Michelle, I know you are wise and mature, beyond your years I would say, you ARE a grown up... but 25 is still very young and especially for a guy. If he wasnt M, I'd say going out drinking and chatting up women would be pretty normal activities for a guy his age (certainly in the UK anyway) and not unhealthy. You guys did get M quite young by todays standards (again, by UK standards) is that something that he was keen to do? Did he want to create a solid R, unlike the one his parents had?
I have often thought that your H sounds perhaps emotionally immature. I still think that the root of his problems isnt so much war, as his upbringing, and the bad example his Dad set him.. his Dad, from what you said, has shown him how to be a commitment phobe and to run to the next piece of excitement.
I think thats what you are battling, not the OW or his war scars, although that stuff doesnt help of course?
At least he IM'd you.. who intitiated that then? Ali xxx
