    I've lost track of how many times I have checked this thread for an update......

    Sending you my very best wishes and hope you are well and feeling some relief.
  • Ditto, to that one fozziebeartoo, I don't think my husband has had use of the laptop today - keeping finger crossed, wish you well, S&S.

    It seems true to her word the truth is out back off she may or may not post the result.That must be her decision alone.
  • And every time someone posts those of us who have subscribed check to see if OP has come back - now me included:)

    Guessing things might be a little tricky for her just now.

    I'm thinking that it has gone well and she is spending time with her husband sorting it out. If it had gone badly then she would have been back for support but now hopefully she has it at home.
    Mama read so much about the dangers of drinking alcohol and eating chocolate that she immediately gave up reading.
  • Hi all

    Firstly let me say a massive thankyou for all your messages of support, they really mean a lot.

    Well... I have told him, and as you can expect he was shocked, angry, upset and yes he did go mental for a short time....

    However I have to say he has handled it so well considering, his main concern is that I didn't go to him earlier before it spiralled out of control, and he is trying to understand why I felt I couldn't talk to him. We have had an up and down weekend, but I have laid it all on the line, I have give him total control and of my finances and we have a plan in place.

    I am so grateful for my second chance and I can start to enjoy being married again.

    I know it may be a bumpy road and I am ready for that. My advice to anyone reading this who was in my position.... tell your partner.
  • I am so pleased he took it better than you thought he would. Well done now you can start working as a team again x
