Edith -
Oh Chef, Forgive me if I am wrong, but didn't you post his "I'm sorry" letter a while back? It was quite memorable, and now this news absolutely has me floored.
"Oh and they've been in contact since Dday."
And he asked her to marry him? What a complete pogue!!
Yes, I did... I thought he meant every word. It was lies. And his post here, was a lie. He took it down, but hasn't posted again. I am shaking today and having huge anxiety attacks. I need time, I need space. I can't catch a break.
The things he told her about me. The lowest of low. I'm going to share this, because as I type it, it reminds me of how horrid and violating it all is.
I am a diabetic, so there was a period that the Dr. was adjusting my meds and I was fightin a bad yeast infection (diabetics are prone). He had her convinced that we were in a sexless marriage, and actually took a picture of my medication and sent it too her as proof that we "couldn't" be intimate. Can we say Violated? Humiliated?
He told her that I had been crippled as a young adult, that I was bi-polar and that my meds made me sleep all the time. That I was lazy and that he had to do everything. He painted a picture that is anything but close to the truth. That I started culinary school as a hairbrained plan to start a business and that it was costing him a fortune, and that I just quit for no reason. He took me to the school, practically gave me no choice but to enroll, enrolled me and did it proudly.
I quit because his youngest daughter came to live with us this past summer and she needed me at home (lots of stuff to deal with emotionally etc). I quit to be available for her. I broke my heart to quit, it was a huge dream for me that he said he supported, He used it as fuel on my fire to get her committment.
I need to throw up
She has hundreds of pictures of the inside of my house. Knows every detail about my girls and their schools. She was going to wait for him. She has his nickname for her tattooed on her wrist. She has every email, every text, picture, video. All of it. I should ask her to send it all to me, but I don't think I could bare to read any of it or look at it.
I have more details of their sex life. She was basically his wife in another city. When he got his new roll in San Francisco, he was supposedly in NC. They were talking and she bought a ticket to go see him there. She is hardcore into SM, Things that I won't judge for, but that I can't imagine. Cutting, bruises, pain. NOT MY THING. He swears he didn't do any of that even though she begged him too. He doesn't do "pain" What ever!
I don't know what else I can take at this point. I'm strong, but I have limits. I have offered him everyway out. Go, go be with her... be happy. I'll make it easy. He swears it's not what he wants. I still don't believe him. I think he wants both of us.
He sent a final NC letter last night. She'll try to contact him again, she always does. She got to him this time via text on a game. All games are now deleted and I have parental controls on the electronics and full access to his iTunes so I can see what apps are being downloaded and deleted.
But I don't want to babysit. What's the point? Just go and be with her, if that's what you freaking want. Leave me to my pain, so I can heal and have a life. A life I deserve.
He wants to be the man I deserve. Such a long road. And what if? what if I'm the game now... and she's still there waiting in the wings.
