Boo - I just have to say that this comment is disturbing:

I don't think there is any serious relationships going on, just some outside recreation.


"Outside recereation", when you are married, is not OK! So often times, as the BS, we put up with so much crap over the years that we reach a point where we are tolerating stuff we should not tolerate. It is not ok for a married man to go out and screw other Women - I don't care how much marital trouble he was having. This was disrespectful to you.
Boo - he could be bringing home all sorts of diseases! He is not looking out for your health, or safety, or well being.
I wish I could give you a hug. I have a feeling you are putting up with way too much crap from him.
it is ok to stand up for yourself. It is ok to demand respect.

Thanks WOF! I didn't mean it to sound like I was okay with outside recreation. I'm not and will not stand for that. Just that if there isn't any emotional attachments it should be easier to move forward in rebuilding our relationship. I believe he was unhappy and wanted out of our marriage. But now wants to stay together. We have several issues to resolve and the honesty issue is the biggest. I can deal with the rest. And you are right. I did put up with way too much crap for 21 years. And now when I finally put it on the line that he needs to treat me better I find the missing pills. In fact the very next day, if that means anything.
