During my 16 months here I have had the opportunity to meet a perfectly ordinary young man. Hans Costorp is from Hamburg, Germany and was visiting a friend here for a few weeks and was due to start a career as a nautical engineer at a venerable firm that was founded by his great great grandfather in 1810. He has been here seven years now. One Hans Costorp, our dependable hero. Here for good. Our hero had long since lost track of where else he might go, and who was no longer even capable of forming the thought of a return to the mainland.
The thing I am most grateful for about living 16 months at a retreat center in the jungle of Hawaii, under what can only be construed as simple and rustic circumstance, is the free time one has to think about things. Sometimes, when the power goes out for an extended period, that is all you have. For days on end.
And a yoga retreat/campus center to boot. Since yoga is derived from Hinduism and Buddhism, I have learned some of the tenets of yoga. One is an empty mind. Yes, the goal is to have no mind. Siddhartha Gautama, also known as the Buddha, described the mind as a drunken monkey bitten by a scorpion tied up in a hemp bag. Memories from long ago, shots of memories from 5 seconds ago. Angst about the future. Worries about what you don't have, what you haven't done, what you might lose if….all swirling around in a blob of evanescent organic matter called your mind. Everything you are is created right in there.

Everything you are is created right in there.
Accomplished yogis spend a lifetime getting to this point because monkey mind never goes away, it is just kept at bay. I have kinda pondered if having no mind is really a good thing. Most of those yogis end up as renunciates on a mountain top, poverty stricken and blithely naked. And I must I assume blissfully happy and free. They have seen through the illusion and arrived at the nature of true existence, absolute reality. They are finally home. Nirvana.
I haven't had much luck with losing my mind because of the time investment involved. I would rather do other things with that time, like listen to someone tell a story for half an hour. Even if it is sophistry, it is at the very least a peaceful, enjoyable diversion intruded into linear time.
I first met Hans Costorp at the upper smoker's tent when he explained his views on smoking. They were so unique that I sat up in my chair, hearing snippets of a conversation that warranted my attention, welcoming the possibility of a new source of entertainment.
"I don't understand how someone cannot be a smoker-why it's like robbing oneself of the best part of life, so to speak, or at least an absolutely first-rate pleasure. When I wake up I look forward to being able to smoke all day, and when I eat I look forward to it again, in fact I can honestly say that I actually only eat so that I can smoke, although that is an exaggeration of course. But a day without tobacco-that would be absolutely insipid, a dull totally wasted day. And if some morning I had to tell myself: there is nothing left to smoke today, why I don't think I'd find the courage to get up, I swear I'd stay in bed. It is the same as when you're lying on a beach, you don't need anything else."
Hans Costorp had originally intended to stay here three weeks. He was a patient man by nature who could spend long hours doing nothing in particular and loved his leisure time, with no work, no other amusements, no numbing activity to demolish, banish or overwhelm it.

" I love and honor sleep. I venerate its deep, sweet refreshing bliss. Sleep must be counted among the and how did you put it most kind sir ? Among the classic gifts of life, among its first, its primal? "
Hans Castorp referred to this way of life as "the horizontal form of existence".
"And for the modern workingman, the thought of eternal rest after having exhausted one's energies in labor was not all that terrible."
"Actually, I only feel really healthy when I am doing nothing at all."
Hans Costorp spoke often of life as illusion. The scholastics in the Middle Ages claimed to know that time is an illusion, its flow toward objective consequences due solely to our sensory apparatus, and that the true state of things is a permanent now.
And what was Ted to think of this term 'illusion'- a state in which elements of dream and reality were blended in a way that was perhaps less foreign to nature than to our crude everyday thoughts? The secret of life was literally bottomless, and it was no wonder that occasionally there rose up out of it illusions that...and so on and so forth, were presented in our hero's accented, amiably self-effacing and exceedingly easy manner.
How did Ted actually feel about all this? For instance, did the 16 months he had demonstrably, indubitably spent with people like Hans Costorp feel like a mere 16 days? Or did it seem to him just the opposite, that he had lived here now much, much longer than he really had? He had asked himself those same questions, both privately of himself and formally of others, but could not come to any decision. Probably both were true: looking back, the time he had spent here thus far seemed unnaturally brief and at the same time unnaturally long. A month here is, so to speak, the shortest unit of time, and a single month played no role at all. Real time knows no turning points, there are no thunderstorms or trumpet fanfares at the start of a new month or year, and even when a new century commences only we humans fire cannon and ring bells.
We've been here together for so long now-16 months. If you stop to count, which isn't all that much by our standards here, but when viewed from the mainland, now that I think back on it, it's quite a long time. Well, and so we've spent it here with one another, because life has brought us together here, have seen one another almost every day and had interesting conversations, some on subjects I would not have understood anything about on the mainland. But I certainly have here-they were very important and relevant, so whenever Hans Costorp discussed something I paid strict attention.
Hans Costorp rolled his first one paper cigarette of the day and mulled:
"I will not attempt to gloss over the specific forms of life's natural cruelty takes in your society, Ted. What was the term you used most kind sir...detached? Fine, but what does that really mean? That means hard, cold. And what does hard and cold mean? It means cruel. The air in the mainland is cruel, ruthless. And within a year here, at the most, one will never be able to take hold of any other sort of life, but will find any other life cruel-or better, flawed and ignorant. You have to have lived here to know how things really are."

