Hey Y'all,
Greetings from Hotlanta. I posted here about 3 years ago, after I found out about an affair my wife had had for 12 years. After some beating up by lots of the posters, I was informed by NOPkins that he did not expect our marriage to survive. We are still together. As far as I can tell, our marriage is sound, but, of course, I still have that doubt in the back of my mind, even after 3 years, "Can I trust her?" We (my wife and I) went thru about a year of therapy with a counselor who seemed to know what he was doing. We still do some checking in about once a week ("Is there anything you want to talk about, is there anything that is bothering you?"). I am struggling with unemployment right now, after 4 months, with no immediate end in sight. Doesn't seem to be an issue with our relationship, although I am not bring in a lot of income, other than UI, which will end in 20-30 weeks. I am working very hard at the job search. Our sex life is very satisfying, although I can see a falling off, mostly I think from aging and physical limitations. All in all, we are still together, and I think NOPkins missed the mark here. Actually, if I had to guess, I would suspect NOPkins is a 12-year old named Myron who lives on Staten Island, who has a giant bank of servers that he keeps secretly in his parents' basement and spins all of these yarns to satisfy some primal control urges. But that's just me.
