I'm a fan...you keep it real. Sometimes I haven't wanted to hear it, but you keep it real and I suspect you're right in most cases. So if you have the time and the inclination, I'd so appreciate you busting my ass right now.
Dated for 3 years. He starts texting prostitutes 10 months later, meets up with them within a few months after that. Has sex with 8, if we are to believe that he's honest (lol). 14 months of cheating. Porn addiction. Relapses on crack after 7/8 years clean during this. Goes to rehab, comes back, DDay when I read his journal. Is a shockingly honest changed man for 5 months, starts closing himself off again and drops recovery meetings, relapses on crack mid-April and I kick him out.
I miss this fool. WTF.

I'm not No Mercy...I only wish I was that badass! But I do have an opinion for you, if you don't mind...
You miss who you thought he was...you miss what you thought your life together was...you miss what you thought your future was going to be.
Look at what you wrote. All that stuff you wrote is him. Do you really miss that? Or do you miss what you thought you had?
It's okay to grieve the dreams you thought were coming true...but start to dream new ones too! The new dreams will be the rope you use to help yourself climb out of the hurt you are in now.

Thank you, coastofsomewhere. You're right, I miss the guy I dated and married. I don't miss my husband. The guy I dated and married is long gone. I thought he was pretty fantastic, but my husband killed and ate him.
And I will be grateful for reality checks from anyone!

I must admit, some of the posts I have gotten on my threads by NoMercy have gotten a “Take what you need and leave the rest” kinda feeling. Even if I wasnt in a good place to listen what NoMercy was saying, I still need to hear it. Keep it real!

Oh goodness Dee. Maybe the crack seeps out of his pores and you've inhaled some of it.
I recommend buying a dog. They require attention and care to satisfy your need for a dependent but they treat you with SO much love and appreciation in return.

If I had posted at the beginning of this and I had No Mercy on my side. I would have divorced. :). I wouldn’t have had that moment of weakness....thinking about seeing my kids only half the time.

Dee, the man you married never existed. It was all a facade. You see him as he really is now, so you will never get that man back.
We never really get the entire truth about the As, so in all honesty, it probably went on longer than you realize. We BS never get the truth, unless we are fortunate enough to have a spouse who will take a poly. You are going to have to accept that this is who he is, and what he did. It truly sucks. Can you live the rest of your life with this knowledge? It is something all of us have to decide.
I think my biggest problem would be having to constantly worry about him falling back into it. Also, I question the character of a person who would use another human being, prostitute or not, they are humans, typically addicts, or women down on their luck. Apparently, they aren't very hard to find, either, and he is likely to cover his tracks very well.
This really is the Shit Sandwich that people talk about having to eat.

Hee hee! I have four dogs. Four adorable sweet doggies. That's the unconditional love in my life.
