Time to move on, she already has begun the process.

If he won't take counselling seriously I'm not sure you have many other options. He has trust/insecurity issues that you can't talk your way out of. He needs help, but he needs to want to be better or it won't stick.

It does, but it doesn't change the bottom line.

"staying for the kids" means teaching your kids this is a normal family dynamic and they should stay with a crappy partner just like mommy did.

Liz has every right to not want to continue the friendship. If she had romantic feelings for you (secret or not) being friends with you may be painful for her, so the best course of action for her own mental health would be to end the friendship.

Literally the first time in my life I decided to watch some football on my own, I tuned in to the Bills vs Bengals game right as the ambulance was on the field.

Glad he's doing better, I thought someone had died for sure when I first tuned in.

You have to get ahead of it and tell your husband the whole truth. Then look into filing harassment charges if Noah is still pestering people.

But this is a "reap what you sow" kind of situation, so there isn't going to be an easy quick fix.
