I have explained to him that because he met OW off a chatroom, its not an appropriate place for him to be right now, esp when he keeps hiding it from me ... and that talking to single women is NOT acceptable for a WS. If he wants to talk to people then he should talk to his friends at work or his family.
Do you really believe that you need to explain that to him? He is a grown man with I assume some intelligence. In no way, under no circumstance, should you believe that you need to make him see, make him understand, make him get it.
You sound like you are immersed in codependency, a behavior of trying to control the uncontrollable. He knows exactly what he is doing and the damage it caused and can cause. Please believe that and live accordingly.
You aren't alone in what you're going through. (HUG))
Married - since 20 yrs old
"Surviving is important....Thriving is elegant"
Anyone else here have a World of Warcraft issue in their lives?
Just wondering. I dont' use PM but you could respond here.
My story is all on my profile. Basically my WH had a ONS 5 years ago. About 1 1/2 years after that, he became overcome with guilt and shame and began trying to fulfill his vision of himself as a worthless scumbag. So he turned to Craigslist. He started perusing the personals, then he began emailing with people, then sending them pics of himself including dirty ones, asking for pics of the girls, IMing with them, and about 6 months after starting that he actually met two of the women and had ONS's with each of them.
He (for some odd reason) stopped have PA's at this point, but for the next 3 years he continued emailing and IMing people from CL. He also was calling them on the phone to get excited while driving to work. During the last year of his email situation, he contacted his x and began emailing her also. She is also married. Within days their emails turned sexual. We lived in a different state than her, so all their contact was email so I didn't see the long distance bill.
He and the x carried on for over a year emailing each other and IMing each other. He had a secret email acct that I knew nothing about, nor did I ever suspect anything. He was also contacting the CL skanks at the same time... and I call them that because they KNEW he was married (he was very honest with all of THEM, wasn't that nice?), and they were ALL willing to fool around with a married guy who made it clear that his W didn't know. Anyway.... after about 6 months of emailing the x, we moved to the same city she lives in. Then he began calling her, often! They met twice in secret to have lunch, fortunately they emailed each other about it too afterwards or I wouldn't believe that nothing happened. He even had her come to my house once, while I was home, and pretended he didn't know if it was her. We were selling something on CL, and he said "I think this guy that wants to buy this thing is my x's H". He KNEW the whole time that it was her H, and he invited the x, and her H, to our house to pick up this thing. The X's H is about 7 inches taller than my WH, and has a good 100 pounds on him too, could PUMMEL my WH to a million little pieces, and my idiot WH invited this man to our house. DUH!!!!
Anyway, I think the thing that hurts the worst about this is that I was literally sitting on the couch, 2 feet away from my WH, while he was having these nasty conversations with these OW. I just can't believe it! WH would yell at the kids for bothering him while he was on the PC, and I would defend him because he told me he was working on the PC, and he had a legitimate excuse to be doing so... yet he wasn't working, he was cheating. WH would sit with me, supposed to be watching a movie, and get on the laptop and tell his x that he was watching a movie with me, but it was ok, they could chat, so they would get an IM going and he would talk dirty to her while supposedly being with me! It makes my skin crawl, it really does. I think the whole internet thing actually hurts me more than the ONS's did.... those were short term, 3 days and they were done, but this... he has been doing this, and lying about it, and betraying me daily for over 4 years. I wanna scream!
I haven't posted here in almost a year since I mostly chat with a few people on here through PM. One year ago, I had my first dday and next month it'll be the a year since d-day 2.
After some counseling, he learned that he's a sex addict.
Anyway, my H hasn't cheated on me since the last dday but several times I cought him sending messages to women on Myspace and reponding to adult ads on Craigslist. I deleted his first Myspace profile and the last time he contacted a woman online was today and before that, on March 20th this year. I set conditions for him because I'm tired of putting up with his shenanigans.
When he slipped up last time, I wrote up a mock contract basically telling him I would leave ASAP the minute he cheated on me in any way, be it in person or on the internet.
He's addicted to porn and I can tolerate that as long as he admits that slip up within 24 hours because I don't expect him to not slip up once in a while.
