Don't hate Randy Foye. As soon as Utah signed Foye back in July, it seemed like most Jazz fans were initially impressed at how reasonable the deal was for a proven 3-point threat… then everyone was suddenly terrified that he was going to devour all of Alec Burks' minutes. Fans might be preconditioned to have that sort of response after watching C.J. Miles and Raja Bell do unspeakable basketball things last season while Burks stared into space from the bench, but there isn't nearly the same amount danger with Foye. I have two central reasons why Randy Foye is awesome: 1) His Villanova teams from a few years back are in the pantheon for most entertaining college basketball teams ever. Easily. I picked them to go too far in my March Madness bracket in both 2005 and 2006 and I don't even regret it at all because they were so much fun. Whatever happened to Allan Ray, anyway? 2) If he plays backup point guard and fills in for Mo Williams, like he did in the final preseason game tonight, then Burks' minutes will go largely unscathed. They can easily share the backcourt together and Foye won't take lots of terrible shots or disappear completely or anything disastrous. 3) (Bonus!) His organs are all backwards.
Offseason Accomplishments: He is always keeping busy working for his nonprofit organization. This summer he put together Regina's Run, named after his late mother, a 5k in Newark to help families in need. He also signed with the Jazz, obviously.
Patronus: Bluejay
Stat to Watch: Assist percentage. Last year, the Clippers had him play exclusively as a spot-up shooter. While he filled that role very well, it didn't really give him a chance to show off a point guard skill set, leaving him with an assist percentage of 14%. That is really low. (For point of reference, Devin Harris was at 28% last year, Jamaal Tinsley was at 36%, and Earl Watson was at 28%.) If he can get back up to 20% or so, he'll be much better equipped to fill the role in the Jazz backcourt that they need him to fill. Oh, and if he keeps making lots of threes. That would also be good.
Three Potential Outcomes of the Season:
1. He thrives in his role as backup point guard, leading one of the most entertaining second units the Jazz have ever had in an efficient offense and stingy defense. He throws lots of alley-oops and has a great time doing it. He keeps clipping about 38% from behind the arc, endears himself to Jazz fans, and signs on for another year. Who knows? Maybe he goes to the 3-point shootout this year so that the Jazz can win something if Jeremy Evans' repeat bid for Slam Dunk Champ goes awry.
2. He turns out to have too much of a scoring mentality to really be what Utah needs. He generally shoots tons of pull-up threes–a few too many to merit being primarily a point guard, which leads to some problems. I have to bite my lip and repeat the two-and-a-half reasons to like him mentioned above a few times to myself throughout the season, but he still shoots well enough that he stays in the good graces of Utah's fans and organization, even if the #FreeAlecBurks movement is somewhat incensed.
3. He does really well for the Jazz until January or so, when the Big East invites Western Michigan and Eastern Washington to be full-time members of the conference starting immediately. Bursting with Villanova pride, Foye abruptly announces his retirement from the NBA and goes to coach the Wildcats and redeem Big East basketball. He exclusively uses a 7-guard rotation without playing a single player over 6'4″, they average 90 points a game and go undefeated for the rest of the season to win March Madness. I'm simply delighted because I totally picked them in my bracket.

Italo Calvino said: The more enlightened our houses are, the more their walls ooze ghosts. Describe the ghosts that live in this house: Image credit: "love Don't live here anymore…" – © 2009 Robb North – made available under Attribution 2.0 Generic
Love lived here. That was a long time ago, judging by the people that have come and gone since then, but most of the time it feels like just yesterday. To me, it often feels as if time hasn't passed at all, and he's still sitting in the chair next to me. The night of our wedding was beautiful. We were married in a little church surrounded by close friends and family. We couldn't afford much, but we were happy and never needed much. We didn't have the money for a honeymoon, so we moved into our new little home after leaving the church that night. Our family and friends wished us well, and then it was just us for the rest of our lives. The house was small, but that was part of its charm. We had two old chairs passed down by my grandmother, and we put them next to each other in front of our window in the living room. Actually, that's all we could fit in the living area, but we enjoy the intimacy of the tiny room. It quickly became our favorite place to be. We would sit effortlessly beside each other for hours every night until we would go to bed together. In the summer, we would spend our weekends outside. Henry would plant vegetables, while I worked on my flowers. I loved this time of year, especially because of how playful Henry was in the warm weather. We would often cool down with a glass of homemade lemonade, and Henry would always swear that it was the best drink he had ever had. I would remind him that it was the exact same drink he had the day before, but he would just smile and say, "No, it's way better!" Oh, that smile. We didn't fight often, but when we did, all he had to do was flash a smile at me and I completely forgot what we were fighting over. All anger just disappeared. I suppose that's why I fell in love with him so quickly – I was so stubborn, and he was so brilliant. I was a dark night, and he was the fireworks in my sky. The memories are beautiful and sad, especially in the winter. I don't remember why we didn't have children. I suppose it was my fault. Nevertheless, we looked forward to many years of growing old together – years that were stolen from us. I don't remember how old I was when I died. I don't know how I died. I was not in my youth, but I was robbed of many