How are you this afternoon?

Did you get that restraining order? It's a good idea if you SAVE ALL of those threatening texts.

FYI

Years ago an MB poster, Cherished, was day 12 post surgery when her WH exploded with anger because she (Cherished) had threatened to confront the OW.
Yes. While Cherished was recovering from surgery, her WH got so angry that he broke her arm!
Yes, you read this right.

Cherished "forgave" him.
They remained married.
She remained under his thumb.
There was nothing at all MB-ish about their marriage.

Her name, Cherished, had nothing to do with her marriage, but her faith.
Her story is useful as a cautionary tale.

Please, do not become another "Cherished cautionary tale" of the MB forums.

It sounds not so bad except that I started calling her and needed surgery in early December and was five days in the hospital and then twelve days after the surgery we got in a fight when I threatened to call her. I don't want to say exactly what happened except that I have needed two surgeries since that fight. He is going to anger management classes now, we called together and told her that she had to be out of our marriage, and now my husband is trying to get past this mess and I am stuck, stuck, stuck. I arranged to have lunch with him today and don't know that I even want to see him. I have read the information on recovery and am not sure that it works well if neither is very committed. In fact, I think my husband is the more committed of the two of us.

He broke her arm, that's what happened.

Torn your first marriage was abusive was it not? I hope you can get out of this pattern. Can I just say on behalf of husbands everwhere who would never lay a hand on a woman in anger - this guy makes me sick.

This was your last post and, on the chance that you still get notices of replies here and see this, I hope things turned out good for you. Update if you get a chance.