Since he went a month without chatting with other women on here, I let him have a Myspace again and I even made it for him. Today I caught him telling a woman on Myspace that she's beautiful.
I saw her reply and she seemed clueless, she just said "Thank you, do I know you?" His profile is set to private so obviously she didn't know he's married.
Well, I said it was over and I was about to make the arrangements to pack my bags and the kids and leave. He stopped me and begged me to reconsider. Because of the fact that a complement was all that was said to this woman on Myspace and the fact that she didn't show much interest, I let it slide just this once.
My H regresses on his addictions the most when he's stressed and has nothing to do. Today he was off from work so that put some time on his hands.
He already allows me to monitor his online activities and he even encourages me to do that all the time to keep him in check. I even bought a keylogger to ensure that I won't be blindsighted.
I guess my question is, did I do the right thing by letting it slide?
Had he given that woman his cell phone number and/or asked to meet with her I would be packing my bags right now. I even told him that, and I also told him this would be the final warning.
He keeps telling me he needs my help to fight his addiction.
Just read my profile as well as my older posts on here if you want to know my story.
My WH knows that by his OWN actions, he has lost all privelidges to be on the computer for non essential things. Myspace, facebook, AFF, classmates.com, all those are NON essential sites to be on. If WH wants to communicate with his family and friends, he can email them or call them. He doesn't HAVE to have Myspace to talk to them.
In my opinion, the Myspace page and any non essential internet activity would be stopped immediately.
Anyway, I just had a talk with him and we decided he needs to go back to the Sex AA meetings. He can't fight his sex addiction alone.
As for Myspace, I'm not his mom. Myspace isn't to blame, he's the one that chooses to look up those women.
Sites like AFF and the like are forbidden.
A few months ago I also found other contacts on his instant messenger which he claimed "I don't know how they got there!" Whatever. There are charges on our bank account to ifriends and to some bondage site -- both of which he claims he didn't start! Now, I will say that doing a search online does produce many claims of fraud against the two places and possibly that is the case. Possibly.
His computer is in the bedroom and he wakes up very early for work. I have woken up very early and laid there watching and he will ever so slightly turn around as if stretching to see if I am awake. I don't know what he is doing. Looking back, when we were first married we lived apart (due to the military) and one day I was in his barracks room and there phone numbers from women he met online.
I don't know what to do. I have been reading about these keylogger programs but he works with computers so I don't know if he'd know. Plus, I would have to order it in the mail since I live overseas and he has the only mailbox key.
He keeps saying we will go to counseling but there is always some excuse. I love him and hate him at the same time.
Sick of his sh*t.
I have been reading about these keylogger programs but he works with computers so I don't know if he'd know. Plus, I would have to order it in the mail since I live overseas and he has the only mailbox key.
Nope, you can download those programs and purchasing the software is optional. However, if he works with computer he might figure a way to uninstall it.
Tolana PM coming your way on that keylogging software.
Anyone else is welcome to PM me too if you need help or info.
Still in shock that again he is asking for stuff on these ads that I'd be happy to do for him if he gave me a clue.
Sorry since it has been such a long time since I have been in here and I would like to say hello to all the new people in this topic. I am so sorry you people are here and let me tell you that your not are not alone in this area, there are many, many others that have felt the pain you are going through right now and they are all great people that can help.
Just to give you all an update, my wife is still on the computer quite a bit, but now it is all my fault. I am causing the divorce too (even though she asked for it) I am sooo controlling that she does it to prove she can do whatever she wants
Really the reason that people do this is because they think the can treat their spouse anyway they want and they are powerless to do anything about it.
The person that said their spouse was going to break the computer because of what they did, I would have been like....Go ahead, you are curing your own disease..
Keep fighting all of you, don't take their gaslighting, stand up for your rights for a good relationship.
As it is you deserve it!!!!!!!!!!!
What an uncomfortable situation though, her still in the home but acting single...ewww.
Good luck to you and your daughter!
It seems your WS is living a double life, unfortunately they are both in your home, one IRL and one online.