years from beloved husband, this much I know. The last thing I can remember was sitting next to him while he flipped through a magazine. Henry jumped up suddenly, the fear in his eyes still haunts me, as he screamed my name over and over. "Anne! Anne!" And that's it. That was the last thing I recall. I do not know if I was sick. I do not know if it was sudden. I do not know if I was screaming or slumped over or already dead. I felt no pain, no fear…just pure anguish over my dear husband's distorted face. For all I know, a mass murderer or a bear or a tornado ripped through our home. But I will never know, because Henry never spoke of it. After I died, I couldn't leave him. Not yet, anyway. I had to be near him, to bring him comfort, to see how he was doing. If I'm being honest, I have to admit that I knew leaving him alone would be best for him. He needed to move on just as much as I did. But like I said, I was stubborn, and although my intentions were genuine in the beginning, it soon became an addiction to me, and I stayed for selfish reasons. I couldn't leave him alone, because I couldn't be without him. It's a strange thing, to admit that you purposely haunted the man you loved after you died, but that's exactly what I did. He talked to me, but he rarely looked at me. He couldn't see me most of the time, but when he drank enough or went days without sleep, I could swear he was looking me right in the eyes. Maybe when he was closest to death, he felt me the most. When Henry was sober, he would tell me about the weather and current events, and when he was drunk, he would tell me how much he missed me. But never gave any kind of hint or indication how I died. He never even said my name. That could have been one of the reasons I stayed. I wanted to hear him whisper my name, just one more time. I craved it more than anything. One day, when he was sober, he got a phone call. He left home for 2 weeks. I'll never know where he was or what he did, but he came back looking younger and healthier than ever. Perhaps I was slowly killing him. If I had loved him more, I would have left. Right then and there, I would have walked away and never looked back. But I didn't, and he never moved out of the house, so maybe he still needed me just as much as I still needed him. He eventually slipped into his old ways. The day he took his own life was unspeakable, although I know I'm the one responsible for his death. His last words were, "I love you forever, Anne." He was looking directly at me, and he flashed a dazzling smile. After he was gone, it was time for me to go. I had no reason to stay, there was no one keeping me here. But I didn't. I couldn't leave our home because leaving meant losing the precious memories we shared. Eventually, a child moved in with her parents, but I scared her, so they left. I never intended to scare her away, but I didn't exactly want a child in my home, either. Not when I was never given the chance to have that. I would have never hurt her, and I loved her bright smile. She reminded me of my Henry. Maybe our daughter would have looked just like her. But it was too painful to watch her grow, and I realized I couldn't properly mourn my lover and our life together when there was new life in our home, so I would watch her intently until they finally left. When they were gone, I realized how distracted I had been by them. It was quite a while before another family moved in, and I was both lonely and grateful for the silence. A young couple moved in, and they didn't have children, but they were so in love that it hurt even more than the first family. They were more difficult to get rid of, because it's much easier for a child to feel or see my presence, but I was relentless. They left abruptly one night, and it seemed like years passed before anyone came by to see the house again. It may have just been days. My concept of time is different now. Nevertheless, an older couple finally moved in. They didn't like each other very much. I enjoyed them immensely. One day, the husband brought home a parrot. They named him Henry. For obvious reasons, I made sure they were gone the next day. Dozens of families moved in and moved out, but they were all wrong for my home. Eventually, they stopped coming. These days, it's just me and this old house, but I think if that older couple came back, I would let them stay. I would even let Henry the parrot stay, if it meant someone to talk to. I could call him Hank, I suppose. Or maybe I would leave for good. But no one comes by, not even to visit or look at the house, and I'm not sure if that makes me happy or sad. I can barely remember who I was before I became who I am today. I seem to question a lot of things lately. But all I know for sure is that I see my Henry everywhere, and he haunts me intensely, much more than I ever haunted him. His radiant smile shines vividly, blinding my darkness, and it is pure torture. Love lived here many years ago, but love don't live here anymore.

Pirates v Brew Crew, 9/19/2014
This was the start of the last series of the year with much playoff implication involved.
I arrived early and admired the Roberto Clemente Statue for a moment, took a close up pic to start the day.
With the Brewers having a long night Erik, Dom C and myself were wondering if we would see the Brewers take bp.
In the meantime I worked the North Side Notch area shouting out to Stolmy Pimentel, Volquez, Liriano, and Jose Tabata. After some persistence I got a toss up from Stolmy Pimentel, Ball 1.
Ball 2 was fired to me by Heberto Andrade, it had a little tail on it as it whipped in.
Tony Sanchez tossed up a ball that was off the mark to some people in the front row, I was close enough to pick up the overthrow and give it to the intended target, Ball 3.
Ball 4 was a scrum of a homer from an unidentified Brewer.
After patiently waiting for Mark Reynolds to provide some homers to LF he finally lifted one onto the LF cross walk. Playing deep in the last row of the bleachers, I took a good route up the steps out of the bleachers and onto the crosswalk in time to make an extended grab of the Reynolds bomb, Ball 5.
