Hi everyone! Thanks again for all your support and kind words...

I talked to him last night, and he finally admitted to me that he had been dating the girl for almost two months.. she was much younger, and they never had sex, but he wanted to... he blamed it on these compulsive thoughts he would have (he was diagnosed with OCD when he was younger, but never sought treatment for it)... he knew the whole time it was wrong, but he couldn't do anything to control it... are alcoholism and OCD related? I should probably also mention that he has low self-esteem issues.

Wow, sounds like a lot of excuses for bad behavior.
But I guess if it work, he might as well try it on you.

You really don’t buy this do you?

Maybe he also suffers from YGS = young girl syndrome.

what exactly are his compulsive thoughts?

alcoholism and OCD aren't necessairly related. . . and everyone has low self-esteem issues.

believe me, i believed a lot of lies before i learned to trust my gut. if you believe them now, expect them to keep on comin ... once he sees he can get away with it with you, he'll continue to do so. nothin better than a doormat.

please keep reading and posting here - you'll learn a lot!

Do not listen to him right now. He's trying to manipulate you. He screwed up. You need to move on.

I just found out today that my xabf cheateed and I am devastated. i am fighting the rationalizations...
It was just one weekend when I wouldn't see him b/c he was so xanax-ed out. he took the first girl swooning over him....they only kissed once. both of them agreed to this...and I am sick at the thought of it.
sad part? I have been so supportive in endeavors to become clean and healthy...he FINALLY went to rehab 11 days ago...5 days after he left I was so releived and then I received an email from that girl. I about puked.
I'd like to believe it was just b/c he was high, but I am highly fearful of reliving that pain.
