LM, please, this is for Jen to figure out.

As for wanting excitement... well what about us? we are here reading this, after all.

Yes, we are.....BUT we DON'T have injured devestated spouses who have just been given earth shattering information that their world is AGAIN shattered by their trusted spouse.

Can you tell the difference.

Jen is more than intelligent to know what needs to be done here. Not one of us needs to tell her what she needs to do. This message board is the last place she should be at this exact moment in her life.

THE ENABLING SHOULD STOP HERE !!!!

Mel, you done good...even for a country bumpkin, BBQ eating...Texan <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

How big a boy are ya?

I think a law school "tax" geek (I am NOT a shark) can take a med school geek anyday. Besides I did a little golden gloves back in the day.

If we both leave right now and drive 70 mph, we can meet at say University of Denver by monday night. Then after 30 hours straight driving and a box of no-doz we outta have quite the little squable. Besides if you break my big greek nose I'll make you fix it (then I'll get a legal buddy to sue you for malpractice...MrsW's idea, but I know doctors find no humor in the word "malpractice".)

KiwiJ,

Don't tell me what you were needing or craving. Tell Rob. He is the only one that counts. I am nothing to you and my opinion matters only to me. I truly do wish you both the very best and that you will both find happiness through this - one way or the other. You can trust that. Good luck.

"And it would have been completely stupid to forewarn Jen because she could have told him anything. It doesn't matter from WHOM the truth comes, just as long as the victim is made aware. "


Reminder, the information is ALL over the boards, so what's she going to make up? She was quoted widely so even if she choose to delete her own posts, Rob could have put two and two together... it would have been made much more sense to have given Jen the option to tell HER OWN husband within a set timeframe. Common courtesy, common sense. KB

For Lem & The Dubya's

(I'm having a very unLA moment...)

Fight! Fight!

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Only 'cuz then I could meet MrsW...if you met at DU.

It could be a stand up face off, even...instead of a brawl.

KB, I don't think I'd ever had the guts.

Rob is sitting behind me on the couch right now and I'm relaying everything back to him including the fact that some people think I'm enjoying the drama. I can't believe anyone could even think that.

In an hour we both have to pretend that everything is just fine when my SIL and BIL and mother come for dinner. We are just not prepared to share anything with anyone right now.

KB, REMINDER: Jen was was given the option to tell him and wouldn't do it. AS YOU CAN SEE. It matters not from whom the truth came, just that he GOT the truth. COMMON SENSE.

Kiwi - I'm sure you are not enjoying this. I think you need to get some counseling. Your children have left and that is a heavy burden for us moms. You need to learn how to get a satisfying life with your husband.

Actually, B, my son who is 28 hasn't left which is part of the problem.

You're right B, I am NOT enjoying this it is horrible.

Anyway, I AM going now.

Mel, he said you sounded very smart and had a lovely Texan twang.

Jen, I will admit that I was one of the people that believed this. I came to that conclusion because I saw you on this site joking around with other MB'ers all the while you were betraying Rob. When mothers day rolled around and you talked about having a nice day... I was incredulous. It sounded as though you were not upset about this at all.... perhaps that was wrong to assume but to some, me included it came across that way. Hearing about your drinking and having you admit that you might never have found the courage to tell him makes me believe now that this was just your way of de-stressing.
From a BS that used his 2 x 4's with abandon... I think Rob will do well in forgiving you and staying with you if you resolve all of the feelings that you have for this OP. Prayers to both of you.
