Since starting this blog I've been going back and forth about writing down what is happening in my life. Kind of like if I see it in black and white I might have to do something about it. Well, here goes anyway.

My husband has a lady friend. I won't say he's having an affair, because he insists sex is not involved. They just enjoy doing things together. Since I'm disabled and can't do all the things we used to do together he wanted someone to do those things with. Now, here's the rub, she is my niece and lives with us and she's 30+ years his junior.

We've talked about it and for now I'm in a holding pattern. We've been married for 40 years and I'm not ready to give up on it all, yet. Maybe I'm crazy, but I love both these people and I'm not sure what I'm going to do. Writing helps and this will give me a diary that no one I know will read. If they do they'll not know it's me anyway.

Gotta go, here he comes.

Re: Here it goes
You are in a painful place right now.  I think it is wise to think things through, in an anonymous blog, to sort your feelings and options out.  I am sorry that your activities are curtailed, but your husband should have compassion on you and choose, perhaps, a variety of people with whom to enjoy his other pursuits.  It is unkind of him to put you in the position of tolerating an exclusive "other" relationship.

But then, that's just from where I sit, with a very narrow perspective.

Thank you. I feel like that, too, but he's blind to anything I have to say. I hope talking about it here and getting some advice and comments from people like you will help. I just don't know what I am going to do, if anything.