I find it really disrespectful that he spent 4 yrs on that message board without letting you know and without acknowledging his marital status.
I think that is the basic betrayal piece there. The EA and ONS (if that's true) are laced together in the one basic step he made in deception.
My FWH had about the same amount of time under his belt. His was chat rooms and instant message interactions. He even said that if a woman asked he would tell her he was married, but she had to ask, otherwise it was all fair game.
It took a long time and a lot of battles fought to finally get down to the basic betrayal...that he went online at all without being married in his heart, without holding me and our marriage in a respectful place. He went online with the notion of having some harmless fun...but he was so wrong about that!
It really is difficult to imagine that someone could build an entire online persona and live it for four years, let alone let it go immediately. It is possible that he had slowly been realizing what he was doing and finally when it reached the PA part he got scared and confused. I say this because he says he had set up other possible PAs and backed out. He knew it was wrong all along.
My FWH did quite a switch around at the very end also. He said that when it finally all came rolling out on the floor and into reality he realized what a fool he had been for that time.
He wanted none of that again!
It is possible, but yes I agree that MC will help him and you come to terms with this.
I do think that he needs to figure out why he gave himself permission to do this in the first place though. AND how he plans to keep from going there again if he feels a need to escape.
I say that only because I noticed that you have only 5 posts since May, so wanted to offer that option.
My story's in my profile, but the tl;dr version is that WH was actually the OM in a few-year cyberaffair with a MOW on the other side of the continent before we started dating. He carried on the cybersexing without telling me (I knew she was an online 'friend' but not what they were up to) until we'd been together two years and I asked him - purely on a hunch.
He's been remorseful and transparent since, but every once in a while he discovers some new way to test the boundaries I established around his online activity. I really do think it's more cluelessness than malice, mind you, which is why he's still got his balls attached.
We're in R and doing ok, but I still keep a close eye on his chat logs. It's kind of amazing how many women out there in cyberland have husbands who 'just don't understand [them].' At least he's learned that that's a Red Flag phrase instead of a usual part of casual conversation.
How is everyone tonight?

U.S. Reps. Rosa DeLauro and Chris Murphy defended the Affordable Health Care Act during a town hall meeting in Middletown Thursday, particularly stressing how the legislation has a positive impact on women.
"Two and a half years ago we fought, we fought hard, and at long last, women's health has been put on equal footing with that of her spouse, her son, her brother," said DeLauro, a longtime Third District congresswoman who is based in New Haven.
DeLauro and Murphy spoke before a group 45 people, most of them women, during the event at the AME Cross Street Zion Church. Each explained how the healthcare law, initiated by President Barack Obama's administration and referred to often as "Obamacare," placed female health equal to that of men. The lawmakers also urged those gathered at the town hall meeting to become advocates of women's health in this regard.
DeLauro, who called the legislation "critical" and noted that Washington has tried to repeal the law "31 times," told the crowd that women routinely pay more than men under a discriminatory practice of "gender rating."
"In fact, women pay 48 percent more for insurance than men," DeLauro said.
The two congressmen joined a panel of healthcare professionals during the event, including Community Health Center's senior VP and Clinical Director Margaret Flinter, surgeon Kristen A. Zarfos, medical director of the Comprehensive Breast Health Center General Surgery at St. Francis, and Teresa C. Younger, executive director of the state Permanent Commission on the Status of Women.
Also in attendance were state Sen. Paul Doyle, D-9, and Meriden resident Dante Bartolomeo, a Democratic candidate for the 13th District State Senate seat.
The Affordable Health Act is needed, Younger explained because, "this is not something insurance companies are going to change on their own. Less than 5 percent of these plans currently cover maternity services."
"The conversation around health care is broad and deep and real," Younger said. "I see a nice representation of women of color here. This is important legislation because women of color often have a higher rate of heart disease, a higher rate of chronic illness, diabetes. We die at higher rates. If we do not own our health care, it will be taken away."
According to Whitehouse.gov, among the many benefits to Connecticut are: free preventive services, no more lifetime limits on care, health insurance on parent's plan, coverage of pre-existing conditions and improving public health.
