She's not your friend if she would do that with your spouse.
She is toxic to you and your marriage. Push her out of your life, she will never tell you the truth.
Sorry you are here. 5 of WS s FBs (Fuck Buddies) were "friends" of mine. BTDT.
[This message edited by caretoomuch at 10:48 PM, June 3rd (Sunday)]
My husband was so intoxicated on d-day that he swears he doesn't remember how it started or who started.
My X gave me this line also. Evertime I asked a question I got a different answer. I would not admit to anything until confronted with proof, and even then he denied.
Hell, I caught them in bed together and they BOTH denied they had an A!! WTF??
I did not talk to her, I threw her out of my house that day. He claimed it was the only time at first. Then I found evidence that they stayed in a motel 2 months earlier. He claimed nothing happened.
At this point, both your so-called "friend" and you WH are doing damage control. They will admit to nothing. They will deny everything. Do not trust what they say. I found my proof by looking thru credit card records, bank records, cell phone records,.... When confronted each time the pattern was the same: 1) deny; 2) shift blame; 3) become angry; 4) blame shift some more;
Good luck to you and (((hugs)))
I just wanted to welcome you and say that I'm sorry that you are here. It is a wonderful site and as you can see from my profile, I was also betrayed by my husband and good friend and neighbor. I was totally blindsided and had no idea. I don't live in a small town but I do live directly across the street from the FOW (former other woman). It has been a year since discovery and this whole year has been the worst I have ever had. My mother died 2 months before I found out about the A as well. You still can live near the OW and actually come to a point where you start to be able to not think about the A twentyfour seven. It has taken me over a year to do this. I was obsessed and in shock the first 6 months. It took a husband that was very willing to R or lose his family. The FOW is still married, and hopefully will move. I do not even look her way anymore. I hold my head up. Living well is the best revenge. Fake it until you make it. Time will eventually heal - but it is such a slow process.
Best of luck.
Healed after five years and with God's Grace.
I'm so sorry you are having to deal with this situation.
I understand your feelings and reasons for wanting to move. They are all real and valid.
Living in a small town can be hard at the best of times let alone when dealing with this crap.
I sometimes feel like running away as well but decided I wasn't giving up all the good things about where I live. Thankfully, my FWH will do whatever I feel is needed to move forward.
Only you can decide if this is a "must do" to move forward. Your H needs to understand how important this is to you and your R.
I wish you well in your decision.
Both giving our best to R.
Small town here too!!!!
In fact, SI has more members then there are people in my town.
Anyway...Did YOU have the affair? Then walk around town with your head up high. Don't slink and shy away from people. Learn everything you can about infidelity and become a walking talking billboard about it.
Yup...you are married to a scum. But that doesn't mean YOU are scum. That's reserved for your WS and the OW. Go out and live your life. Volunteer. Be seen in public. Get a make-over and look great. Live well.
And those people who still are friends with the OW? Then they aren't friends of yours.
As for the OW.. her H ended up finding out 4 months after I did... and when he found out she called my H to tell him that I had been having an affair for years with someone in NY (thats were we are from).. Of course non of its true.. but she knew that my other friend had told him the same story to get him to belive that i was not as innocent as I protray myself to be. She hated it whenever he would say that I was a good wife and trust worthy and that he has never had any reasons to doubt me. Wells he wanted to give him one.. but he didn't believe her.. Only when the second OW said it did he say oh see 2 of your "friends" have siad it.. I was like yeah you retard.. Of course she is going to say anything to make herself look better then the lying whore that she is.. I mean come on.. I ended up writing her a really long e-mail posted below. I got out everythin i needed to.. before i wrote the e-mail she had e-mailed me to apoligize for the affair.. that she did it cause my H empowered her during her times of need.. She was supposeldy no longer in love with her H and wanted out..
Anyway below is my letter to her and it felt wonderful to send it to her..
I truly think you need help. I think what you have is called Bi-Polar disorder. You make no sense in the things you say or try to insinuate. As for you deciding to move on and not interfere in my life.. lol. sweetie.. you had no choice. I never gave you the option to continue to be in my life.. nor in J. But if it makes you feel better to think that then by all means.. please continue to amuse yourself in such a manner. When it concerns the car. I could really care less what was discussed or not between you and your "friend". I am not taking the car loan out in my name now nor ever for that matter. I have an e-mail from you dated back to April 25, 2006, in which you sated" I will forward to you the signed agreement in reference to the car". Legally that is all I need to prove a verbal contract in reference to the car. "I would really hate to continue to call every month". Is that suppose to bother me? If you feel the need to call please do so. I will make the car payments at my earliest convenience. Just as you stated you would give me the signed agreement for the car at your earliest convenience. In response to having someone else do me a favor like you did.. Just exactly what was your favor? Screwing MY husband? Or let me see Ruining my children's family? or showing me that you can trust no one? I need no one to do me favors. I will take care of my things on my own. I need no one. Unlike you, who seems to need other women's husbands to validate who you are in life. That is so sad not to mention pathetic .