And within a year here, at the most, one will never be able to take hold of any other sort of life, but will find any other life cruel-or better, flawed and ignorant. You have to have lived here to know how things really are."
"As if I was some innocent from the old country, an average fellow who strolls about, laughing about, stuffing his belly, and earning money-a model pupil of life, who could conceive of nothing except the boring advantages of respectability?
"On the whole, however, it seemed to me that although honor has its advantages, so, too, did disgrace, and that indeed the advantages of the latter were almost boundless. The feeling of being a schoolboy no longer in the running and enjoying the advantages of disgrace."
One fine morning, I nursed my 36 oz. Thermos full of Kona blend coffee, sweetened with agave syrup and heavy whipping cream at the Kalani Smokers tent. It was a day like all the others in Hawaii, the same, but different. They say if you don't like the weather on the Big Island, wait 10 minutes. Still, it was, as Thomas Mann phrased it, a primal monotony.
Hans Costorp expertly lit his cigarette and then, quite unexpectedly, Hans Costorp had a brilliant insight into what time actually is: a silent sister, for the purpose of keeping people from cheating.
"I've always found it odd, still do, you see how time seems to go slowly in a strange place at first. What I mean is, of course there's no question of my being bored here, quite the contrary, I can assure you that I'm amusing myself quite royally. But when I look back, retrospectively as it were, you know what I mean, it seems as if I've been here for who knows how long already and it's been an eternity since I first arrived. It has absolutely nothing to do with reason or measurement of time-it's purely a matter of time. This place is populated almost exclusively by unsettled folk who have found their way here from all over the world and had returned now for good and for the horizontal form of existence. Space, like time, gives birth to forgetfulness, but does so by removing an individual from all relationships and placing him in a free and pristine state. One could in fact forget completely just where one is. You wouldn't believe how fast and loose they play with people's time around here. One month is the same as a day to them. There is nothing 'actual' about time. If it seems long to you, then it is long, and if it seems to pass quickly, then it is short. But how long or how short it is in actuality, no one knows."
The ash blew off Hans Costorp's hand rolled cigarette and he continued:
"The main thing is that the seasons here are not all that different from one another, you see. They get all mixed up, so to speak, so there is no need to pay attention to the calendar, no need to know what the actual date is. I have never once glanced at a newspaper since I've been here."
Hans Costorp now seriously no longer knew how old he was.
"Bernard of Clairvaux, for instance, teaches about a ladder of perfection unlike anything I have ever conceived in my wildest dreams. His lowest rung of the ladder is found at the 'treadmill, the second in the plowed field and the third and most praiseworthy, however, ...now don't listen to this part, was a bed of rest. Lao-tzu teaches that doing nothing is more beneficial than anything between heaven and earth, that if humankind were to stop all activity, perfect peace and happiness would reign on earth. It seems to me that the spiritual possibility of finding salvation in repose, contemplation, retreat, sounds quite plausible. One could say that we live at a rather high level of retreat here. On a live volcano in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, we recline and look at the world and its creatures and think things over. To tell the truth, now that I think about it, my bed has proved very beneficial over the past seven years, made me think more about things than I ever did in all my years on the mainland, I can't deny that."
Hans Costorp exhaled and returned to his favorite topic:
Hans Costorp exhaled and returned to his favorite topic:
"And judging from that, it appears that under these confusing conditions, man in his helplessness tends to experience time in a greatly diminished form rather than overestimate it. What people call boredom is actually an abnormal compression of time caused by monotony: uninterrupted uniformity that can shrink large spaces of time until the heart falters, and one is terrified to death. It is always the same day, it just keeps repeating itself. Although it is always the same day, it is surely not correct to speak of 'repetition'. The tenses of verbs become confused, they blend and what is now revealed to you is the true tense of all existence, the inelastic present."
Hans Costorp lived each day as it came-each normal day, its established sameness divided into little segments, neither diverting nor boring, and always the same. Two more habitués quietly slipped into their usual seats, pulling out their pouches of American Spirit organic tobacco and rolling papers, sealed away in Wall-Mart Tupperware containers. Joseph mentioned that he had 15 minutes to kill until he had to report to work at 2:30. Smokers are never worried about late trains. There is always something to do.
Hans Costorp let meander through his mind the idea of Joseph with 15 minutes with nothing to do.
Hans Costorp let meander through his mind the idea of Joseph with 15 minutes with nothing to do.
"Joseph, you have to be at work at 2:30, but it is not quite two-thirty, perhaps; to be precise it is more like quarter past. But such extra quarter hours left over from nice, round whole ones don't really count, they are simply swallowed up along the way-at least that is what happens whenever time is managed on a grand scale, on long journeys, for instance, on plane rides that last for hours, or in similar situations when life is emptiness and waiting and all activity is reduced to whiling time away and putting it behind you. A quarter past two-that's as good as half past; and half past two is the same as half till three, for heaven's sake."
"Time-not the sort that airport clocks measure with digital bursts of energy every nano-second, but more like the time of a very small watch whose hands move without our being able to notice or the time grass keeps as it grows without our eyes' catching its secret growth, until the day comes when the fact is undeniable- time, a line composed of elastic turning points, time, that had continued to bring forth changes in its furtive, unobservable, secret, and yet bustling way."
"But the measuring and counting of time is what binds you here, Joseph. Your personal, individual time-that is for newcomers and short timers; we established residents reserve our praise for unmeasured time and unheeded eternity, for the day that is always the same."