Ball 6 was a caught homer in LF.
Ball 7 a toss up at the end of bp by an unidentified Brewer bullpen pitcher.
Pirates v Red Sox, 9/16-17-18/2014
The Pirates returned from a long road trip for the final home stand of the season to face the Boston Red Sox. Unlike past years the Red Sox fans were few and far between as they are in last place.
I looked forward to leaving everything I had at the ballyard for a good finish to the season, and up until today this home stand has been very good.
Beginning on the 16th, Tuesday.
Brent Morel toss up connection for Ball 1.
Ball 2 was a ground rule double which I grabbed after the Morel toss up.
Ball 3 was a Heberto Andrade toss up.
Ball 4 was a toss up from an unidentified Red Sox reliever.
David Ortiz put on a show at each of the 3 games this series. I caught a hr from him each of the days, and one off the roof of the Rita's stand way out on the riverwalk. Hell of a time tracking his monster home runs.
This was a scene of plenty action.
And the Rita's stand catch off the roof for Ball 6.
Over in LF I got a toss up from Junichi Tazawa, Ball 7, and a caught homer for Ball 8.
17th, Wednesday
Heberto Andrade toss up for Ball 1.
Tony Sanchez toss up for Ball 2.
The Pirates picked things up at the end of their bp resulting in two scrums, Ball 3-4.
That was it for the Pirates, over in CF I caught a home run of the bat of Cuban Defector, Rusney Castillo way out in CF. Just noticed he is listed as 5'9, 185, well he must put everything into his swing.
I was 3 rows back from straight away center for the Castillo home run catch, Ball 5.
And then the Big Papi show again.
Ball 6 was a scrum for a Papi hr, Ball 7 a caught Papi homer.
Ball 8 was a caught homer in CF, player unidentified.
18th, Thursday
Ball 1 Heberto Andrade toss up.
Ball 2 scrum.
Ball 3 Big Papi caught homer.
Ball 4 scrum.
Good times seeing the Red Sox in town, even though I cant stand them. Lots of action.
Three Day Total-20
Pirates v Cubs, PNC Park, 9/12-13-14/2014
The Cubs were in town and the crisp fall air was coming around. I took a pause to take a pic of Willie Stargell's statue en route to Friday's game against the Cubs, the last homestand of the season.
I arrived nice and early to an empty line, aside from Erik Jabs and Baseball Joe. My legs felt good, I was excited to chase some baseballs after a long break from ballhawking.
Sadly though I found out from Erik, who was eyeing things up from the Roberto Clemente bridge that no cages were set up.
This was due to Clint Hurdles bp off day after a road night game deal. The stands were bare as hell and it hurt to wait and wait for what would be a shitty Cubs bp.
I watched Edwin Jackson throw a lengthy side session, I think I have like 2-3 balls from him in the past, so with things limited on the Pirates side I waited, waited, waited….
Edwin appeared to finish the session, talked game with Lester Strode, and paced around, and,,,returned to the mound to throw more. I left for good.
But Edwin would connect with me later on, helping me get on the board. Ball 1, Pic below is Edwin and Lester talking more mechanics.
Straight outta West Germany to
Won a ring with the Red Birds, and threw a no no with the Snakes.
And Ball 2 was a scrum where I locked up on a ball with a Cubs fan, my grip was just enough to hold on.
I arrived early for the game, I took this picture.
We had a nice throwing session on the bridge prior to entrance.
Great place for a throwing session.
Things inside were slow moving for me again, I got the steady toss up of Ball 1 from Heberto Andrade.
I came up with ball 2 on the riverwalk in right center while playing Gregory Polanco, and Andrew Lambo.
Sunday I decided to head to the game with my brother, it was my birthday, 33 y/o. We witnessed the triple play initiated by Josh Harrison which sparked a nice inning of smacking the ball around. Witnessed a nice win in a playoff run, also got into some action with no bp occurring.
Ball 1 I got on a toss up from Stan Kyles, minor league bullpen coach.
This was the angle.
When the clock finally struck 12 I ran over to the left field line to catch the Pirates pitchers after their warm up. In good timing, no kids had arrived on the scene so I had a good chance, I saw Jared Hughes come off the field first and connected for Ball 2.
Prior to the game when Edinson Volquez was ready to pitch I checked out the bullpen. A few moments later a ball was tossed high to some kids against the fence. I reacted to the wild toss and grabbed it,then gave it to the intended recipient, Ball 3.
Pirates vs Reds, PNC Park, 8/30/2014
Pittsburgh Skyline, PNC, Train Tracks
Fox had this one, so game over for Bucco bp, and toss a wratchet into the Reds as well. They used to be tops on my list for hit balls, they have dropped vastly.
Erik and I were on a mission today, with the gate time to the stands being 2:30, as we waited out on the riverwalk area imprisoned.
We made some moves, striking with precision to put ourselves into positions that benefited us both on a day of limited action.
Ball 1 for me was tossed by this Red guy in foul territory.
