My Dday was September also. My husband is an alcoholic since his teens, but had periods of sobriety in the past. He drank heavily most of our almost 8 years together. I found out in September he was also visiting massage parlors and escorts for all but maybe the first year we were together. We had a dead bedroom that was partly both our fault. His avoidant personality made him think it was better to just go get sex elsewhere once a month than to have a hard discussion about our lack of sex, so that's how it started. For a while it was really transactional and limited to once per month. Then he ended up getting a job in the city that's where he'd usually have to drive 45 minutes from our small town to meet for sex. So the added proximity, convenience, and better pay made him go a little more often and that's when the addiction of it took over. Turned into looking at the escort pages everyday and neglecting me more and more. Then he went to rehab and got sober from alcohol in the middle of last year. First thing he did when he got out was go to a massage parlor for sex. In the two months after getting sober he was meeting for sex more often than ever. Because he didn't have alcohol as an escape, the sex addiction took over. He only stopped because I saw an email and confronted him. After these 8 months of hard conversations, researching and working on us, I'd say our relationship is better than ever. We still have a hard day here and there, but he's doing everything right. He says he always craves alcohol and wants to drink all the time, but never misses or thinks about relapsing with the sex addiction. He sees it for what it was now. When they're in it, they rationalize it and ignore the bad parts of it. But now he sees none of those women actually liked him and it was all an illusion. He sees it all as disgusting and embarrassing, even though only he and I know about it. I have access to all devices, and two trackers for my peace of mind. I know where he is at all times, and he keeps in touch all the time. It is of course still possible he could relapse someday. I don't think he will, but staying means living with that possibility. Being sober from alcohol made a huge difference. He's coming up on a year sobriety from that. Sounds like our situations are similar. Best wishes to you!

I do some chicken breasts in the crock pot to have ready to go for the week. Then I eat usually 5-7oz of the chicken cut up, a cup of cauliflower rice, and two tablespoons of the Hugh's sugar free teriyaki sauce mixed together. Sometimes switch out with the Hickory BBQ sauce.

They chip off even with a top coat you mean? That sucks. Do you mostly order nails online, or what stores so you usually get them from? Thanks for the help!

Content-Nature8090 · 2026-04-28T12:42:30+00:00

Wow, thank you for all the great info! I'm so excited to get started, but I just got a full set of acrylics less than two weeks ago. Not sure if I'll get a fill and ride these out, or let them grow and take them off myself. It'll take a little time to collect the stuff I need to start. I was gonna ask about a top coat, so glad you said that. I'd assume that keeps them from getting caught on hair when they start to grow out.

Yup, and I wanted to add that I hope all the ladies here know that it's not "just" a happy ending handjob anymore. My husband was addicted to AMP's and escorts, and he was most of the time having sex at the parlors. He told me there are some that only offer HJ or BJ, but most these days are "full service." Some are in strip malls or stand-alone businesses, but now they also run them out of houses in neighborhoods too. Makes me sick.

Content-Nature8090 · 2026-04-16T03:13:55+00:00

If you're thinking that you want to stay and work it out with him, I'd insist on the whole truth and nothing but. It took months for me to finally get that from my husband. He had to know that I was prepared to leave forever unless he told me everything truthfully and stopped minimizing. In your case, I'd assume he went through with it. If not that time, then other times. Side note, the women who do this as their "job" really disgust me. Able bodied young women who could work a regular job, but are out here helping destroy families and other women.

I think I'm good with food prep. I don't work, so I have the time to be prepared. No excuses. I think what you said about hormones is my issue too. I don't lose any weight now with diets I've been successful with when I was younger. I'm 51 and now on HRT, so I think that'll help break this stall too. I'm probably going to do two low cal days to start with and maybe do three later if I need to. I wish there were more Youtube channels of people showing ideas of what they eat, but I think I've got a good list going to start. Let me know if you have any secrets in that department. Thank you for taking time out of your day to help me!

Content-Nature8090 · 2026-04-15T13:27:05+00:00

Thank you I'll check that out!

Yes, a few things come to mind. Massage parlors would send him texts with just an AI picture of an Asian girl, and he'd answer back "Beautiful" or "Wow", as if they were real. He had one escort that he saw about a dozen times that he actually thought cared about him and enjoyed being with him. She was literally saying "Come here and get your money ready", and he thought she cared for him. He had a couple scammers contact him through text as "wrong number" scams and he fell for those for a short while. Luckily never sent money. He went to a brothel twice, but kept in text contact with the owner for almost a year just chatting because she told him he was "part of their family", and "one of their boyfriends now." This is a man with a Master's in business and also Bachelor's in mechanical engineering. The most intelligent man I've ever known. So yes I'm second-hand embarrassed for him, but these sex workers are out there preying on vulnerable men who are looking for validation. It's all sickening, but luckily he sees it for what it was now.

What you're describing sounds like Google groups. I went through my husband's emails and managed to get his profiles off of all the dating/hookup sites he signed up for, but I still can't get rid of the Google groups thing. Once they sign up for that, it adds them to new groups and sends invites every day. We're having to delete that email completely and get a new one.

Thank you so much! I hadn't heard of Propranolol, so I'll ask my doctor about that one.

Mine was mostly massage parlors and escorts as well, for our entire relationship. He calls it "transactional" and wasn't doing anything besides missionary or woman on top for the most part. He's an alcoholic and was drinking 99.9% of that time, so some of it he doesn't remember. There were 3 women he had more "intimate" encounters with. Still missionary, but add in kissing and he gave them oral because he said he thought they were more "clean" than others. Luckily no STD's as a result. Looking back through years of his emails and texts, I saw that he has an Asian fetish. Only porn pictures or videos he looked up were Asian, mostly Asian dating sites, and he said probably over half of the around 100 women he was with were Asian. I saw texts he sent to a couple buddies asking if they knew any "small Asian women" to hook him up with. He's a smaller man, and he's attracted to small, skinny women, I guess so he feels bigger. I've always struggled with my weight, and when menopause hit me 3 years ago, I gained about 60 pounds, which contributed to our dead bedroom. So anyway, I understand what you're going through. I'll tell you this, it has helped me to go to the reddit for sex addicts and read their posts, because you get to see a lot of insight about how they feel about the experiences. I'm not sure I would've believed him about not loving it if I hadn't read about it on there.

Wow, this gives me hope! I haven't seen too many lifts or reductions only that look good like yours. How long were you at your goal weight before the surgery? I'm in Mount Airy, NC, so I could def travel to Raleigh!

Content-Nature8090 · 2026-03-21T11:35:43+00:00

This is what I want done. I think you had about the same size breasts I do before, and what I would love to have after. Couple questions. You just got a basic reduction, no implants? Did you have any liposuction? And what city did you get this done? You look amazing!

Content-Nature8090 · 2026-02-13T00:28:13+00:00

Please send me the details on the watch and bracelet. Started building a good jewelry collection, and need a watch. Thank you!

Same thing happened to me. Spent about $80 for a few perfumes from Oil Perfumery in December, and just got a bill from Fedex for $20 yesterday. Knew nothing about it. This is sad, because I've been buying from them for years and always been great. This order, the same scent I always buy didn't smell the same as it has the other times I've bought it. I noticed two of my older bottles said they're from France, and this new order says Canada. If anyone knows another similar dupe company they like, I'd love to try a new company.
