Mati,

Worried to death about you here. The only pieces of advice I have for you are to stock up on imaginary rocks and EXPOSE EXPOSE EXPOSE. You have nothing to lose by exposing this to OW's H. Whether you want the marriage to work or not, you need to do this. And he needs to know.

Will be lurking whenever possible to try to catch you on IM.

Do they publish suits in milk carton's?

He is waiting on thursday to see what the counselor has to say. He kept saying it was work, although there is no way for me to check that, first was office, try another one I was there, then it was another place, not luck you know the same old I can't confirm. Anyway, he tells me now the A is over, that this was work, that his real problem is that nothing satisfies him more than work, that the only pleasure in his life is work, besides the rest he is apathic, not feeling at all. So he has to wait to see what the counselor tells him to do regarding this one, his work hours, that of course is LBing me big time, cause I can not build over no time, or timetired if you know what I mean.

Thank you

I was not a good morning, as soon as I woke up, I wanted to end this and asked for D. After a long talk we tryed to plan A both until thursday.

Also, my SIL [H's sis] got her dday yesterday because of me, but that is another story. Over all, not a good day <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" /> .

I been in Plan A and plan B, matter of fact H came home after plan B, and when we contacted again plan A on my part. I think I would not do plan A anymore, this will lead to D, I think I waited enough on him.

Exposure can help or not, who knows, but H is playing me telling if I expose it would destroy the rest of the credibility he got at work, then he will suicide, that he got all planned... That maybe OW's H will beat the sh*t over OW, or put a bullet over him, whatever, I do not want to deal with the consecuences if I expose now. Have to listen to the counselor on that matter in our next visit if I got the time. I know he might be playing me, but maybe he is not, so that is a hold by now, when I feel the need to revenge, and it doesn't matter what I'll lose I will maybe?

Until now I have expresed my other reasons on why not to expose.

A samll thinking here...

Regardless on what the counselor have to say about this, well it didn't worked before, it ended in an A, and is not going to work for me anymore. Call it work, call it A. I want better now. If my H decides to go ahead and keep job and OW, well good luck to him, I know I can't stand here waiting and looking meanwhile he destroys me. I'm not saying it's better or worse, it's his choice, but mine is other, we just got different choices, and I need a different man by my side if God allows me that, in my H or anyone else.

He has told me he doesn't feel the thrill with me like in Jan or Feb, well how could he? he didn't ended the A, and he didn't fully commit. Those were his choices, and hard to rebuild over that. I only know that my choices would be to end this, regardless if he is still into the A or not, if he doesn't change. It's not working for me.

and finally ...

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Soooo... what did happen that suit?
</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">I told him that his actions didn't had consecuences, he told me they did, he messed up with his friends, family, got no home, and only got a job. Well apparently the job is all that mattered to him for him keep going, but well..., he was waiting on my revenge, and was worried I had changed so much and was even thinking of it...

I was thinking more on a thing that worked for me "punishing" him, yes call it anger, revenge whatever.

The truth is, that as much as I hate it, the way he behaves, I'm not cut like that. The suit was missing for 2 days, and before he read all my insanity here, this morning I hanged the suit again [no cuts], and told him look you can check it...

He hugged me, and that was the end of the story of the suit.

Hey mattie!

Thanks for checking in and letting us know how you're doing <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

A happy ending to the suit story! A hug of appreciation for you being your wonderful self!

As hurt and angry as you were, I still thought you would do things in your wonderful mattie way. You've made the changes you wanted to make in yourself and those are yours to keep regardless of what H is doing--or where his suit is.

Take care
