Because my husband intends to become involved in a local election, and because he is well known, I asked last night if he wasn't concerned that the woman, to whom he sent the picture of his private parts, might not recognize him in the media and 'out him'.

I said that I didn't know where she is located, but that I was concerned about that. (They were emailing - (sexting? or just bashing me?) and she asked for a pic of his penis. He sent one, and she responded, "no thanks" or 'not interested'. Something like that.) This happened 7 years ago.

He told me last night that the pic never went through. I told him that it did, and reminded him of her response. He said he can't remember what she was 'not interested' in, but that he KNEW the pic did not go through.

Then, he says that it is no problem - because she was from _____.

So, he doesn't remember what she was not interested in, but he does remember where she was from???

I asked him, if it was true that the pic didn't go through, why would he let me believe all these years that it did. No answer.

I don't know if the pic went through and he is trying to keep me from being worried about him being outed if she sees coverage of this election he is involved with --- or, if it didn't go through, and he let me believe that it did all these years.

Last night I asked him why he told me that it was sent. He said that when we were talking about all of this, I wasn't believing anything he said, so he just agreed with what I was accusing him of. (Can't imagine why I wasn't believing him!)

Anyway, I guess it doesn't matter, really. There was a pic of him naked with a prostitute - that's a fact - and he did at least attempt to send it to this woman - for whatever reason.

But it surely does make me wonder - as I always have - what the real story is.

After we spoke about these things last night, he said, "I'm sorry". I told him that I didn't believe him. That someone that is really sorry tries to make things right.

His response - no answer.

I also asked if he planned to keep these 'secrets' between him and 'them' - secrets that I am not privy to. No answer.

Don't know why I am posting this. I guess, its because I know you all will understand the frustration of once again finding out that you don't have an idea in hell what really happened.

Oh yes..I know that feeling.

(((((WhatsRight)))))

I don't think that I will ever know the truth.

He has in showing me that his secrets are more important than our marriage.

I wish you peace

Yup. I understand. I know I don't really know what happened. I just know it doesn't add up. I didn't understand TT until well after I had already NCed him (for good, it would seem).

((Hugs))

I would say the message went through. He could have saved himself some grief and we all know that WS's are all about that.

If it did not go through, it's pretty shitty that he didn't tell you.

I know the feeling well too! I probably won't ever have the full story. Seeing as I'm filing for separation, and very likely divorce down the road, I guess it doesn't matter anymore. So why do I still agonize over it?????

Me-BS 43
Him-WH 45
Married 8, together 9

My H has given me vey few parts of the story, even after MC.

Lots of IDK, IDR. So unless he has a revelation I know I will never get the whole story.

And that is another reason I am getting my ducks in a row!!!

and she asked for a pic of his penis. He sent one, and she responded, "no thanks" or 'not interested'.

This doesn't pass the sniff test and he is doing the 'no answer' because he knows it.

Sorry

Sorry that you're dealing with this, WR. I'm sure you're concerned about reliving all of this should these pics resurface (Weiner, et al come to mind). If the shit hits the fan I suppose you'll get all of the truth, albeit backhandedly.

I hope it all goes well and you can continue to move forward ...

Sounds to me like you're being gaslighted.

Perhaps he thinks "deny, IDK, IDR" is the best approach in the election world, but its not in a marriage. Secrets demolish all the trust..

He has in showing me that his secrets are more important than our marriage.

LOVE this quote! So very, very true in my case.

I think it went through and he's just wanting to avoid thinking that it may be a problem. I also don't know the whole story of my ws, I know him, he will never ever tell me.
I hope you can find peace in this sich, I'm sorry it reared its ugly head again.

Cheaters lie and lie some more. I truly believe they know know other life.

Then the ones that want to change to a better person are the ones that tell the truth.

I am sorry.

Sounds like he has the lying gas lighting part of politics down.

I understand that conversation and those responses completely.

I have had those same conversations with my WS and then the no response when I am confused because he has now flipped flopped on his answers. Been There!

I can understand your concern that this person my surface if your WS is in the media. You state that it is a local election, so hopefully that will be not as known. But does she live anywhere in your state? Hopefully far far away.

He is not actually the candidate - he will be supporting the candidate. Since my husband is well known, I am nervous that she will see his face in print or on news and decide to ruin our lives.

oops - double post.

Or hes afraid you will destroy him when you find out. Public news during election. Funny, that doesnt make things go away does it?

I think I have given the wrong impression.

My WH isn't running for anything. He is just a visible supporter -

My thread was really about the change in story.

But, I am truly petrified about that woman seeing his face or hearing his name (yes, he used his real name) during the campaign.

I'm not even so very worried about what that would do to the actual candidate - just my family.