Hit ball, sliced down the line by Billy Hamilton was my 2nd and final ball of the day on this one of limited action, time, opportunity…
Pirates vs Reds, PNC Park, 8/29-30/2014
Always in a rush to get in for good reason. Roberto Clemente Bridge, Arriba. Speed is always important to me, and things got off to a speedy start for the first three minutes today.
I got in quick enough to see a ball waiting in the deep part of the bleachers by the bullpen for Ball 1.
Andrew Mccutchen has been awesome to see, and provided much stats to add when he is mashing at bp. Ball 2 was a scrum of Mccutchen hr, Ball 3 a caught homer off the bat of Mccutchen. Love playing him, always hits the ball nice and high to make plays on.
Ball 4 was a connect with Heberto Andrade.
Ball 5 a found ball near the top of the upper bleachers, either hit by Mccutchen or Martin.
The Reds bullpen carries a big man by the name of Jumbo Diaz, fitting, as he weighs in on the roster at 315lbs. A former Pirate farmhand who I don't believe ever surfaced with us proved to be a jolly major leaguer with the Red Legs as he tossed me Ball 6, and 7. One in LF, one in RF.
Ball 8 was a caught ricochet home run ball.
Pirates vs Red Birds, PNC Park, 8/26/2014
I almost decided to leave my Cardinal gear at home, I despise them, and they are usually stiffs who don't even consider that your present in the stands. I don't know what it is but its always been their way.
Things began with a toss up at the wall from a more fun, interactive pitcher by that of Edinson Volquez. Been generous throughout the year, Ball 1.
Volquez with Searage and Rojas
Ball 2 was a toss up by Heberto Andrade.
Jordy Mercer placed one nicely in the North Side Notch which took a high bounce, I had more then enough time to get there from left center and caught the ground rule double for Ball 3.
Here is why I was glad I stuck with the Cardinals gear for the last game of the series.
Ball4 toss up by Trevor Rosenthal at the gate to the CF seats on riverwalk.
Upon entrance to the center field seating I saw one generous Red Bird, Pat Neshek, he threw long tosses to Josh H and myself earlier in the season. I said whats up All Star and gave him some positive reinforcement for his work in the previous evenings game, without asking for the ball he tossed it to me for Ball 5.
And I got Shelby Miller, Ball 6, always looking to improve on my toss up game, and today was good.
Slay the Red Birds
Pirates vs Cardinals, PNC Park, 8/25/2014
Pirates vs Braves, PNC Park, 8/18-19-20/2014
Not a difficult conclusion for me that the Braves were the best bp all year. With some help from the Bucs at bp I was able to snag 9 out of 17 total balls via home run.
Monday the Pirates were given some rest after a 5 game losing streak.
I caught on Andrelton Simmons homer for Ball 1.
Caught a ricochet homer ball off the bat of Justin Upton for Ball 2.
And a mammoth homer on the left field crosswalk by Evan Gattis.
Tuesday the Bucs were out and things got off to a good start.
Upon entrance it was apparent that Andrew Mccutchen was back, I played the crosswalk and had one hit right at me for Ball 1.
Heberto Andrade tossed up Ball 2.
Jordy Mercer caught homer on crosswalk for Ball 3.
Ball 4-5-6 scrummed
Ball 7 Evan Gattis caught homer in right center.
Ball 8 scrum
Ball 9 caught homer by Justin Upton in CF
And I have still yet to reach double digits this year.
Teheran, Santana, Avilan, Bonifacio,,,,,
Ball 1-Heberto Andrade toss up
Ball 2-Jordy Mercer Caught homer
Ball 3-Emilio Bonifacio toss up
Ball 4-Caught homer by Evan Gattis
Way back here
Ball 5-Caught homer by Justin Upton
Pirates v Tigers, PNC Park, 8/11/2014
Monday we narrowly escaped heavy rains and got in bp. The Tigers fans always show up big at PNC and they did just that again today.
Tuesday we would not escape the rain as it poured a river onto the PNC warning track, Erik updated me on the situation at PNC and I cruised on home to spend increased time with family.
Ball 1-Jeanmar Gomez toss up
Ball 2-Heberto Andrade toss up
Ball 3-Scrum for Jordy Mercer homer
Ball 4-Caught homer
Pirates v Padres, PNC Park, 8/8-9-10/2014
The Padres just aren't a very promising team for hit balls, and Eriks scouting report on the Padres for toss ups was poor.
Leigh Barratt, a San Diego native was in town, so we hung out and talked a bit, always cool to meet different ballhawks from around the country. Always cool to play host too.
Ball 1-Toss up in LF by Michael Martinez who has been playing some 2nd base and OF for the Bucs lately.
Ball 2-Heberto Andrade toss up
Ball 3-Toss up from Starling Marte
Ball 4-Toss up by Chris Nelson of Padres
Ball 5-Caught homer by Rene Rivera
Ball 6-Odrisamer Despaigne
Ball 7-Scrum
Ball 1-Edinson Volquez toss up
Ball 2-Heberto Andrade toss up
Ball 3-Caught homer by Gaby Sanchez
Ball 4-Toss up by Alex Torres
Sundays I have been trying to just spend time with Dominik and Shianne at the ballgame, and we had a wonderful time together. Dominik asserted himself to Odrisamer Despaigne along the RF line for his first autograph by a professional player, I was proud and this was my hi lite of the day. Shianne and I enjoyed a Rita's during this game also. There would be no batting practice, but I got in Padres gear for their warm ups along the RF line. Only problem was Erik's daughter Olivia cleaned up, getting 3 balls handed to her. All I could do was stand and observe, you cant win when your up against a cute little girl.
