    Okay, forget what I said about “needing” my husband to hang out for a while yet, while we get back on our feet; I was exhausted and feeling
    overwhelmed and I’m sure that I will again and again… but……………..

    I’m sure… you were all scratching your heads going… “okay, triple L, whatever…” (thinking, well, lets see how long this lasts)

    Alright, alright, alright… calm down!!! 😉

    you were right.

    he’s going to be gone by the weekend.

    why?

    I will tell you why.

    About 10 days ago, he suggested that since I’ve been doing so well, I should get a tablet, (like an I pad, if you don’t know), because the prices have come way down and I really need one for work to show clients stuff in their homes instead of mooching off of their computers.

    So, he helped me pick one out and it arrived on Friday, I think. I was so shit-faced inundated, that I couldn’t even look at it until last night.

    I told my h that he could fiddle around with it, to see how it worked. Fine, he did that. no problem.

    So, last night, I had some time, and I turned it on… and let me tell you, this tab thing is the coolest thing ever… Its a Samsung Galaxy and when you turn it on, its like taking a trip into outer space… and then I took it over to my h who did the little finger pinching thingy to open up the screen, excited to get started…

    when what fresh hell do I find awaiting me?

    Welcome to Horde

    Server [pop3 server]

    he had been looking at his fucking email which is still locked up tighter than a drum… and I was furious! This was MY brand new tab, and already he had infected it with the his filthy slime.

    what is fucking wrong with me????????? why have i allowed him to behave in this manner and for years and years and years?????????

    I’ve been thinking a lot recently, how I am prone to accept a LOT of really DISGUSTING BEHAVIOR from men. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that one out.

    Alright, it is perfectly possible that he was not necessarily doing anything he shouldn’t have been doing, but seeing THAT email program, that I’ve never heard of and also that is entirely different from what he chose for me that he says he doesn’t like. (its good enough for me, but not him) and the word HORDE, which sounds an awful lot like WHORE, triggered me right back to all of the TIMES, discovering all of his slimy, SECRETIVE, shit on his email–that HE SWORE NEVER HAPPENED, but actually DID HAPPEN, that he had been hiding from me for years and years.

    gotta pull one over on the little dumb Misses. God forbid I go after my hot wife for some hot sex! Gotta find someone else… Anyone, as long as it isn’t *HER* Gotta tell my hot ginormous boobed paramours that laurel’s tits are small and then gotta tell my ex-fuck buddy in Israel ALL ABOUT my conquests and how much I DESERVE to have them!!! (after EVERYTHING I’ve been through) and then, so that I can really DESTROY laurel… I’ll just leave it ALL OUT IN THE OPEN ON HER LAP TOP SO THAT SHE CAN SEE WHAT A HOT SEXY, HORNY MAN I REALLY AM, THAT SHE CAN’T HAVE. HEHEHE…

    laurel be damned!!!!!! stupid cunt!!! I’ll just deny that I actually had sex with any of them, no matter how many times she asks and begs me to tell her the TRUTH! she doesn’t get the truth. she doesn’t get anything from me, but I’ll check her oil once in a while, just to show her what a “good guy” I am.

    And NOW… once again, he does not consider me at all… and cavalierly didn’t bother to close the program, not that I could see anything, but that IS THE POINT!!!! I CAN’T FUCKING SEE ANYTHING. I don’t know what he is doing or chatting with or who is writing him, that shouldn’t be.

    I was absolutely LIVID!

    I got no apology for him. No, “Laurel, I’m so sorry, I did not mean to upset you, I’m a thoughtless idiot. I’m really sorry”

    nothing, but telling me to calm down.

    I WILL NOT FUCKING CALM DOWN!!!!!!!!

    why should i? why should i allow him even the remotest possibility to cause me ANY further pain and trauma, simply because he’s a selfish, lying, betraying prick?

    I don’t need his fucking help. I will either figure out how to do whatever he does, myself or find someone else to help me.

    I know at least 2 couples who SHARE ONE email address!

    I told him that if he didn’t give me the password right then and there, that he was to be out by Sunday.

    Guess what? surprise, surprise… he’s going. He told me that no way do I get his passwords. He’s not doing anything wrong… and

    “That is my PRIVATE email, laurel.”

    I said, sooooo??? I’m your wife– still and you’ve had a secret life that I knew nothing about for the last nine years, at least,
    and once again, you are rubbing my face in your shit and on my brand new virginal tab– that is MINE, MINE, MINE!!!!
    PAID FOR WITH MY FUCKING MONEY!!!

    “I cannot give you, my passwords, laurel–

    I don’t trust you.”