As to your comment about becoming close to me to get to J. Once again you need to pay better attention to what I said. This will be the second time I tell you yes. I know that, however it still does not negate the fact that you still crossed over a line that should have never been crossed. And your right there is no justification for doing what u did. You want to say you were vulnerable, fragile and needed empowerment. You should feel ashamed. Having those needs you decide that the way to appease your feelings was to destroy a family. Your personalities did match.. You are both Liars, Cheats and Whores, of course you matched.. I could have told you that one. Didn't your mother ever teach you to be a good moral person and to keep your legs crossed. You talk about how he empowered you to get control of your life. All you are doing is admitting that you are a weak and worthless person. You need someone to validate who you are. I feel so sorry for you. No matter what I have gone through with J I have never needed anyone to validate who I am. Do you know Why? Because I am a good person. I have values and morals. I am a good wife, friend, mother and person. Unlike you it seems. You cared nothing of destroying a family in order to appease your own selfish feelings. Also I would suggest that my son's name never crosses your mouth again. You have the audacity to mention my son's name when you turn around and destroy his life. You have nerve. And just so that your clear I have never/nor will I ever worry about you taking J from me nor my kids. lol..lol.. All you were to J was a piece of ass. You gave it, he took it just like every other whore. If you ever thought you were something more then PLEASE GET OVER URSELF....
Yes I know I was a good friend. I have morals, values, character and a love of self. Something that you seem to have not received in life. No matter how sorry you are for what you did it will never be enough to repair the damage that you two have caused. The damaged that you created to validate and empower yourself is forever lasting.. but hey.. you were empowered right?? I guess that was worth it. And you have some nerve saying to me that you hope this taught me and Jj to appreciate and respect one another. It seems that the one that needs to learn about appreciation and respect is you and J. I am not the whore that you are.. so please do not refer to me in the same text as J nor you. You really need to take a close look at yourself. You have slept with two of Carlos's friends and you talk about respect. You have no respect for others or yourself. Its such a shame because a woman who cannot respect herself is nothing more then a cheap slut. I can only hope to god that you do not pass on your set of morals and values to your children. Your daughter deserves to be more then a whore like her mother. I can also guarantee you that I will never go through what you and J put me through ever again. I was "EMPOWERED" by the actions of you two disgusting people and am much better person for it. Also please do not ascertain to know anything of my life. You say that you are happy that J and I remain together yet I deserve better. You know nothing of my life and my decision.. so keep your ridiculous comments to yourself. All of a sudden you care to tell me what I deserve. Please.. you are so disgusting.
As for following up with your suggestion.. I guess I don't have to tell you were you can stick that suggestion do I.
Take care
[This message edited by hurtonceagain at 4:23 PM, June 28th (Thursday)]
That day I could barely breathe or get out of bed. I just felt like screaming and running away. I couldn't wait for it to be morning so I could confront her. My two best girlfriends helped me be strong enough to tell her spouse. While I was screaming at her in front of her spouse, she just had the nerve to smile at me.
Now I see her smirking face everywhere and I hate living next door to that FB. The posts on SI have helped though. StupidMe in particular as she advised me not to be the hunted but the hunter instead. I did nothing wrong and I hope she sees me being happy when she's hopefully miserable. I seriously hope Karma will take care of that c*nt.
My FWH is very very remorseful and is trying his best to fix things but he isn't innocent and I'm trying hard to understand and make peace with it. I keep thinking that life could be so much worse, but not much.....
WTF do people think by doing this to a friend? It makes me crazy to know that I was so duped by her. She never apologized and wanted him to leave me for her. UGH!!!! Our kids are friends - at the very least you would think she would feel bad about that!!!
I still hate being in my yard and wondering if she is sneaking glances out her window to see my FWH. I am so paranoid that if I come home late from work, they'll have more opportunities to see each other. There has been NC since dday and I'm anal retentive about checking our phone and cell records.
I can't wait to move!!!!! Thanks for all the support for our awful situations.
It must be so hard living next to her. She was never your friend. She pretended to be but she was not.
Take good care of yourself. You are so close to d-day, I am sure it still seems unreal.
Welcome to our little club.
Like you I don't get why they would do this to us, but they did and we just have to deal with it.
I'm so sorry for you that you are here.
I hate to be the one to say it but please be aware that there may be more to the story than you are aware.
My H told me it was just a kiss. 4 months later I got the truth. It was a 6 month PA.
I'm not saying that this is the same in your case but I just want you to be aware there may be more to the story.
My H travels a lot for work as well so I understand your pain there. Even though his A happened at home and not away, it's close to the stage where he will have to change jobs as I can't handle him being away.
You can't begin to heal and hopefully trust again one day until you know the full truth.
I wish you all the best.
What doesn't kill me, makes me stronger.
Life is a test.
If this woman is going to be around you then you have to find a way to protect yourself.
My OW is my SIL and for obvious reasons I still have to see her at times.
My way of dealing with it is to pretend she doesn't exist. I don't speak to her. I don't look at her. I don't acknowledge her in any way at all.
It does make it uncomfortable for others but it is the ONLY way I can deal with it. The alternative is to rip her damn head off and that wouldn't help the family at all.
I refuse to allow her to push me out of MY family gatherings. I have every right to see my family and she has no right to stop me.
It hurts like hell when I see her but I just keep telling myself that she is a non entity to me. I won't give her any space in my head. Easier said that done though.
My FWH is great and spends all his time glued to my side whenever we see her. I watch closely, he doesn't even look in her direction.
If you HAVE to see this woman then you and your H need to talk about how you handle yourselves when she is around.
Good Luck and heaps of hugs...