Murphy, a Fifth District congressman who's running against Republican Linda McMahon for Sen. Joseph Lieberman's seat, said he's often asked why he supports Congressional bills that advance women's health.
"If my wife doesn't make as much as someone doing the exact same job, it affects me," he said.
Zarfos, the Middletown surgeon who in the 1990s spread the word nationwide about "drive-through mastectomies," said lawmakers supporting this bill "have made sure it's not token legislation, because we as women know about tokens, don't we?"
While she was a community organizer at the healthcare4every1 campaign, a non-profit effort to promote affordable healthcare for all citizens, Bartolomeo said she was exposed to a "disturbing" trend.
"One of the things I found most unsettling was people that were opposed to growing the access to affordable and quality health care were often very selfish and it was more about their own situation than community responsibility."
"Opposition comes from fear," Bartolomeo said. "I would much rather sacrifice some of what I have or pay more so my family, friends and neighbors also have the access."
Murphy spoke broadly about the GOP. "Many Republicans in Washington really believe that people should have access to health care only if they're lucky enough to be able to afford it — even if that means that we're all going to pay more for it in the long run.
"Because the person who doesn't get health care until they get so sick that they go to the emergency room, they're willing to pay more so long as they don't violate that basic idea that every person should essentially exist on their own without health care in their community."
DeLauro concluded the panel by saying, "the issues that we talked about today are absolutely issues of life and death. There is nothing that is more important. You need to take that message and you need to drive that home."
"The most important thing, she told those gathered, is to vote in November," DeLauro said.

Austin >Food & Dining > Uncle Billy's
1530 Barton Springs Road, Austin, TX | Directions 7870430.262077 -97.761331
Fri-Sat: 11am-1am, Sun-Thu: 11am-12am
Neighborhoods: South Lamar, Zilker
Summers in Austin are hot, and so is Uncle Billy's BBQ! After a hot afternoon at Barton Springs, I love nothing better then to cool off at Uncle Billy's, sitting on the patio under some misters enjoying a nice cold beer!
Billy Forrester is like Austin's benevolent Godfather of Beer. The former owner of Dog & Duck and Waterloo Ice House, Billy also operates Billy's on Burnet and -- object of this tip -- Uncle Billy's. Craft-brewed beer options here tend toward the wheaty, lighter side, and since you're drinking this with BBQ, we recommend the citrusy Agave Wit to cut through all that (delicious) gristle.
One of many awesome breweries/brewpubs in Austin. The smokehouse cobb salad was so tasty. Ordered a flight of their housemade beers (of course!) and really enjoyed the simple, clean Back 40 Blonde Ale. I'd love to visit the lake location, even if just for the view.
Brew & Cue – Bad service. Would never recommend this to anyone visiting Austin. After over an hour never got our food due to some mix up in the kitchen even though our server assured us three times that he had checked on our food and it was coming. We were actually served someone else's order which we pointed out . Granted this was after ACL but no excuse. At least they comped the beers and gave us a coupon for another meal, but I won't go back. Felt like they just discarded me as a customer.
Live music and barbeque – I had the barbeque turkey, briskey, and pork trio. It was just okay. The band was good. I'm not sure bad bands survive in Austin. The bbq didn't move me, however. The Great June Debate was the highlight of the visit.
great outdoor seating, craft beers but keep looking for bbq – When I go to a BBQ place I want smoke to pour out the chimney and hit me in the nose when I get out of my car. That's the sign of a good BBQ joint. I didn't get that impression here at Uncle Billy's.
I went on a Sunday night with a friend. It was ok but a little expensive. I had the two meat plate with two sides ($13.95). I chose the smoked turkey and the jalapeno cheese sausage with mac n cheese and fries as my sides. My mac was not even warm and my fries were warm. Kitchen basics; I don't know why it is so hard for some places to serve fresh food and to time out all of the components of the dish? They weren't even 1/2 full that night. The mac was flavorless and the fries are tasty and the thin shoe string variety.