"Things here, my good man Joseph, Hans Costorp continued, with a forced smile, are different from what is usual elsewhere. The spirit of the place, if I may put it that way, is not a conventional one. There was no defend yourself here, no responsibility, and no tribunal of priests judging some of us who have forgotten our honor, lost it somehow. It is depravity with the best of consciences, the idealized apotheosis of a total refusal to obey Western demands for an active life. The only reason we are all still sitting here now is so that we never have to return."
That being, after all, as for so many people here, the point of Hans Costorp's personal sojourn.
He was used to it and was grateful for the opportunity that this local style of life, which for him had long since become the only conceivable style, had provided him to be here safe and secure and think things through.
As the trade winds, the reputed cleanest air in the world, now slightly tainted by sulfuric dioxide from the lava flow creeping seven miles away, picked up through the banana trees, I wondered how can this roundtable could help principled real world people understand the changes taking place in our young adventurer's perceptions? The scope of dizzying equations grew. Where previously, by yielding just slightly, Hans Costorp had not found it easy to separate the 'now' of today from that of yesterday, or the day before yesterday, or the day before that, when all were alike, like peas in a pod.
If fact, Hans Costorp's family back in Germany had become quite concerned about what appeared to them as his disintegrating state of mind. What had begun as a three week vacation in Hawaii had morphed into a seven year renunciation. He was fast becoming the first Costorp since 1810 not to join the family's prestigious engineering firm. There recently had been a death in the family and Hans Costorp was nonchalant. The death of a relative, with whom he had minimal contact at the best of times, did not concern Hans Costorp; because he knew death is an illusion, and thus so, an envoy was dispatched from Hamburg to Puna to see what was what.
It was strange suddenly to have sitting beside Hans Costorp, a representative and ambassador from his home, the scent of an old, vanished, earlier life, of another world that lay so far away. Any sense of kinship, of any family relationship, had dwindled imperceptibly until such people were almost strangers to our hero.
Hans Costorp and this envoy, actually a favorite uncle, did not talk about home, they said nothing about personal, business or civic matters. And that was the end of the attempt by the mainland to reclaim Hans Costorp. This acting patriarch/envoy admitted quite openly to us that such total failure, which he had seen coming, was of decisive importance for Hans Costorp's relationship to to his people back home. For the family in Hamburg, it meant a final shrug, a total abandonment of any claim to his old life. For Hans Costorp, however, it meant freedom finally won.
The death of this distant family member, which would never have been of great emotional consequence to the indifferent Hans Costorp, and indeed after an estrangement of so many adventurous little years, all emotional content had been reduced to almost nothing-seemed to him nevertheless, very like the breaking of yet another tie, a last connection, to the world beyond, bringing to perfection what he so rightly called his freedom. In truth, in the recent past of which we speak, there had been a total abrogation of every emotional bond between him and the mainland. He wrote and received no letters.
"I never write letters. To whom, really? To whom should I be writing letters? I have no feelings whatsoever for the old world anymore. I've lost that somehow."
"In fact, our dying is more a concern to those who survive us than to ourselves; for as a wise man once cleverly put it, as long as we are, death is not and when death is, we are not; and even if we are unfamiliar with that adage, it retains its psychological validity. Welcome from the darkness and return to the darkness with some experiences in between. But we don't experience the beginning and the end, birth and death. We are not subjectively aware of them, they exist only in the world of objective events and that most kind sirs, is that."
"We evaporate, so to speak. Just think of all that water; all those water atoms as an energy laden cosmic system. All the other ingredients are not very stable without life. Decomposition takes over, and they resolve into simpler compounds, into inorganic matter. Life is dying, there's no sense in trying to sugarcoat it."
The time had come for the morning habitues to go do nothing somewhere else and as the gang packed up their Wall-Mart Tupperware containers of tobacco……Hans Costorp ruminated:
"The diaries of opium eaters record how, during the brief period of ecstasy, the drugged person's dreams have a temporal scope of ten, thirty sometimes sixty years or even surpass all limits of man's ability to experience time, dreams, that is, whose imaginary time span vastly exceeds their actual duration and which are characterized by an incredible diminishment of the experience of time, with images thronging past so swiftly that, as one hashish smoker puts it, the intoxicated user's brain seems to have had something removed, like the mainspring from a broken watch. I have been here for years now, that much is certain, a dizzying stay, an addict's dream, but without opium or hashish."
"But since time immemorial, the human striving for feeling has in fact had one means at its hand, one drug, one intoxicant that belongs to the classic gifts of life and bears the stamp of the simple and holy, and thus is no vice, one means of stature, if I may put it that way. Wine. The gods' gift to man, as the humanistic peoples of antiquity claimed, the philanthropic invention of a god who is in fact associated with civilization, if I may be permitted the allusion."
Although Hans Costorp was extremely fluent in English, his accented and peculiar form of the mother tongue sometimes lost us as he meandered from heavy topic to heavy topic:
"Conscious emotion, with the abstruse oddities of hypnotism and somnambulism, the phenomena of telepathy, prophetic dreams and second sight, the wonders of hysteria..."
"These human minds were disgusted by the idea of wealth increasing automatically and placed all speculation and transactions involving interest under the rubric of usury, making every rich man either a thief or the heir of a thief. They considered the peasant and the craftsman honorable people, but not the merchant or the investment banker. They wanted the goods to be produced on need and loathed the idea of mass production. The idea of cities is historically associated with a most inhuman degeneration of economic morality, with the many horrors of modern marketeering and speculation, with the satanic rule of money, with commerce."