The Moche civilization flourished in northern Peru from about 100 AD to 800 AD. Many scholars contend that the Moche were not politically organized as a monolithic empire or state. Rather, they were likely a group of autonomous polities that shared a common elite culture, as seen in the rich iconography and monumental architecture that survive today. They are particularly noted for their elaborately painted ceramics, gold work, monumental constructions, huacas and irrigation systems. Moche society was agriculturally based, with a significant level of investment in the construction of a network of irrigation canals for the diversion of river water to supply their crops. Their culture was sophisticated; and their artifacts express their lives, with detailed scenes of hunting, fishing, fighting, sacrifice, sexual encounters and elaborate ceremonies. The Moche cultural sphere is centered around several valleys on the north coast of Peru. Their Huaca del Sol, a pyramidal adobe structure on the Rio Moche, had been the largest pre-Columbian structure in Peru. However, it was partly destroyed when Spanish Conquistadores mined its graves for gold.

Breast is best
The best nutrition for babies is breastmilk. Each individual mum is entitled to make a decision as to whether they fully breastfeed their baby or not. However, once the decision has been made not to breastfeed, it can be difficult to reverse.
Breastfeeding is best for babies. Maternal nutrition requirements increase during breastfeeding. Before introducing infant formula, always seek professional advice, as once bottle feeding has been commenced it is difficult to reverse the decision. Partial bottle feeding may also adversely affect breastfeeding. Always use an infant formula as directed because improper use can affect the health of the infant. Always consider the social and financial implications before selecting a method of infant feeding.
If you are considering using infant formula, it is important to discuss with your midwife (LMC), well child/Tamariki Ora Nurse or Plunket Nurse or lactation consultant or GP.