The turkey had a good smokey taste and the sausage was ok but wasn't smoked...didn't taste smoked. The food is good but overpriced for what you get. The turykey was dry but I think it was due to being reheated. It wasn't dry which is easy to do with turkey so kudos for that. Both of their sauces are good and I suggest you try them both.
Because it was ok I plan on going back and to try other dishes. It's a great place to hang with friends outside or inside to watch a game.
BEST BEER N BBQ!!!!! – The Service is great and the beer and barbeque are even better. A must for tourists and Austinites alike. Try the turkey and macaroni!!! This place seems to be slow now but tell your friends and lets make it a hot spot!!! Great location too.
Yikes, it was poor – I hate to beat up any restaurant but this was the pits! Service slow and the beer was warm..I wish them more success in the future
Aeh – Must tip my hat to the $2.00 Tuesday beer selections, which is indeed the only day to go the Uncle Billy's give that their beer is very inconsistent (Hefeweizen!). Great to have craft brewing in Austin but don't pat yourselves on the back yet. BBQ good but overpriced - must follow suit with the other overpriced restaurants (i.e. Romeo's).
Best beer and very good barbecue – It's the beer for me ... the brewmaster is Brian Peters who started Live Oak and later brewed at the Bitterend. The "Back 40 Blonde Ale" is AWESOME along with the "Haystack Hefeweizen" - the BEST Hefewizen I have ever tasted. The barbecue is actually quite good - secondary to the beer for me though. They have decent lunch specials, sandwhich and 2 sides for a reasonable price. And 2$ pints on Tuesday. Now, if only Brian would brew up some of that Tres Diablos or pre-prohibition style Pilsner that I used to get at the Bitterend ...
best ribs in austin – these ribs are the best I have put in my mouth. they are not greasy like most rib places, very meaty, meat pulls right off the bone and they have so much flavor. I highly recommend this place for ribs.
Barbecue joint and brewpub serves smoked brisket, ribs, sausage, turkey and the fixings along with pints of freshly made beer. – In Short
Casually attired Austinites kick back for beer and smoked grub under the oak trees on the laidback wooden deck. The restaurant interior features windowed garage doors overlooking Barton Springs Road that are raised during good weather and provide great people-watching opportunities. As the evening goes on, the restaurant welcomes casual drinkers and diners. Beer lovers partake of five beers made on site, including a hefeweizen, blonde ale, amber and an IPA.

950 Danby Rd Ste 16, Ithaca, NY | Directions 1485042.423254 -76.501982
We have been making use of this company for years and have had consistently good luck. Betsy and her cleaners are conscientious, reliable and dedicated. They consistently do a lovely job, they clearly care about what they do, and they are very flexible -- I have had to cancel at the last minute several times and Betsy never complains. By contrast, they never cancel on me! Their prices are fair and their service is excellent.
Terrible Service and Stolen Item
Clearly many of these good reviews come from the owner herself - look below, Betsy Cleveland wrote a great review about herself and she owns the company!
I hired them to clean my rental house. Not only did they do a terrible job (e.g., they forgot to clean the refrigerator and wouldn't even lower the price when i sent them pictures of how dirty it was) but they STOLE an expensive item from my home. the owner did nothing to rectify the situation.
i will never use this company again. don't say i didn't warn you.
I would recommend Broom Hilda's House Cleaning as I have been using this company for years. The owner, Betsy, also reminds me when it is time for the yearly chimney cleaning.
omg what a pleasant person Betay Cleveland is and vey accommadating. The crew did an excellent job in a short period of time My review would be top notch for this company.
We recently moved to Ithaca this last year and got to a point with three kids that we needed a house cleaner. We found Broom Hilda House Cleaning on line and had them come for an estimate. Betsy Cleveland the owner of the business came and was just awesome! Friendly, thorough in her evaluation of our needs and reasonable with rates. We have been using them now for close to a year and couldn't be happier. I would recommend Broom Hilda to anyone needing house cleaning services and they cleaned out chimney this last fall too. Great people and great service!
best house cleaning service i have ever used!!!!! – i just started useing Broom Hilda's house cleaning service last summer and i dont usually write reviews on these sites but i couldn't keep from sharing with everyone how pleased i am with this company.......by far the best ever!!!!!!
