Nice. What's your drug/s of choice?
Small doses of opiates + benzos + nicotine (vape in private). I make sure my DH, a grandparent, or a babysitter is "on duty" when I dose. I'm not a monster, just a person trying to get through day by day. It started because I had leftover opiates from my postpartum pain when the PPD kicked in. Instead of sobbing every evening like clockwork, I took a pill and actually enjoyed the evening grind - loving on my baby, tidying the house, prepping bottles, engaging with DH, dealing better with night wakings. I'm not under any illusions that I'm not headed for rehab or a breakdown. But for now, I'm working FT and being the best mom I can be. And I have to force myself to eat, yes. Please don't assume I'm glorifying this. I'm a train wreck inside.

I thought my xh didn't know. He later told me he knew 2 yrs into my affair. I have a very high drive and I said no thanks for the first time in 8 yrs. I think aps wife always knew. Although he thought she didnt. Ap is a horrible liar. I tried to end it after year 3. We stayed away for a few months and it didn't work. I'm divorced and he's going through one now. Our relationship is much less stressful now that we don't have to sneak around.
My dual life started because I had begged my then husband to pay attention to me, and get off the effing Xbox. I'd walk around naked and he'd still play the xbox.
He'd ignore me all day and have sex with me while I slept.
Ugh
Wait, what?
Yeah. I didn't find out until later. He did it often. He thoughit was funny. I'd tell " but I was asleep", and he'd say " your p**** wasnt" and then laugh. Not a cruel laugh, but one where he was so effing pleased with himself
That's sexual abuse. You were not consenting and didn't know. I've been there. It's very violating. XH was charged with numerous counts of sexual assault. I didn't think the police would care. They do.

Sounds like ol' Elvis was working with a little pinky if you managed to stay sleep and not know.
It was like a aa battery.