As he discussed these topics, philosophic horizons expanded until suddenly we, his capable audience, beheld great riddles shimmering before our eyes. Riddles about the relationship between matter and the psyche, indeed the very riddle of life itself, which, so it appeared, might be more easily approached along these uncanny paths, the path of illusion and the path of thinking things through.
"God and nature were both unjust, they had their favorites, chose to be gracious at random, and adorned one man with precarious honors and the next day with an easy, but ordinary fate."
Alas, I sit here now so I can be alone to consider Hans Costorp. To think back over the past 16 months with all their many and varied impressions and adventures, which were not easy to sort out, because they seemed interlaced, blending in to one another until palpable reality was often no longer distinguishable from what had merely been thought, dreamed, or imagined. But adventures they have been.
Thanks for stopping by
In all fairness to the now deceased Thomas Mann, his 1924 book "The Magic Mountain" was plagiarized, embellished, changed, re-arranged, modernized and generally fucked around with to create this Ted-ism. Read About The Magic Mountain Here In all fairness to the now married Amanda A. I never would have even heard of Thomas Mann..oh wait, "Death in Venice" comes to mind, one of those required English 201 books I never got around to, had she not sent me Magic Mountain and said "I just had to read it". Mahalo to you both.

California Town Lights Up Controversy by Banning Smoking in Homes [POLL]
San Rafael, California isn't blowing smoke – it has prohibited people from smoking in their own homes.
More specifically, anyone who lives in a residence that shares a wall with another home can't smoke. That means people shacking up in an apartment, condo, co-op or any type of multi-family unit with at least three residences are banned from smoking on the premises.
A town official said it may be the strictest non-smoking policy in the country:
I'm not aware of any ordinance that's stronger….It doesn't matter if it's owner-occupied or renter-occupied. We didn't want to discriminate. The distinguishing feature is the shared wall."
The official also said no one really opposed the new law.
This is the latest instance of local government cracking down on tobacco. New York City made headlines by raising the legal age to buy tobacco to 21.

i got summons for a pretrail tomorrow morning.This will be the first time ive done anything to this sort and need a little advice on what to say and do. portfolio recovery bought my debt from GEMB in may of 2013. my debt is $2994.19. im not looking to pay the debt back yet and seeing what my options are.We have started the process of bankruptcy but still debating if that is the best route to go. any advice would be greatly appreciated or if you guys need any more info please let me know!
i got a few pages of docs in the summons letter. of when they bought my debt and what i owe before and after.
The Pre-Trial is tomorrow morning?!?!? I don't know how many times I can post this on Avvo before folks start heeding my words. DO NOT GO TO THAT PRE-TRIAL CONFERENCE WITHOUT A LAWYER. BUT IF YOU MUST GO WITHOUT A LAWYER, DO NOT SAY ANYTHING TO ANYBODY OTHER THAN TO TELL THE JUDGE THE FOLLOWING: "Your Honor, may I please have this PTC reset in 10 to 14 days to allow me time to hire a lawyer?" If the judge asks you ANYTHING, including but not limited to "do you owe this debt?", do NOT say ANYTHING other than: "Your Honor, on the advice of counsel I must respectfully decline to respond to your question." Be firm. Don't be intimidated. Then, after you leave court (or today), immediately begin searching for a lawyer to assist you. Try looking at www.NACA.net under the "Find An Attorney" tab. Please do NOT be sweet-talked into settling this case tomorrow by the Portfolio Recovery attorney.
The joint Pre-Trial Conference and Mediation is a creature of Summary Claims. It only exists in Summary Claims matters to my knowledge and it is designed to move uncontested cases off the County Court Judges calendar in as expedient a manner possible. Obviously I agree which both attorneys who have already offered you sound advise IF YOU intend to follow through and consult with an attorney. If you do not ask for a continuance AND you dispute that you owe the debt, you will not be sent to the Mediator, the case will be set for a trial and if you intend to hire an attorney you need to tell the Court and ask for trial to be set out far enough to find an attorney and give him time to prepare. If you do not intend to hire an attorney and admit you owe the debt, then you will be sent immediately to a Mediator who will generally mediate some type of short repayment plan. As with any Mediation, it is still voluntary in the since that you do not have to agree to anything in which case it will be returned to the Judge to be set for trial.
I agree with Attorney Castagliuolo's advice. Follow it exactly.

My advice is to not make any decisions right now. Find a CSAT, have him evaluated. Get yourself to a CSAT and an SANON meeting. Educate yourself about SA. Re-evaluate yourself, your marriage in six months, a year.
And please, get tested for STDs. Too often, we are lied to by our SA husbands and don't find out the extent of their acting out until much later in the discovery process. It sets our healing back.
Your H should also get himself to an SA meeting on a regular basis. That is what scared my SA husband straight.
This is an awful, horrible place for anyone to be. The sisterhood that this site can be is priceless. But you need RL support. It is so hard to tell friends and family about this. It's not "regular" infidelity. Find someone to whom you can talk.
Its looking highly like if my WH isn't a full on SA he has a great deal of the tendencies of one as well as some extreme impulse control issues and some OCD.
We are trying to reconcile, the last week he has really "gotten it" and started doing everything he should have from day 1. I broached the SA topic, which greatly offended him at first but when we came around he admitted he thinks he has a lot of the tendencies of one and agreed to talk with his IC more about it this week after doing some research himself.