Dominik helped me avoid a shutout as he requested a ball from Herbie at the bullpen, I caught the high toss from below for Ball 1 and Dominik tossed it around with is friend he always hangs with at games.

Who's Upset About Aging? Not Those Over 50!This encouraging news was found in a study group lead by Pfizer, the drug company.
Search for More...
Aging, retirement, longevity, happiness
In a survey of over 1000 people over 18, they found that those over 65 are the least likely to lie about their age. People also report becoming increasingly optomistic as they age, with those 50-64 being the most optomistic of any age group. With 10,000 people turning 65 every day and a majority of them will live close to 90, this is important information.
Changing values may contribute to a happier attitude. Given a list of lifetime achievements those 18 to 34 ranked having $1 million ranked first, while those over 65 would rather see their grandchild graduate.
Those who feel aging is better than they expected cite good health (74%), wisdom (72%), and greater appreciation for friends and family (72%) as their top reasons.
Only 25 percent of those over 65 would want to live with a younger relative if they could no longer care for themselves, despite the fact that 51 percent of those 18 to 65 would accept having a parent live with them
The survey also brings to light the concern that after 65, few people were afraid of dying (7%) compared to concerns about losing independence or living with pain or physical limitations (64%)
"Everyone brings a different perspective to the aging process. For many who face enormous health challenges, aging can be a source of dread," said Andy Carter, President and CEO of the Visiting Nurse Associations of America. "For others who are healthier or managing chronic conditions effectively, it is a positive experience. At the VNAA, we recognize the importance of engaging in this conversation as a way to shape our future programs and services to best serve the needs of all aging Americans."

"Incredibly Funny"
I loved this audiobook! Although I'm sure it would be funny to read, listening to Tina Fey narrate added so much more. I liked that she addressed some of the issues that she always is asked about (i.e., being a woman working in comedy/television/writing/being the "boss") in the context of her own experience without being the spokeswoman for all women in this field. She also does not give trite advice about how we can all "have it all" as long as you have a full-time nanny, maid, personal trainer, stylist, and team of personal assistants (I'm looking at you, Gwyneth). I would highly recommend this audiobook.

Awhile back my husband started jogging with an old coworker and I had no problem with it. Then I noticed little changes here and there with his appearance, clothing, wouldn't let me see his phone etc and I got sort of suspicious.
Then he wouldn't tell me exactly where they jog, he didn't really want me to meet her either. So I finally told him that even if they were coincidences these were a lot of signs of cheating.
That day he came home from work and really turned the tables on me. Telling me how unhappy he has been in our marriage for a long time, that I don't do enough around the house, I've been hard to live with at times.
We've since gone to marriage counseling and I've gone to individual therapy as well but it's only getting worse. He says he loves me and won't leave me and wouldn't cheat but he's changed his phone password and refuses to go to church which is very unlike him. He also wouldn't let me meet her after he agreed to it in therapy and went to a festival with her but told me he didn't want me to come because he "needs space".
This is becoming unbearable. I know all the signs are there and he's probably at least having an emotional affair but he won't admit to it and now it's become MY problem where somethings wrong with ME.
Sorry this post is rushed and excuse any poor grammar, I'm running on very little sleep because I'm crying off and on 24/7. I feel so lost and don't know what to do.

I think you're right that he's cheating. I'm sorry to say that.
What do you want? You cannot make him confess, but you can pretty much be assured that he's cheating at least emotionally - and even if by some stretch of the imagination he isn't cheating, he's at the very least disrespecting you.
I think the best thing for you to do is to either try to get proof that he's cheating and confront him, or to start detaching from him, working on yourself, and deciding what YOU want/need to do in this situation. You don't have to live with this - you can put an ultimatum to him, or you can just leave/make him leave. You have a choice too - you don't have to let him jerk you around.
Oh, and don't doubt that he's being a total asshole and rewriting your marriage history right now to justify his behavior. Don't let him blame you. He's full of shit right now; let that blameshifting roll off your back.
((HUGS)) sorry you are in this position.
I'm so sorry. His actions are straight out of the waywards handbook!
Do you have the money to hire a PI? Put a Voice Activated Recorder (VAR) in his car?
That's what I would do - gather evidence... be smart about this - don't beg, ask, confront YET. But get the evidence, give him an opportunity to confess and then show him the door if he doesn't... It's really hard to do...he'll do all sorts of crazy stuff to gaslight you, blameshift, deny... don't buy it!
There is a lot of information here in the healing library...
I'm SO SORRY you're here...

Follow your intuition. Be smart, be brave. Tell the truth and dont take any shit.
