No advice can be given, Adam. What you're feeling is a totally natural thing. It's really up to her at this point to do things like check in frequently and stuff like that.
 
So what you're saying is tying her to the bed and breaking her ankles is not an option?
While it is an option, it is likely not a good option.

All I can say is if you can trust her enough to stay married to her, you can trust her enough to be alone and away from you for a week. Be honest with your concerns, and if you really want, have her call you at specific times every day to keep communication going.

Honest answer? It changes monthly. We normally hire 1-2 people every fall and 1-2 every spring since we tend to have a handful of college students that come and go. It's always up in the air although we seem to have a solid crew right now that isn't going away. I've said that before though so...
So how would someone apply for a job with you? `

It's easier to work on a marriage than yourself. Seems counter-intuitive but, if I replace marriage with "Ask girls out", the rest of the thread would be "Nut up!"
 
Perhaps, but there's a marked difference between "Hey, I'm into this chick but I don't have the confidence to actually make a move," and "My wife cheated on me and I'm afraid she's going to do it again."
 
man up and get a shrink
Did the shrink thing for 6 months. Found going to the gym was a better use of my time. Which increased the man up side!

As for thinking she'd do it again, I don't think she would. But it's not like trust is an on/off switch. I can only add/subtract from the trust bucket every day.

I described it to the shrink thusly:

The infidelity is visualized in my head like an old Ford Fury. Every now and then I take a piece of it and destroy it. Some days I can take a bigger piece than others - or some bad days I end up adding a piece back on. My goal in the end is to destroy that bloody thing but it's a slow and laborious process. What used to be this massive land yacht is now reduced to a frame and engine. The majority of it is gone, but there are large chunks left behind. Those chunks are proving very difficult to move. In time, maybe they'll rust away but right now, it's this ugly piece of machinery occupying a huge space in my head.
 
RANT:

So yeah, I haven't gotten laid since Halloween. It's freakin killing me. CBC has pretty much cut ties since that night (Oh and btw, got checked, I'm still clean) so my guaranteed sex with a phone call is gone again. It's been nearly 3 weeks and I'm going out of my mind. I haven't had much free time to go out and find someone for a quick fix. Work load tripled this month so it's been office, home, glass/glasses of wine, sleep, repeat.

In the past 5 months, I've completely slacked on my working out, so I've put on vanity weight that's also pissing me off, but obviously not enough to get me back into the gym/supplements/cleanse/eating right but it's getting there.

I'm pushing for a promotion into the department I REALLY want but my current department is so short staffed, especially after losing about 4 people in nearby branches in the past 3 months, lessens that chance even more.

Well, on the upside, you wanted to break it off with her around Halloween anyway, right?

On a more serious note, sorry you're having a rough time, and it doesn't seem like there's any real answer. Sounds like you don't really have the time to work out or go out and meet someone, due to your workload, so I don't see a solution present itself until things slack up at work - which, given the situation you're describing, is probably going to be a while. I wish you luck, however it turns out.

That reminds me I love it when I push pause when I'm watching something and the people are all frozen with weird looks on their faces.

Yeah I know I am easy to entertain.

I remember my parents getting one of the new fangled VCRs that would "freeze" the image in a way that you could actually see it (rather than the flickering mess of old paused vcrs).

We got great at pausing during the funny faces part. I would probably still crack up at the owl's face right before it takes a cork to the noggin' in dumb and dumber.



Hm. Guess some things are better remembered than re-lived.


"whoooOOOOO"

I am sick of people who only want me around when they need something. They run off and do their own thing until their plans fall through and then they think they can just come back and whine to me and I'll be the main attraction at their pity party.
Hell no.
 
My girlfriend broke up with me. We'd only been dating a bit more than a month, but I just spent like $350 on her birthday weekend.

Now within 5 days I've lost my job and my girlfriend. What a shitty week.

:(
 
I don't think it's a question of whether or not there's a Romani curse on you. It's a question of how many Romani curses you have.

So Gusto, how many have you pissed off recently?
Have you maybe threatened to throw one or more gypsies into the fire if she or they didn't sleep with you?