My question to all of you if is it possible for a SAWH to recover and to have a healthy marriage? I know the internet and books have told me it is but what about actual experiences from people living it in real life? What is a realistic recovery plan to outline?
My question to all of you if is it possible for a SAWH to recover and to have a healthy marriage? I know the internet and books have told me it is but what about actual experiences from people living it in real life? What is a realistic recovery plan to outline?
Because your husband is 10 years older than you, and you are very young, he has more than a 10 year headstart on you in terms of this disease--if he is a SA. That's problematic because sex addiction gets worse over time without treatment. If he is a sex addict, I just want to be honest and say that there is very little likelihood that the cheating doesn't involve physical acting out of some sort and in an untreated 35 year old who has told you that there are things he has done that you would divorce him for, it very likely involves sexual encounters with other people--at least on some level.
EDIT: I should mention he hasn't taken anything fully PA
yet but its getting worse, and from what I understand if its not gotten under control it WILL go further than just porn and EAs.
Just my situation doesn't seem near as bad as many of those here, I am so sorry for us all though.
I just want to say that your advantage is not that your husband is not as sick as anyone in this thread--it's that you are very young and you don't have children with him. You need to be in IC. You need to find out why you want to be in this relationship, despite the cheating. You just cannot know what his predilictions or his fetishes or his acting out behaviors are. PLEASE do not assume that he is better than anyone else's H here. You may find out in the most dangerous or painful ways possible that you are wrong.
I will tell you the story I never hear---
"I thought my husband had sex addict tendencies and was using porn a lot and having emotional affairs. Turns out, we nipped all of that acting out in the bud and are happy now." In my 6 years of being in online communities that support spouses who have been betrayed I have NEVER seen a wife who was able to pull her husband back from the brink. What I have seen are lots of wives who don't know how far over the cliff their husbands are; wives who are a bit smug because while other spouses are dealing with prostitutes or STDs or thousands of dollars blown, they know their husbands aren't that messed up---until they know better.
The typical trajectory I have seen after initial suspicions that H is a SA is this:
-My H is cheating emotionally or using porn. Should this be a dealbreaker? We don't have kids.
-Everyone says yes, it's cheating and whether it is a dealbreaker is up to the OP.
-OP comes back. Now there is fetish porn or cam girls or a credit card or a phone or SOMETHING that she didn't realize initially.
-Everyone sympathises.
-OP is going crazy trying to find proof of cheating.
-OP's H starts being surly and nasty.
-OP finds proof of cheating---but it was "just" a strip club or a handjob or a massage.
-Everyone warns OP that the H likely has a higher body count.
-OP's husband is soooooooooo sorry and totally open to change. But he doesn't want to be snooped on or he won't go to SAA or he goes to IC but then stops.
-OP is devastated.
-OP's H confesses that he did have intercourse with someone and is going to change.
-OP wants to start MC immediately.
-Followed by cycles of TT and heartache.
I'm not saying this will be your story but it is a common story. It is THE common story. In all the years I have been online, I've only seen two people, one being SK, who seemed like they were really at peace with their marriages to their SAs. The other woman I know of had multiple special needs kids with her SAH. She isn't going anywhere with a set of autistic triplets and so I can see where her 'peace' comes from.
Please get an STD test, get into IC and don't get dragged down the rabbit hole of this diagnosis to the extent that you learn more about his disease than your recovery. You are young and you have a lot of potential for happiness. Your husband has a taste for very young women. He is a sex addict. These are profoundly disturbing things and please don't consider yourself immune to all of the revelations we have dealt with here.
[This message edited by determinata at 4:31 AM, August 7th (Thursday)]
6 years of TT, hidden STD & false R
Separated 5 mos+; he will not commit
Someday I will be okay
I believed him and felt the other spouses were jaded and bitter. Turns out they were trying to save me some heartache. My SAH still hates that I consider him a liar just because he lies to me...
We finally have disclosure with a lie detector test coming up the end of the month. I'm terrified - but can it really be any worse than what I already know?
Yes, it can. Scrawled in the margin of a pre-owned SA workbook I bought for my husband was "sex with roadkill." I'd like to think it was a sick joke. We buy only new ones, now.
I'm ready to get disclosure and all that behind us. Maybe I can begin to heal. Maybe, just maybe, we'll stay married and it won't be horrible. I know the odds are not in our favor.
I told my shrink yesterday I feel cursed. She said she hears that a lot. I love her.
[This message edited by scaredyKat at 8:38 PM, August 7th (Thursday)]
Just big, big hugs. And thanks for being so forthcoming with your shares.
[This message edited by determinata at 8:21 AM, August 8th (Friday)]
My fingers crossed for you that you receive no nasty surprises but regardless you will get through this.
I think a lot of us in this boat look up to you because you seem to have it together and I slightly forget that you are in the same crap yacht that we all are.
I second this. (((scaredyKat))) (((everyone here)))
I'm out. Done. Finito. He's not even pretending to try anymore. The SA texting group? BS - several of the numbers are linked to females on facebook. He spent the night last weekend with a "friend" from out of town.
My new mantra? It is his job to prove accountability, not mine to look for it. I've seen all I needed to see.
He may think he's going to be sucking me in with his helplessness in addiction and blah, blah, blah. But I am sick and done.
I kind of wish I could call these other women (it appears at least two are single moms) and tell them what he is. No one should be used like this. But I'm afraid I'm not strong enough to deal with it if they react badly. Or tell him. Ugh.
