What is it that he thinks she is just "saying" and not "acting"? Sometimes people go through stresses in life and that's completely understandable. She reassured you both that its nothing to do with either of you and that life is a little down right now. Maybe that can lead to a further...

I'm glad things seem to be working out for you! :)

Huzzah! Congrats!

And I don't think anyone would blame you in such a circumstance. I am one for turning the other cheeek and wish I had as much courage in those situations as some. Hopefully you don't have to experience something like this again!

I would have to agree with Madelyn here, for the most part and it does sound like this was a relationship starting from online gaming circumstances. I've been a gamer for over 10 years now and seen things like this multiple times - Sometimes it works, but that's very few and far in between...

I'm typically a very understanding person in most aspects, but I will never ever understand the contradictions in sexual related laws. There are just too many and it makes my head hurt. Haha This conversation is amazing, though! Thank you for posting it and continuing it!

I agree 100% that it's not an okay behavior for that person for sure! It's how we react that will define who we are individually and as a group. Before allowing our own emotions run how we respond, taking a moment to breathe and try to look at it from a different point of view may give clarity...

Will Smith, I believe, said that "bliss is just on the other side of fear" and went into an explanation about how people spend the night before sky diving all worried about it, but after they are pushed off the plane, the fear melted away and they enjoyed themselves. We fear what we don't know...

I totally read original post as they knew everyone involved and not that it was a stranger doing it. Yikes. If it was someone I knew, there'd be a lot of follow up conversation. If it was a stranger, I'm not even sure how I'd respond to that. Difficult situation and sorry you had to go through...

Welcome!

Marriage is typically acknowledged as a contract between two people. Even when Abraham was with Hagar, Sarah was still his wife. Hagar's purpose alone was to bear Abraham a child, although I'd like to imagine that he truly did have feelings for her. He must have if he created a child with her...

Hi, there! We had a quad for about 9 months - Moved in together after a few months and things were going wonderfully. We even went to group counseling to ensure that our communication was wide open and it was a very good thing (we thought). I bolded your statement about the quad illuminating...

Have you talked to your husband about the fears you are having? I've found that the only way to quench fear is to take fear head-on.

Like LLY said, always assume the best and give benefit of doubt. It will ultimately give you a greater outlook on life! :)