House Cleaning for the holidays. – For years I've used Broom Hilda's to clean my house before my children come home for the holidays. I usually remember to call and book my appointment early on in the season but this year due to a personal crisis it completely slipped my mind. Broom Hilda's was very accommodating and was able to get my house spotless in time for my kids to arrive home...not that they didn't mess it up before our big family holiday gathering...but Broom Hilda's was great and I really appreciate their flexibility and wonderful service over the years!
Great way to get clean windows – I've used Broom Hilda to clean my windows for more than 5 years. I've been very happy with the service. The crew arrives on schedule, and they are efficient, polite and unobtrusive. Definitely worth it to get windows that sparkle!
Shockingly poor service – Those reading these reviews should be forewarned that the only positive reviews have been written by the company's employees or the owner herself. I received the worst service imaginable from broom hildas awhile ago. I felt compelled to write because recently, a couple of my coworkers went through the same experience. Simply put, the cleaners do not clean, do not act like the kind of people you would trust in your house, and the service is ridiculously expensive. Given that Ithaca is such a small region, the company should be aware that word gets around...it is difficult to get through one month on the "rants and raves" section of craigslist without seeing another local who was scammed by this operation. Maybe instead of spending time countering the highly accurate negative reviews of this service, the owner could actually bite the bullet and focus on improving her service and hiring credible employees before it's too late.

1930'sDonald Anderson '33 celebrated his 100th birthday in December. A Kalamazoo native, Anderson matriculated from Kalamazoo Central High School to "K," where he graduated magna cum laude. He then attended the University of Michigan Law School before returning to Kalamazoo in 1939 to practice law. He made a significant mark on the local and state court system during his tenure as a judge and through his involvement in youth programming. From 1949 to 1961, he was Kalamazoo County's probate and juvenile court judge. He then took time off from law, becoming educational director for Children's Charter, an organization that aims to improve and standardize the treatment of children in the court system. Some of his ideas are still being used in Michigan's courts. Anderson was elected circuit court judge in 1970, serving on the bench until his retirement in 1982. Happy birthday, Donald!
1940'sDorothy (Chisholm) Wallace '46 has a personal stake in a growing problem: Alzheimer's Disease. Statistics suggest that someone is diagnosed with the condition every 69 seconds, and of the leading causes of death nationwide, Alzheimer's Disease is one of the few that's growing. What's more, an estimated 15 million Americans are providing care for loved ones, and as the baby boomers age this number will only increase. "What's happening with Alzheimer's is scary," says Wallace, 87, and it's scarier for her. Her husband, Stuart Wallace '43, passed away from the disease, and research suggests that her children and grandchildren, 20 in total, may be genetically predisposed to developing it. It's a cause for concern, and Dorothy is taking action. She has worked tirelessly to raise awareness and support, becoming a team leader in the national Annual Walk to End Alzheimer's and collecting the most money of any team in the state of Georgia. She also knows the stresses that Alzheimer's places on the caregiver and the family, and so she went to the Georgia State Senate to advocate for respite care, a humane and economical alternative to nursing. This octogenarian shows no sign of resting, instead urging young people to get involved and educated. "A cure must be found," she says. Thanks in part to her efforts, we might be headed in that direction.

That evening he said, "the most dramatic improvement in my teaching occurred when, in addition to teaching the content of psychology, I began to make efforts to explicitly address and foster the epistemological development of my students [with] a new emphasis on breaking down dualistic thinking and [fostering] the ability to distinguish between evidence and inference...." The objective of good teaching, he added, was to help make "students deeper reflective thinkers, young people who are more personally involved in learning," who would know how to apply their knowledge to their lives. On the occasion of that award, his colleague, Professor of Psychology Bob Batsell, described him as "a consummate teacher who reminds us all--students and colleagues alike--that good teachers never stop learning, adapting, and growing." Bob's surviving family members include his wife of 43 years, Sue; two children, Kurt Grossman and Liz Grossman, and his beloved granddaughter, Lily Grossman.
