel, and I have the items in place for that. So far nothing weird on keylogger, nothing untoward on var hidden in car. I'll keep watching.

HowToHeal,

So I'll discount everything you posted before these recent postings as unreliable.

Was there ever a downside for OM in all of this did your BH ever go after him or expose OM to OMs family, church or workplace. Did your BH ever speak with OM to confirm your story.?

God Bless

Sadly, this poster has never taken MB advice to remove herself from this abuse.
Why not, HTH?

Oh my gosh, Gamma, give me a break! It was ages ago!!! I got excellent advice from Mortarman, medc, Chrisner (rest his soul), Pepperband, and many others.

I don't know if he talked to OM, he did have all the contact info. OM lived thousands of miles away. I didn't know anything about OM's family, it was a 6 week EA with someone I didn't know!!!!

Prisca- "this abuse" has stopped. Completely. That's why.

It sounds like it hasn't if he spent nine years continuing to bring it up and make you pay for it:

Here's what Dr. Harley has to say about this sort of situation:

I suggest that she look him right in the eye and say to him, "Listen Buster, do you love me? Do you want me to love you? Do you want to spend the rest of your life with me? If the answers to any of those questions is 'yes' you sure are going about it the wrong way. You are not doing things that I admire, you're doing things that I find disgusting!"

Be sure and check out the rest of that article.

Markos, I did say that to him, almost verbatim (I've been on MB since 2006).

I probably exaggerated because I was mad about his possible affair. It has been more than a year that he has brought anything up about my EA, or made me pay for it.

You know what, Prisca? It's as recovered as a non-MB participating DH is going to make it. There's nothing I can do about that short of divorcing him, which I'm not going to do. I try to implement things without him knowing they're MB concepts.

Life has a way of making the hard decisions for us when we refuse to do it.

Good luck.

Howtoheal, sorry to bump an old thread. I have seen you online a couple of times, but you didn't post recently. How are you doing and do you need help? I read your history and am worried about your well being.
