[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP,
I've read this entire thread with great interest because I could be your twin ... only I've not started recovery (yet).

I've been married 15 years and have sex with 10 men outside my marriage.  A couple ONS, one full-blown physical/emotional affair, mostly casual FWB arrangements. I've slept with neighbors, coworkers, friends.  Husband knows none of this and tells me constantly that he is so happy with our marriage. None of my friends or family know I've ever cheated (except for the men themselves, of course, but most think they were the only one).

I go through periods of being good, but keep finding myself back at it. I'd like to hear more about the recovery process. Do you think it would be possible to enter a treatment program without disclosing everything to the spouse? Or is that counter to the whole concept of recovery? I'm afraid that my attempt to fix myself would end up destroying his world. If I can do it without that, it'd be easier to imagine getting started. [/quote]

Let me clarify. Yes you can enter recovery without disclosing everything. Many people do. But I think to enter recovery without disclosing anything will be problematic. The point is to move toward greater transparency, not less.[/quote]