The Fresno Business Journal (California) - Intertie project breaks ground in Tracy
[MEMBER MENTIONED: Jim Costa (CA-20)]
Congressman Jim Costa gave his praise today at a groundbreaking ceremony for a project that will link the Delta Mendota Canal to the California Aqueduct.
With funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $14.6 million contract in July to begin construction on the $34 million Intertie project designed to deliver more water to distressed San Joaquin Valley farmers.
'I fought for this project because more water equals more Valley jobs,' Costa said. 'The Intertie will deliver more water to our region and help strengthen our economy. This project was stalled for years, but we used all of the tools at our disposal to make it a reality…' [10/14/10]

The Waukesha-based Zignego Company is the general contractor on the $43 million reconstruction of the I-94 Badger Interchange…

Torres books quarter-final berth as Rafa has last laugh
A potential fixture pile up of three games in six days over Easter and the fact that besieged interim manager Rafael Benitez dared show a sense of humour to joke that he'd probably get the blame for that, too, dominated the headlines before Chelsea's second-leg Europa League clash with Steaua Bucharest.
- Torres sends Chelsea through
- Cech expected to progress
- Video: Chelsea 3-1 Bucuresti (UK & Ireland)
"They will say it's my fault, because everything is my fault," Benitez joked (or "mocked the fans" depending on what newspaper you read). The fact is, of course, that it is Benitez's fault. Fixtures only pile up for teams that are successful, so credit for the Blues' accomplishments must go the Spaniard, however begrudgingly by some.
And Chelsea's stop-start 3-1 win over Bucharest at Stamford Bridge on Thursday night ensured that fixture pile up will happen.
First up will be a Premier League clash with Southampton on March 30 when the Blues can shore up their place in the top four, followed by an FA Cup quarter-final replay against Manchester United. Then comes the Europa League tie on April 4 against the likes of Benfica, Lazio or whoever comes out of the hat in Friday's draw.
Suddenly, Rafa's tenure doesn't seem quite so unpalatable. And that's no joke.
It's not all sweetness and light, though. On Thursday, the Blues began with an attacking lineup and a swagger carried over from their swashbuckling FA Cup fight back against Manchester United. But their step was quickly checked when returning skipper John Terry, rested for the game at Old Trafford, failed in an attempt to nip in ahead of Alexandru Chipciu to steal the ball. Chipciu set Raul Rusescu, scorer of the only goal in the first leg, racing clean through and only a great save from Petr Cech denied the striker.
Scrappy was the term to describe what followed. Out of nowhere came a goal for the home side as Juan Mata burst forward and latched onto a misplaced pass from Ramires before his scuffed shot hit the goalkeeper and trickled over the line. Scrappier still was Chelsea's hybrid zonal/man-marking system that left Vlad Chiriches free to poke the ball home for Steaua's contender for scrappiest moment of the match after a game of pinball broke out in the Chelsea box.
At 1-1 on the stroke of halftime, it left Chelsea needing to score twice and that looked unlikely. But after the break -- and a few presumably wise words from Rafa -- there was nothing shoddy about Mata's deadball delivery to pick out Terry's run and unerring header to make it 2-1.
And then it happened. The Fernando Torres of old showed up. Receiving the ball in the box, he manufactured a yard of space under the watch of defender Lukas Szukala and swept a low shot into the far corner, past the despairing dive of goalkeeper Ciprian Tatarusanu. Stamford Bridge erupted. At 3-1 Chelsea were going through, but Torres, who has scored just two goals in his previous 19 matches, wasn't finished.
The striker, who played his best football under Benitez at Liverpool, tested and teased the Steau defence and when, late on, Chelsea won a penalty, up stepped Torres to mark his long-awaited return to form. A shrug of the shoulders, a swipe of the boot and then an all-too-familiar look to the heavens as his effort smacked against the bar. The old Torres returned.
Still, it was another win for Benitez's Blues and while his potential replacement Guus Hiddink was crashing out of the Europe League as Newcastle beat big-spending Anzhi the interim boss marched on.
And maybe, just maybe, if he can do the seemingly impossible and add an in-form Fernando Torres to two potential cups wins and Champions League qualification they'll let him stay on.

Blumenthal, a Clinton administration adviser, compares a new film based on the Copperheads to Gone With The Wind:
Copperhead, the newly released Civil War movie directed by Ron Maxwell, lacks the scope, star power and drama of the all-time blockbuster. But it's in a tributary of the tradition -- stretching from Gone with the Wind through Maxwell's ponderous Gods and Generals -- of Lost Cause mythology. The story takes a few liberties with an obscure late-19th-century novella based on a completely fabricated and otherwise unlikely incident in upstate New York in order to offer an alternative interpretation of the Civil War: that Abraham Lincoln was a bloodthirsty tyrant trampling the Constitution, that those who opposed the war in the North were not Southern sympathizers but true patriots, and that those truly loyal to the Constitution were the persecuted victims of an oppressive regime and virtual dictator who used emancipation as an instrument of his drive for power. Though Copperhead is a sad little morality play that has swiftly flickered away, it represents an increasingly fashionable pseudo-history among ideological re-enactors who wear Revolutionary War costumes but never the Union blue. 'Do I think Lincoln was wrong in taking away the freedom of the press and the right of habeas corpus? Yeah,' said Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky recently."

