I have been thinking of you even when I couldn't get to the BB.
Then I catch up to find that your H has retreated to his other world. That is what it is like for him. Two worlds - one without alcohol that includes you and your S. Then one with alcohol and the OW. He is ashamed to involve you in the alcohol world.
Look at is this way - the OW is getting sloppy seconds - LOL! She is only in possession of the side of him that is hazy.
You, on the other hand, possess his love and his precious child. He truly is reaching his limit and then the truth will become obvious to him. He needs help with his drinking and needs to clean up his act.
Regarding his stomach - getting a scope is no big deal. When I had an ulcer I actually watched mine on a "learner's scope" - it was sooooo coooollll! And it helped me understand what was going on.
I would encourage him to get it and get it over with. There are some wonderful meds that can heal any variety of ailments in the stomach and GI tract.
Mostly, I want to tell you how much I admire you. You are doing so well. I know this is tough stuff but you yourself are pretty tough. Your venting made me laugh - so you helped even then!
I'll keep praying for you! Hang in there.