I am so sorry. I am new to this too. Trust yourself!
Welcome to SI. The best club you don't want to belong to.
What does your MC say about this "friendship"? Can you afford a PI? You will get your "proof" if you need it that way.
He also wouldn't let me meet her after he agreed to it in therapy and went to a festival with her but told me he didn't want me to come because he "needs space".
I would assume he is having an affair, as you say, at least emotional. I would tell your husband that he has some choices to make. He will end this "friendship" with her, give up his password and give his phone to you immediately (so he can't clean it up) or he can have all the space he wants as he can move out asap as you will not put up with his dating any longer.
Now, you have to be ready for him to walk out the door if you give this ultimatum and he doesn't comply. You can do this confrontation in MC if you like. In MC I would also ask your husband how he would feel if you suddenly had a male friend that you were spending so much time with, wouldn't introduce him to your friend, kept your phone on lock down and wouldn't let him see the messages from your male friend and went on a date to a festival with this male friend?
Others will come along and have some advice. This is what I feel I would do if I were in this situation.
"Oh, why do my actions have consequences?" ~ Homer Simpson
"She knew my one weakness: That I'm weak!" ~ Homer Simpson
Hang in there and take he advice of the wonderful people here. It sucks but you can get through it!!!
Finally this is R 8/14/13
"Forgiving is a journey; the deeper the wound, the longer the journey".
I also suggest you read "Not Just Friends" by Dr. Shirley Glass. It outlines the progression of this slippery slope; maybe you can get your H to read it as well. I'd say this is an EA for sure, & you need to be prepared for even worse. The only way to cheat is to lie, so you absolutely cannot believe anything he says right now.
Find out if she's married. If so, gently share your concerns & get another pair of eyes working on this. The sneaking around & having secrets are addictive for him, so this needs to get blown up sooner rather than later. Lifting you up & sending you strength & hugs.
I didn't beat a confession out of my WH until the third confrontation. He gaslighted me with the "we're just friends" line, but I knew I was right. After the second confrontation, I spent time gathering rock-solid evidence. The third confrontation was not pretty.
I strongly recommend Leigh Richwood's book, What to Do When Your Spouse Cheats. It's full of good advice about collecting evidence and confronting.
My strongest recommendation for now is to see a lawyer. Know what your rights are before you confront, and especially before you leave your home (if it comes to that). Most lawyers give initial free consultations.
This is in addition to all the other good advice given above, with which I heartily concur.
D-Day: August 14, 2012
9 year LTA with former co-worker and family "friend"/7 years EA+PA, 2 more years EA
I would bet my next paycheck your husband is cheating. At this point it is definitely emotional infidelity, if it isn't physical yet, it will be soon.
I would stop accusing and pretend you believe everything he is telling you. Let him keep his "jogging" appointments with this person and pretend you're ok with it.
Then I'd beg, borrow or steal the money to hire a PI. It probably won't take him/her long to get the evidence you need. I'd make an appointment with every good divorce attorney and choose the one who you feel will do the best job for you. The reason you contact the others is so that they won't be able to represent your ex. Many will talk to you for free or for very little for the first time--take advantage of that. I would make copies of all important marital/family documents and keep them in a safe place with a trusted friend or in a safe deposit box. I would get a list of all of your assets and debts and make sure you know where all of your $$ is. I would get his name off of anything that is solely yours-(if you can--a lawyer can tell you what is legal to do--that's why you need to get in touch with one asap) I would also set up a bank account in only your name--even if it only has $100 in it and I would also apply for at least one credit card in your own name. Get copies of all of your joint credit card statements for the last year or for however long you suspect he has been "jogging."
No more crying or being down around him. Give him the impression that all is AOK. Get into therapy because you're going to need all the support you can get.
Then--when you have all your ducks in a row, when you have your evidence--sit him down and let him have it. Be calm and cool and in control. If you want to reconcile and you find that he does--get him to sign an agreement that sets out the conditions if he cheats again. Of course that agreement states that you get everything if that happens. If he balks at signing it--then you know he's not serious. If he intends to be faithful from that point on--he has nothing to fear.
There are many successfully reconciled couples here who tell you that their marriages have weathered the infidelity storm and are stronger because of it. If you want that and he does, and he will cooperate-great.
But--there are many of us here who also heard pleas of reconciliation from our wayward spouses which were nothing but more lies. Or--if not lies--they were just more promises that they couldn't keep. Hope for the best but ALWAYS plan for the worst. Protect yourself and know that you can live through this and keep your sanity, your integrity and your sense of self-worth. Don't let him take that away from you.
This is already long and I could say a LOT more because I was sitting exactly where you are. I didn't find SI until 2 months after I was divorced and then it was too late for me. Shoulda, woulda, coulda--don't let it happen to you.
Good Luck and PM me if you want. There is so much wonderful support here--I hope you are able to take advantage of the immense wisdom available from SI members--the biggest club of which NO ONE wants to be a member.
To this I would add-
Kill him with kindness.
And avail yourself of every stealth method of info gathering you can get your hands on.
