What do you do when your spouse sleeps with others and doesnt take precautions about getting pregnant and try to justify it?

Get tested for STD's and wear protection yourself from what she brings home.

Hi Bog,

Decide if you want to stay M.

If you want to stay M:
* Find a good pro-M MC.
* Learn all that you can on how to rebuild your M.
- Recognize & grieve your losses
- Recognize your pain & anger
- Lern how to let go of your pain & anger
* Learn the "message" of the WS affair.
* Set up ways to prevent your S from straying.

If you decide not to stay in the M, then get a D and stop punishing your W.

Your pain and anger are evident in your posts and I can understand your feelings... but I don't understand why you seem to enjoy constantly bashing your W and other WS here on the boards...

I do hope that you can somehow learn to move past your pain and hurt...

Semper Fi,

Bog-

Rebuilding in Faith has some very good advice for you to consider. It Sounds like you need to find a way to process your feelings as your pain and anger are evident. Where are you at in the process? Have either of you gone to counseling? Is your WW willing to work on the M? Are you?

No, we have not had any counseling. Im ok 90% of the time, but i have a huge uncontrolable temper. I can even joke about her OM somtimes, the OM is unbelievable goofy looking and built like a string bean and extreemly lame physicaly.

I can go 2-3 days without having a blowup. Im starting to accept everything better. I used to think about going out and cheating on her but not anymore much. Im not physical mean to her, but was slightly, i can hurt her very easily so i refrain from being physical. I get mad at myself when im mean to her and its not fun.

I bash WS's because I hate them more then anything. Ive been raised way to different to understand or accept spouses cheating. Ive been raised that bad deeds get repaid by punishment. I am not very forgiving. It's a very new concept to adjust to but im learning/trying <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

When i found out about her affair she never saw the OM again, OM never knew she was married. She came home and wants to stay married and she cant believe she could do such a thing. We have fun all the time, but somtimes i look at her and i see a stranger almost like an alien monster and i want to smash it, choke it, rip it to pieces, its very weird and i sound like a freek but im not. Im the guy next door or the guy sitting with his wife eating next to you laughing with his wife in a nightclub or wherever, im the guy who takes his daughter to the zoo, movies, jumps around singing and dancing like a fool at home, friends and family always look to me for help and advice etc.

I do have it easier then many here and i know that. My wife knows what she has done wrong and crys every day and wishes she never went to go see the OM. We are very close and go everywhere toghether and always have, its like a living nightmare, i cant seem to wake up or sleep.

Hi Bog,

I know that you are hurting... I've been there more times than I care to remember.

Get a copy of Torn Asunder and see if your W would be willing to read it with you... I think that if you do, you will be able to make sense of some of the feelings that you are going through.... I bought a copy of SAA but in MHO, it let the WS off way too "easy" and didn't really address all of the pain and anger that I just couldn't get rid of.

I would also strongly recommend finding a good MC.

Hang in there... anger and rage are "normal" reactions... but you need to control them if you truly want to rebuild your M.

Semper Fi,
RIF90