And now, more than 15 years since its release, London-based artist Aled Lewis created a mash-up of video game characters and photographic scenes. So, for every Nintendo fan it will be a big pleasure viewing these images and remembering those careless childhood days.

Win over Stoke proves Hughton is a street fighter
Chris Hughton is not a man who betrays outward emotion. But the double-fist pump that greeted Norwich City's priceless 1-0 Premier League away win at Stoke Sunday was a big moment for the man and the manager.
The Canaries' chief has found himself in the spotlight after anaemic awaydays this campaign brought no league goals and precious little entertainment for a hard-pressed away support. Defeat at home in the Premier League last time out to Aston Villa and Paul Lambert brought unwanted pressure from outside forces who questioned Hughton's suitability to remain in the post at Carrow Road.
City's players answered in emphatic style for their manager at a Britannia Stadium which, for the past five years, had been a veritable graveyard. It may well now become synonymous with Hughton's resurrection. Jonny Howson's 34th-minute match-winner was the bare minimum Norwich deserved for a dominant first half that prompted Potters' chief Mark Hughes to make two changes at the interval.
Jermaine Pennant and in particular the cultured Stephen Ireland injected a badly-needed thrust for the hosts immediately after the interval, but in truth Hughton's side played out the final quarter with few alarms. But for Sunderland keeper Asmir Begovic's athleticism, they would have doubled their advantage when he went full length to claw away Robert Snodgrass' goalbound curler.
Ryan Bennett had also thudded a close range strike against the bar in an opening period when Norwich looked the team full of confidence and belief. There were few visible signs of Hughes' positive impact on the Stoke squad he largely inherited from Tony Pulis. The Potters looked leggy and lethargic with Norwich's midfield trio Howson, Leroy Fer and Alex Tettey the outstanding players on the park.
Peter Crouch's arrival for the final half an hour was textbook Pulis, despite empirical evidence Hughes is trying to evolve the Potters' direct style of football. Norwich's Premier League odyssey will get little easier with games against Chelsea and Arsenal to come either side of the next international break, but a trip to the Britannia underlined there is precious little to choose between large swathes of the Premier League on any given afternoon.
Norwich proved in one 90-minute shift they have the talent and the quality to prosper under Hughton's guidance. The City boss has remained steadfast in his beliefs, but this win will bolster those elements outside the game who felt the manager was in a vulnerable position.
The ultra-competitive nature of the Premier League suggests respite may only be temporary, but Norwich on their best days continue to demonstrate they can achieve their stated aim of top-flight consolidation.

1981 US XC Trials pics
Forum devoted to track & field items of an historical nature.
I, for one, have been sitting this one out too, but I must observe now that you could have spared us a lot of the unpleasantness by simply explaining that in plain English at the outset.
Memory problems?? http://mb.trackandfieldnews.com/discuss ... 462#409462
You've still yet to participate in the thread.
What is there to explain? I posted a picture of mine on a message board. Who has ever asked who has "artistic ownership" of a picture before, and why on earth would they care. It's a picture.
It really has nothing to do with "artistic ownership." As you say, it's a picture. And some people were just curious to know who took it.
I have been very loathe to post pictures here lately, cuz gh has made it clear that we are NOT allowed to if there's any question about 'ownership' of the image. It has become a Hot Topic here.
jamese1045, malmo is in the photo, in front in the New Balance singlet and the long sleeves. A photo someone gave to him, as he said. A nice photo, too. So he scanned it and posted it, not taking it from a website where it would be subject to copyright protection.
Thank you Dr. Jay. It is a good photo as I said in my every post, and I only wanted to compliment the author. The information you supply --and I may even have an idea why Mr. Malmo did not supply--does help, and I do understand.
Thanks, and sorry for the storm in the teapot thing.