D-Day: Too many in 17 years of marriage. LAST time 10/17/2013.
I really want to throttle him on your behalf
Thanks, my friend. Your reaction isn't unique. He wants to throttle himself, too. One of the most validating moments of all of this, was during a joint counseling session when that whole event was discussed. My SAFWH'S CSAT was the one who used those very words, "disrespectful" and "devastating." He hadn't been denying it, but to hear it from another person, someone who was ostensibly on his team, was like someone had thrown me a lifeline.
He IS remorseful and so regretful that he wasted so much of my life. Que sera sera, I suppose.
Gently... I know it is dismaying and frustrating but he's an active sex addict so him getting his fix as soon as he can is par for the course. It's not okay but you need to understand that until he gets help, gets sober and has a lot of sobriety behind him, what just happened is going to keep on happening. He has no coping skills and his brain chemistry is effed up through years of using sex as a high.
You placed a VAR to catch him contacting OW. So strategically, what do you care more about-- confronting him about masturbating or ensuring he's not contacting his AP? Because once you confront him about the masturbation, he will know that you are surveilling him, obviously.
What have you all agreed to about masturbation--
That he won't do it? Or if he does it he will disclose it as a 'slip'? Or what?
I'm not surprised at all. This is typical addict behavior:
Wife "makes me" mad / sad / hurt because she is holding me accountable for my behaviors, tug on my penis. Rinse and repeat. He's been watching pornography since age 3; was in bed with his step dad when his step father was having sex with a prostitute at the same age; began masturbating to cope with feelings since about the age of 10. This is pretty hardwired.
And luckily, since we are not living together, it doesn't affect me very much. It's unfortunate that he did it but it's his problem.
Hugs to you, and give that precious baby a smooch!
"Sex with roadkill"
One of the great things about the women in my SANON group is their sense of humor. Gallows humor, all too often, nonetheless, so necessary.
I am sorry he isn't ready to change. We are here are you figure out your next steps.
My new mantra? It is his job to prove accountability, not mine to look for it.
Question is do I confront him about it?
{{{{ SA-Spouses }}}}
I also did something I'm not sure I should have I text the OW telling her to expect him calling and warning her of his problem as even though she took part in our downfall it was his addiction that is the real problem and she has a toddler. She replied apologising profusely and thanking me and saying she hopes I'll be ok. Whether he's with her or not doesn't matter now I can't change that I just need tips on how to keep going when all I want to do is curl up and die. :(
Don't feel bad about hating him from time to time. It's only natural and it's healthy so long as you don't let it take over. You might not feel it right now, but your anger is out there and it'll help dry your tears and stiffen your spine when you need it. The sorrow and sympathy are natural too, you've loved this man a long time. Fear, grief, rage; there's no rule book for how you're supposed to feel right now. Cut yourself a mile of slack and get through it an hour at a time. It gets better.

Congratulations Sir Mick Nades!
Institute of Business Studies Chairman, Mr Mick Nades, The Honorary Consulate for Belgium in PNG since 1994, has been installed the Order of Leopold, the highest knighthood from Belgium.
Nades was bestowed the honour by Belgian Ambassador to PNG, Jean-Luc Bodson at a reception on Wednesday.
"The reason for this is that Nades has been the honorary consul of Belgium for 20 years," Bodson said, "He has done this with zeal and enthusiasm. He has served bilateral relations between Belgium and Papua New Guinea in a wonderful way.
"His service has received the attention of our King and he has received this decoration."
Nades of Sri Lankan heritage but now a PNG citizen, was overwhelmed by the honour.
The King and the Government have now recognised my long service to the Belgian state and the people, and have decided to give me the highest award," Nades said.
The Order of Leopold, the highest order of Belgian and named in honour of former King Leopold, can only be granted by the current king – King Phillippe in this case – and is reserved for the most important Belgian nationals or distinguished foreign persons.
Nades has contributed to educational development especially in Port Moresby and Enga where there are IBS campuses.
Before that he worked in the private sector as an accountant and did his share of contributing to the development of the nation through his work obligations.
Nades has been instrumental in the development of cricket in PNG over the past 10 years.
NCDC gives K50,000 to IBS School Debate 2014

The IBS School Debate was a brainchild of the Institute of Business Studies and was started in 2009 to develop the young talented speakers of Papua New Guinea, thus it was themed – developing young leaders of our nation.
Ms Rose Gerari, the IBS School Debate Competition Coordinator, on receipt of the cheque from the Governor, Hon. Powes Parkop, thanked the NCDCfor their continuous support saying it goes a long way in helping the cause in educating and giving an opportunity to the young talented Papua New Guineans out there who will partake in this year's IBS School Debate Competition.
"I take this opportunity to thank the National Capital District for continuing to support us steadfastly as a major sponsor for this competition," she said.
Since its Inception in 2009, the IBSDC has prided itself as a vehicle that brings young people together around the country to represent their schools and respective provinces and deliberate on the many issues faced today.
"Over the last five years, we have witnessed vibrant young students developing their confidence, public speaking and character building through this competition that strives to develop young leaders of this nation. This year will be the 6th year with the inclusion of the Melanesian School of Debate," Ms Gerari said.

DALLAS (105.3 THE FAN) – The sports world exploded when NFL sportscaster Jim Nantz made comments about the Dallas Cowboys' interest in Johnny Manziel.
