well that seems to be working so far then, I know what it's like to want things to be better with a very quickened pace.......I am a now girl myself......
but healing is done one day at a time and making a new history day by day....
I know you are going to doubt everything, but don't look at it in any other way then what is happening in the moment.....enjoy it, don't miss out on the good that is happening by worrying about what is going to happen or what has happened.......
try to understand that loving each other is what the goal is and that you are a big girl, and that you are willing to take a chance at a happier marriage, you are doing this for you, a conscious decision for you. We all know we give our best for ourselves...............
stick to it, and enjoy it

It's not that Spending Time with Friends Is Evil. What it does is take away from the far more important time you need to be spending with each other. While you are with friends, no love deposits are being made.
Right now, in crisis mode, you can't afford to waste any opportunities to make $LB deposits.
Later, though you may OCCASIONALLY spend time with friends, it should never take away from the time you two need to spend together. IMO, it would be much better and healthier for all couples involved, if once in a while you had a get-together for all, rather than "girls night" and "boys night". Play games, have a potluck dinner, whatever.
Splitting up for pleasure or recreation is not a good idea.

Im trying. It hard. But I'm trying.
Is it wrong for me to want all of these things from him? To expect so much? I want him doing all of these things for me...because (I won't say this out loud) but he really [censored] this up and I think I deserve it to be made up to me. This scores big points for him to...this kind of stuff fills my en. And in exchange I know sex fills his. And he got plenty Saturday. I imagine you might call it making up for his mistakes or a form of "just compensation", Still need to adress all the ENs though, and understand thier importance in the big picture

I'm glad that she isn't pregnant, we all knew it was just a ploy, my husband's Ow claimed she was killing herself one night, and one of her friends had to call my husband so he could do something about it, or so she thought.....pathetic isn't it....they will do whatever low life stuff they have to.

It's sad, and he may not even be in his right mind, depending on where the cancer is.
Still, your first and only loyalty needs to be to your family. Report him asap, and do not take any more calls from him.

Very many people with cancer in the end stage have cancer in their brain too. It's extremely common.

I got the last 10 minutes recorded. File a police report about this. I suspect he's just spouting off in anger (or he would do something without warning anyone first about it) but the police will contact him. That should back him off on the threatening phone calls.

I would block his phone number so he can't call again and definitely file a police report on him. I'm glad she's not pg, didn't think she was. Also, glad your mother took it okay, take her up on the post-nuptial. It's good to have him committed to you in writing, shows he means it.

I'm so angry today. He didn't get out of bed to help me w the kids. Still in bed when I left for work and to take the kids to school and nanny.
He says he had bad milk last night. Left his cereal bowl on the couch.
I'm so mad. He's home all day. Why hasn't he applied for more jobs? Why isnt the floor mopped? Dogs cleaned? Laundry done? Diapers emptied? Fridge cleaned? Beds made? Why didn't he find us Halloween costumes like I asked? Fix my watch for marathon training?
Wtf. Why am I doing everything? Why hasn't he found a marriage counselor?
I feel like he should be bending over backwards to make my life easier. He should be graveling!
I'm so mad and upset today. I dreamt all night of him creating secret emails to email her.
Yesterday was such a rough day. I work a damn 15 hour day today. I don't have time for this.

I guess I'm just going to tell him all that. I feel like my niceness is being taken advantage of and like he isn't doing enough. It's not enough.
Wy hasn't he found a counselor for us? Or a attorney for the post nup?

The angrier you are, the more care you need to take that you aren't disrespectful.
Pretend that you were the one who didn't do a bunch of things he expected, and speak to him the way you would want him to speak to you, if the situations were reversed.
IMO yes, he should be doing more, but on the other hand don't expect perfection.
