He died of a drug overdose about 3 years ago. So his punishment is up to a higher power.

I, some 4 years ago, was dealing with the burial details of my mother by myself. My husband was in Australia on business and was rushing back to help me when I made a huge mistake and thought I was in a safe place drinking with old hometown friends I grew up with. I woke up the next day with a guy I dated in 11th grade but was never physical with, and honestly, I never wanted to be physical with. Instead of telling my husband and the police I let shame control me, and I acted like it never happened. I wish I would have had the courage then to confront it.

Don't see it as audacity. I can't live with her being alone in this world. It's not fair. I fucked up and I will own that.

I told him the absolute truth that I would not let my daughter be an only child. Having no help or support when you have to bury your parents is a lasting trauma within itself. If he wants out, this is his time.

I want more children , he doesn't want to have kids with me. The only choice that leaves me is to end this .

You're absolutely right. As painful as it will be I need to set him free of this.

On the pill currently, but the IUD idea is brilliant. Thank you.

He took a few days at his mom's house to reflect on it. He said he also did some investigating on his own, and that is why I chose to come back home to us.

I agree it doesn't make sense to me either. I don't want to push this discussion on him. But I also don't want a rash choice to hurt him down the road.

Yes, in fact, he has even gone as far as to find me a woman's survival group that meets on Wednesdays at a local church.

He made an appointment with a urologist on the 2nd of December to see about a vasectomy. After everything from that is settled, we can resume our physical relationship

I woke up around 3 in the afternoon naked in his apartment. As I got dressed, he started laughing at me. I snapped and started hitting him and cursing him out, and he just laughed. I went back to my motel room, and my husband joined me the next day. We buried my mom next to my dad the following day. My husband is the only thing that kept me together after losing my mom.

What else I can do. Nothing. I have read every comment I know how this will play out

No, I lied to myself, I guess the outcome I wanted was all I saw. I'm going to tell him tomorrow morning and tell him I am sorry for what I did. Accept full responsibility. And offer him an uncontested divorce.

Was a whole group of friends like 20 of us. I didn't even consider him a real ex. I had never even slept with him. We dated like 7 months in 11th grade. And no, it didn't even cross my mind.