On a radio appearance in Cleveland, Nantz said he has heard rumors for a month that Dallas "will figure out a way to get Manziel."
Nantz joined New School with Shan & RJ on 105.3 The Fan Tuesday to clarify.
"Rumor — the fact that everybody interpreted that little chat I had on a radio station in Cleveland, and took it to the level they did, is just astonishing to me," said Nantz.
Headlines have surfaced across the internet, suggesting that Nantz has intimate knowledge of the Cowboys' draft plans. He says that's simply not true.
"I didn't say I have a scoop…I said I heard rumors for a month," said Nantz, who was at the Final Four one month ago.
Nantz recalled reading an article in the Dallas Morning News about the Cowboys having interest in Manziel. The same can be said about a number of teams in the NFL — a point that Nantz was trying to make previously.
"You hear things about Johnny Manziel going No.1 to Houston; you hear him definitely going to the Browns. I've even heard him going to the Oakland Raiders. I've heard rumors that the Cowboys will do anything they can possibly do to move up and draft him. That was in the body of that content."
So where does Nantz think Manziel end up?
"My answer was — and it remains the same — I have no clue."

Horsemeat in Edmonton?
- i
- itwillmakeaturd Nov 14, 2008 01:52 PM
Where can I get it, if anywhere. I'd prefer never frozen, which might be possible as it's processed in the province, but I'll settle for whatever I can get.
I already tried Sobey's, where they said they could look into it and call me, but I haven't heard back.
I also tried the Italian Centre, but I just got a no and a dirty look.
According to this slightly old article we have two horse slaughtering facilities in Alberta. http://www.netposse.com/slaughter/Can...
This is the lacombe plant that does horse meat: http://www.cpmeats.com/index.htm
and there is one in Fort. Macloud: BOUVRY EXPORT CALGARY LTD. Those are the federally inspected meat plants that are allowed to butcher horses. You could probably give them a call for a referal to one of their clients who deals in horse meat.
Most of it's exported though. I'll admit it isn't something I'd eat in Canada, although I might try it where it is more culturally acceptable. When in Rome...
A friend of mine goes to the Calgary airport to meet the producer from Ft. Mcleod when they load the weekly cargo plane to Holland.
He pre orders and then just picks up his meat at the ramp.
It is more common in Europe, that's for sure. The quality is very good.
My son loves horsemeat. My wife gets it (deli sliced) for him at Ben's Meat Ltd. 15726 Stony Plain Road 489-1424.
Ok I am not in Edmonton, but I know I can order horse meat from a local independent butcher shop. They do not advertise it, but they can get all sorts of different meats if you pre order.
So instead of asking at Sobey's find a small local butcher and ask them.

If you're not a comic book reader, why not?
The majority of respondents chose the last option, stating they were comic book readers. However of those who weren't comic book readers the most common reason was because they lost interest.
At a time when DC has relaunched their entire line of DC Universe books, it's interesting that these lapsed comic book readers weren't enticed by the new #1s.
I also find it interesting that the second most selected reason for not reading comic books was that they are too expensive. Most comic books from DC are now $2.99. You can wait a month and get them for $1.99. I wonder how much cheaper they'd have to get for these respondents to consider them value for money?
Here's the breakdown:

Coun. Andre Chabot is calling for bylaw amendments that would make it more difficult to relax the rules around how far liquor stores need to be built from schools and from each other.
CALGARY - Alberta small business confidence is nearing its post-recession high but more than half of entrepreneurs in the province say the shortage of labour remains their biggest challenge. The latest Business Barometer, released Thursday by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, said Alberta's small business confidence rose almost one point in October to 74.6, the highest level for the index in two and a half years. Over the past four years, the index has only been this high once, when the index also reached the 74.6 level in March 2012, said the report.
The Tory government unveiled a plan Monday to help small businesses through the launch of a new advisory service and website for entrepreneurs. At an event at the Calgary Chamber of Commerce, Premier Jim Prentice said the government's new small business strategy is aimed at reducing red tape.
CALGARY - Alberta dominates the annual rankings of Canada's best places to start and grow a business with eight of the top 10 municipal areas in the overall national rankings, according to the 2014 Entrepreneurial Communities report from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. "It's great to see so many of Alberta's cities land in the top 10. As a relative measure, these cities continue to be good places to own and operate a business," said Richard Truscott, Alberta Director for the CFIB, in a news release.
CALGARY - Don's Hobby Shop has good reason to celebrate on Saturday. In an era when about half of new Canadian small businesses fail within five years, the Calgary retailer, known for selling costumes, is in its 65th year of business.
CALGARY - Alberta small business confidence in September was at its highest level in a year and a half but the shortage of labour is still the biggest challenge for the province's entrepreneurs, says the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. In its latest Business Barometer survey, released Thursday, the CFIB said small business confidence in the province jumped 2.1 points in September to 73.8.
Now that the dust has begun to settle, attention must turn to the long list of challenges facing our province's businesses. Not just big business, but small ones too.
CALGARY - The federal government's move to cut Employment Insurance premiums for small businesses will be a boost for Alberta employers struggling to compete in a tight labour market, business groups said Thursday. Both the Calgary Chamber of Commerce and the Canadian Federation of Independent Business praised Finance Minister Joe Oliver for announcing the Small Business Job Credit, which will reduce EI premiums to $1.60 for every $100 earned in 2015 and 2016, down from the current rate of $1.88.
