Dan says: "Not all "other women/men" are pieces of shit, but anyone who would allow her married lover to spend that kind of money on her in eight months is a flaming piece of shit."
I just want to disagree slightly with that. It is very possible that Heartbroken's husband misrepresented his financial situation to his lover and she had no idea she was draining his savings and credit.
Heartbroken, if you're reading this (and if I were you, I probably wouldn't read the comments): I'm really sorry this happened. I, too, would be able to (and have!) forgiven affairs, but could never forgive being dragged into serious debt against my will. That's just unbelievable cruelty.
Everyone's talking about what you should do (lawyers, counsellors, etc.) but what does your husband say? Does he feel bad about his debt? Has he suggested some kind of workable plan where it could be paid off with a second job or something? Has he show initiative to fix his mistake?

SL Letter of the Day: Worrywarts.
@12. The vaccine covers several strains, as I mention, so if you are young and single and sexually active, it can be a good call to get it even if you aren't still a teenager. That is what my doctor told me, at least.

To all those who thought Dan's advice to LW1 was unrealistic: I don't agree! The LW had kinky sex with his wife before the baby, and wants to keep going on the kinky trajectory. While that might have been possible, the baby put sex on pause. It does go on unpause after awhile.
I know from experience! I had a baby 15 months ago, and the kinky sex with my husband went out the window for awhile. We still had sex, but for a few months it was, let's face it, a lot of mediocre quickies. It was important to stay connected, but you're pretty exhausted. Now that the baby's a little older, the kink is starting to work its way back in. This will happen with LW, too.
She may never agree to let him fuck a chick-with-actual-dick, but the chances that she'll start pegging him again, and engaging in pretend-play where she has a dick, are very high if he just waits the baby period out.

Right on! My now-husband and I used condoms for seven years and they are awesome.
LW1 is a terrible friend on a group of terrible friends. Why would you follow your friend around, chasing away people he's picked up? Who does that?!?

Apparently We've Got the Whole Catholic-Sex-Abuse Scandal Thing Backwards.
Also, clearly, this priest is a boy-fucker himself. Priests who aren't boy-fuckers talk about how there aren't that many priests who do it, and that we have to forgive, etc. But priests who are doing it themselves talk about how the boys are asking for it, because that is the fantasy that runs in their heads.
Also, he's given us a handy timeline! 10 or 15 years ago when this wasn't a crime.... that's when he was doing it.