I didn't keep the house clean enough, he was disappointed in me and the kids, I can't spend time with them together (she's too busy) but they found time to golf in the middle of flippen afternoon, and there is something wrong with ME, not them. It's the same playbook.
At the same time I want to scream out:
Feeling - I'm sorry you are in this position. But...
Put an end to it. You're his wife not some chick he met in a bar o Saturday night. It's time for you to get angry and put your foot down. The conversation goes like this:
"In the next 30 seconds you hand me your phone, unlocked. If not, pack your bags and get out.
And here are the rules..."
Then list them out. No contact. At all. Ever. No secret passcodes. Complete transparency.
Then you can end with, "Okay, Mr. Festival Date Night, are you in or are you out?"
No negotiation. Then be ready to show him the door.
Be ready for him to leave by understanding that, if he leaves, he was gone anyway.
If you continue to allow him to "think about it" or have it both ways then you get months (if not years) of getting dumped on.
It's not just you, Feeling. It's all of us betrayed spouses. We need to have the confidence to demand an end to the crappy behavior. To have the self-respect to NOT be treated this way. To let a spouse, still in affair, know that you will not tolerate a third wheel in the marriage.
It's not you. It's him. Be strong and tell him to get his shit together or get out.
Please. Be strong - for yourself and for your family.
It makes you uncomfortable and you are his wife. Your husband should NOT be making you feel that way. Period.
Don't allow him to do that to you. If you were doing something that made him upset (certainly to think that you might be having an affair) wouldn't you stop? Would you do that to him? Of course not!
Affair or not - he stops doing things that upset you. That's what people do when they love each other.
So sorry you're here. The important thing to remember is that it's him, not you. None of us is a perfect spouse, but imperfection does not warrant or justify cheating. And cheaters have to lie to themselves and to you to justify what they've done, so their view of the marriage is slanted. You really can't believe what they say - there are a lot of threads here detailing the fucked-up, ridiculous shit cheaters come up with. Hence the terms gas lighting and blame-shifting.
Always trust your gut. It's there for a reason. I hope you're wrong but I'm afraid you're not.

Always, tell the other BS! Always!
"It's hard to be in love when you can't tell lies"!
I don't have the money to hire a PI right now because the ones I'm finding are very expensive.
I'm working on ME right now and will probably hold off on some things until we're in MC. I think confronting him there will go better.
He also wouldn't let me meet her after he agreed to it in therapy and went to a festival with her but told me he didn't want me to come because he "needs space".
^^^Don't allow this. Even if you have to get in your car and follow him, do not let him get away with this. This is so disrespectful to you and hugely inappropriate.
You have every right to say, "Hell No" ~ use this right.
I too believe that he is engaged in or heading into an A. {{{Feelingsolost}}}
What would I do?
Get a voice activated recorder (or two) and strategically place them where he could get caught chatting...one in his car would be good.
He will continue to make you feel like you are crazy. You need concrete proof...they are usually never willing to spill the beans on their own.
Trust your gut and protect yourself.
I understand and am so sorry for your pain.
The truth hurts, but I have never seen it cause the pain that lies do.
I caution you about continuing MC. Read Not Just Friends. My SAWH, upon confrontating him with the name of the woman he was seeing, insisted they were just friends. And he did this in MC, too. He continued to do this for 2 weeks until I found more evidence that this had been going on for MUCH longer than I suspected.Even then, it has taken MONTHS to get answers to everything...and I am sure there is more to know. At the very least, your H's boundaries are for shit in that he is spending time with the person in question instead of working on the marriage. At the most, he's having an affair. Neither scenario is acceptable.
Time to 180. You can read about it in one of the posts in the healing library and I have also seen it before in a few of the posts for Newbies on here. The main purpose is to help YOU but sometimes a side benefit is that the WS takes notice that you aren't consumed with what they are doing like you might have been recently.
Good luck. Try to stay calm and centered and rational. Does the OW have a spouse? I might check in with that person at some point. IMO she is a conniving bitch who has put herself into a really bad position. Women are terrible to one another, aren't they? I would never, ever do that to someone, but I guess I am more secure than OW are. Funny how we find them so threatening. In reality, they are probably more threatened by us.

Guess what, i was spot on all along. I don;t know what changed but i just woke up one day and knew it wasn't me and kicked him out, he then confessed they had kissed.
After dd he still continued to lie and lied all through our mc minimising what had actually happened between them. So don't believe MC means he will be honest.
You can save your marriage if that is possible, but you need all the advice you can get up front. Read the healing library, get the evidence to need so when you confront him he can't lie his way out of it.
He is certainly having an emotional affair and probably a physical affair. His is justifying his behavior to himself by attacing you, saying he is unhappy, that you don't do this or that. That is all affair BS. An affair had NOTING to do with you and everthing to do with him.
You are in a position of strength right now. He is just having a fun fantasy but does not want to blow his life apart. Even though you can't afford a PI you can install a VAR in his car. They spend a lot of time on their phone with the AP in the car because it is private.
You can also install a key-logger on the PC.