Alberta small business confidence rebounded in August with provincial entrepreneurs indicating they intend to hire in the short-term but the shortage of labour by far remains their biggest challenge.
CALGARY - Although most economic indicators are strong and positive in Alberta these days, small business confidence in the province slumped in July as a shortage of labour continues to be the biggest challenge for entrepreneurs, according to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. In its latest Business Barometer survey, released Thursday, the CFIB said Alberta's small business confidence dropped 3.2 points in July to 69.4. It also dropped slightly across the country to 63.2, its lowest reading since December 2013. It was 63.5 last month.
Wages in Alberta's food service sector can be expected to rise as employers "addicted" to cheap labour wean themselves off the temporary foreign worker program, federal Employment Minister Jason Kenney said Monday. "We know it's tough in parts of Alberta, but you've got a market problem with the scarcity of labour," Kenney told the Herald editorial board in a conference call. "We believe there should be a market response, and that means responding to the scarcity of labour through higher wages and higher prices and more active recruitment measures."
Long lines, reduced hours of service, and even closures will be felt across the province due to newly announced changes to Canada's temporary foreign worker program, Alberta business groups said Friday. But the changes — which will put limits on where low-paid foreign hires can work and increase fees for employers — are being billed by federal Employment Minister Jason Kenney as a badly needed overhaul that will ensure temporary foreign workers are brought to Canada only as a "last and limited resort."
Employees and business owners worried about upcoming changes to Alberta's employment rules can relax because the changes will be "minor," said the province's Jobs Minister on Monday. Thomas Lukaszuk, who earlier this year launched a comprehensive review of Alberta's employment standards code, said he expects to unveil legislative or regulatory changes this fall. But he said these will be "minor tweaks," not a major overhaul of the code which sets out minimum standards for hours of work, overtime, minimum wage, general holidays, special leaves, termination pay and more.
A warning from Calgary's Chamber of Commerce that local businesses are threatened by tax and fee hikes should prompt council to "trim the fat" from city operations, said Coun. Joe Magliocca. "If I ran my corporation like I ran city hall I'd be bankrupt, to be honest with you," said the rookie Ward 2 councillor Friday, responding to an unusually outspoken letter the chamber sent to mayor and council earlier this week.
There's more bad news coming for Calgary homeowners and businesses when electricity prices spike May 1. Not only are electricity prices rising nearly 40 per cent, but the local access fee charged to Enmax customers on behalf of the city will also jump because — unlike Edmonton where it is a flat rate based on consumption — the City of Calgary fee is based on the wildly fluctuating monthly price of electricity.
Amane Kanai doesn't want to close his restaurant one day a week, but doesn't feel he has a choice.
CALGARY - Confidence levels among Alberta's entrepreneurs slipped in April, dropping the province to third overall in the country behind Saskatchewan and British Columbia, according to the latest Business Barometer survey by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. The survey, which was released Thursday, said Alberta dropped two points in April to 70.7, following a 5.6 point gain in February and March.
CALGARY - A new report indicates nearly 60 per cent of Canadians see opportunities for starting a business in the next six months – the highest rate in the G7. The 2013 Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) Canada – released Wednesday by the Centre for Innovation Studies – also found at least 60 per cent of Canadians call entrepreneurship a good career choice.
The Alberta government's plan to modernize the province's employment rules is being met by confusion and even suspicion from labour groups and business organizations. On Saturday, Jobs Minister Thomas Lukaszuk announced he will be spearheading a comprehensive review of Alberta's employment standards code — the legislation that sets out minimum standards for hours of work, overtime, minimum wage, general holidays, special leaves, rules for employing young workers, termination pay, and more.

This song was written and published in Paris in 1837 as Guide au bord ta nacelle. In this bilingual edition there is a second verse added to Heine's poem by Émile Deschamps (and a corresponding German translation) which is omitted here. Meyerbeer also made settings of Dass sie hier gewesen (Schubert's D775) and Metastasio's L'incanto degli occhi (Schubert's D902 No 1). There is little indication that Meyerbeer knew Schubert's Schwanengesang when he wrote this, but he knew the song's poet, Heine, whom Schubert had never met.

Exclusive - UK: Bruichladdich launches distribution company
By Andy Morton | 14 June 2013
Bruichladdich is to bring its brands under one roof
Rémy Cointreau's Bruichladdich has set up its own UK distribution company, bringing the Islay distillery's Botanist Gin and Scotch brands into the same network for the first time.
The new company, Bruichladdich UK, will launch on 1 July, Bruichladdich told just-drinks today (14 July). "It's really exciting because we're able to take total control over our portfolio and bring the two sides together," Bruichladdich commercial director Douglas Taylor said.
"It was just time for us to look after our brands, so really its a momentous and exciting time."
Botanist is currently distributed by Gordon & MacPhail, while Blavod Wines & Spirits handles Bruichladdich's Bruichladdich, Port Charlotte and Octomore brands.
The new company will help the different brands open doors to new markets, Taylor said. "It makes sense to put them together because when you're talking to one customer about the Botanist you can then introduce Bruichladdich and vice versa," he said.
Blavod's chairman, meanwhile, praised his company's four-year distribution deal with Bruichladdich.
"We enjoyed good growth in sales and maintained strong premium pricing and broad distribution," Don Goulding said.
The Blavod and Bruichladdich distribution agreement ends on 1 July.
Rémy paid GBP58m (US$90.3m) for Bruichladdich in September. The distillery has since doubled its annual output.