    Hi lexie,

    Sorry this is happening again. And you know what, you do deserve the passwords. And if he will not give them, then we all know what that means. If h wants to re establish trust, he does need to give it up. You require transparency to heal. Marsha wrote about this in her book, passwords and all email accounts included as well as bank statement pay stubs. No secrets. And when they have betrayed trust, there should be no secrets. It’s the only way to repair.

    Oh, Lexie.. What a complete shithead he is. I am so sorry. Wtf was he doing using your tablet to look up his email anyway? He doesn’t trust YOU? Good God, he’s taken crazy-making to a whole new level. Sending you hugs, and very glad you’re kicking his ass outta there.

    Dear Lexie,

    I have to admit I was concerned that he was NOT begging to stay and trying to make genuine amends to you. He is just too cold or too shut down? I get the feeling the prick is calling your bluff, Lexie, and playing on your fears around money, your kids ect. I think you should turf him as he is driving you crazy and so far he has not had to suffer any real consequnces. Give him some consequences Lexie. If he responds to them you will have a kinder, more helpful narc on your hands….if he doesn’t then you have a narc off your hands. I know you are frightened but is time for you stand behind your threats or he is never going to think you mean what you say? These guys don’t understand talk, Lexie, they ONLY understand actions.Take action. Karen xx

    Oh Lexie, I am so sorry. I just want to strangle these assholes who build us up only to smash us down. Big hugs honey.

    Any addict who does not offer complete transparency is simply showing their arrogance, their denial and that they are not even close to trying to recover.

    He doesn’t trust YOU? WTF? I am always amazed at their ability to twist reality.

    We are all here for you. Lean on us whenever you need us and make decisions that are right for you.

    Much love and all my best good energy. ~ JoAnn

    He doesn’t trust you not to totally lose your shit when you see what he’s been doing on your new laptop.

    You are all right. And get this… he actually went over to the “mother ship” and turned it on… and guess what? the “geek”, TECHNICIAN, (as he calls himself) couldn’t get the email program to open up.

    wtf?

    The fact that he feels ENTITLED to have “privacy” on his email is what is making me nuts. Of course, he will say… “but laurel… we are separating, so why would you need to see what I’m saying–NOW? I don’t look at YOUR email?”

    but he could. any time he wishes. I have no passwords on it. he doesn’t look though. he’s a passive often P-Aggressive slug.

    Just saw my therapist who was appalled that he had the gumption to leave that for me to find.

    His MO is to take the path of least resistance and has an extremely narrow belief system when it comes to himself. He has put himself inside a straw and he cannot possibly see that outside his straw, there’s an entire world of possibility, but to him… inside the straw, it is NOT possible.

    I wish I had more friends– more of a local support system. People around me, who loved me. I need to have more fun!

    i just want to be loved and to love in return.

    that is all i have ever wanted.

    love ~ L

    Lexie,
    This is sooooooooooooooooooo difficult to process. I am so sorry that this happened. There is no reason that if he had any kind of compassion or inkling of an idea that he wanted to prove to you that he is transparent, he should have given you the passwords. I really support how you suggested he give them to you at that very moment. You called him on it immediatly. As hurtful as it is, his response gives you the answer.

    He is the king of Richard Craniums!!!!!!!!!!

    Translation:
    Richard Cranium is another way to say Dick Head!!!!

    Lexie,
    Do you think he put a tracking program on it before you got started? I wouldn’t put it past him.

    no… that’s not his MO. he never looks. never checks. never begs or pleads or anything. and I mostly got the TAB for my biz.

    but……. he’s packing!!!

    YIPPPEEEEEEE!!!

    (very noisely- so, I’m sure to hear him)

    and he informed me that my car is dripping oil.
    he’s worried about me paying my taxes and getting my figures for the end of the year together…

    guess what dude?

    you are dispensable and disposable too.

    flush.

    Ha! Listen to him trying desperately to make you believe that you can’t get along without him! What an arrogant idiot!

    So glad you kicked him out. Stay strong girl. I wish we all lived nearby . . . we would all come over and help him pack. Wouldn’t that be fun!

    Much love, Claire

    Lexie,
    I am so sorry you are going through this. Stay strong. Show him how fine you will be without him. After all, haven’t you been “without him” for quite awhile?

    Love you!

    SOOOO MAD for you!

    BUT

    Jumping up and down cheering!!!!

    **Go LLL**

    What a gaslighter he is. You will be fine, he knows this. He is trying to pull you back into your daily automatic responses, where he counts on you to be the stable caring person who keeps the world turning for him: The car is we’re out of …, for God’s sake, the man is really scrambling. But you know that already.