Just remember that neediness and weakness will only drive them further into their fantasy. Put your bitch boots on, get tough, and snap him out of the fog.
Hugs and good luck and keep posting. K

Latest News
Investment in poor women, and good health, pays off
Don Cayo, Vancouver SunPublished: Tuesday, March 08, 2011
Give a poor woman a fish and odds are that, just like the man in the adage, she'll eat it -though she's also likely to share it with her family. But give her a loan, even a very small one, and she's apt to open a seafood restaurant. Or a cellphone kiosk. Or a market garden. Or ....
This economic reality -not just a donor's instinct to try to redress a gross imbalance of wealth and power -explains why women are the focus of so much international development work today. Simply put, they most often turn out to be a better investment than men.
This is not to say poor women are all inherent entrepreneurs. But a characteristic shared by the poor the world over is that they do work hard, very hard, in pursuit of what few opportunities come their way. And this willingness to work, plus the greater tendency of women to share with and spend on their families, also colours many other aspects of development.
For example, if you want to improve the quality of life in a really poor part of the world, few things will pay a better dividend over the medium or long term than educating girls, who, in virtually all developing countries, are certain to get far fewer learning opportunities than their brothers.
Not only is a society sorely handicapped in its efforts to progress when half of its potential workforce is marginalized, but, once again, women around the world have demonstrated that, when they get a little economic clout, they direct it toward more practical priorities.
Investments in health have the same potential for a big payoff.
Keith Martin, a Victoria doctor with deep roots in international development who is winding down his 18-year political career as first a Reform MP and now a Liberal MP for Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca, notes that every dollar spent on primary care reduces health costs by $4 and social costs by $30. If this issue were given proper priority, it would save 340,000 pregnant women and 8.8 million children who perish annually, he says.
Yet, Martin points out, the pledge to reduce maternal mortality by 75 per cent and to achieve universal access to reproductive health services by 2015 is the most neglected of the United Nations' Millennium Development Goals (MDG).
"This is the most important one," he says. "It can positively influence all the other goals, from poverty reduction, access to education, child health, and much more. No other MDG has this power."
All of which should resonate with Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who has set himself up as a champion of the maternal-health cause among the G8 leaders.
However, Harper's actions on this file have been, to put it as kindly as I can, contradictory. His government has frozen spending on international development -effectively setting it on a downward spiral that will take it from 0.33 per cent of GDP (less than half of Canada's decades-old target) to 0.28 per cent by 2014. It has dropped many exceedingly needy African countries from Canada's priority list in favour of middle-income Latin American ones that are being courted as trade partners. And it has eliminated funding for some respected NGOs that have been highly effective partners with CIDA in addressing these issues.

4. [Smush Parker is] the worst. He shouldn't have been in the NBA but we were too cheap to pay for a point guard. So we let him walk on." – 2012 OC Register article reflecting on the 2005-06 season.
Now, I don't particularly care for Kobe's shots at Smush Parker, as he is Smush and Kobe is Kobe Bryant. But that doesn't mean he doesn't have a point. The Lakers essentially wasted a few of Kobe's most dominant seasons when he was paired with the likes of Kwame Brown, Smush, Chris Mihm, and Slava Medvedenko. If the Lakers had been able to pair their superstar shooting guard with at least one other top tier player, the Lakers likely could have at least made another Western Conference finals or two. But it was pretty clear that Smush was not an NBA level player. After playing all 82 games for the Lakers in 2005-06 and 2006-07, Smush went on to only appear in 28 more NBA games over the next two seasons.

I'm curious as to how this could be used in a malicious manner, as opposed to
just being an annoyance. I mean, god forbid, people should execute arbitrary

nothing seriously harmful about this, am I right? Please correct me if I'm
You are completely wrong.
Please go through the full text of the CERT advisory, and the info
in the Apache and (in particular) Microsoft web sites.
This is a problem because it breaks some of the sites specific barriers.
A very simple example is that this could be used to steal someone's cookie,
which may be what is used to authenticate them.
The problem is a very broad one, however, with a huge number of specific
instances, most of which have probably not been discovered. It also
goes beyond just javascript, since javascript is not necessary to
exploit this in certain ways.
Again, this is not a javascript problem. This is also not just the same
old "if user B submits something to a site that is then shown to
user A, you have to filter or encode it" problem. This is "if user
A submits something to a site that is sent back unfiltered and unencoded
to user A, then you have a security problem". Yes, this is a new
issue. Well, the components of it are (mostly) nothing new, but putting
them together is.
Also note that filtering or encoding things is not as easy as you may
think. There are far too many very annoying things, including characterset
issues and browser specific extensions.
- From my brief survey last week, most of the top commerce sites are
vulnerable to some degree (if it can be exploited to any dangerous effect,
however, is another issue) and most webserver products are vulnerable
themselves; Apache's vulnerabilities are among the less serious compared
to a number of other products. Even some products where the vendor has
released a statement saying "no problems" have obvious problems. Don't
start thinking this is just a vendor problem though; the real issue with
this problem is that fixing it requires a site fix all their locally
created dynamic content.
