grey area of online chattingi've been out of the hipmama loop for awhile, but want some feedback have any of you ever engaged in online chatting that borders on inappropriate (re: naughtiness)? and how did you reconcile it? i know DH and i have loads of issues (his conversion to catholicism and restrictions on our sex life) and what i have been doing is avoidance, but an old fling has been messaging me and i'm indulging in it more than i should.

thanks
you've told me what i have needed to hear. i should use it as a silver lining and address the issues directly. i feel like i have been so "good" about this for so long and this is an easy way for me to be really "bad" and get out some of my anger (misdirected of course). i love hearing the nos and reasons why and it's helped.
thanks!
I agree that the intimacy issues are the super big problem here.
So what if someone tells you to stop. Could you?
People need to be touched. For their health, they need to be touched. It is abusive to deny intimacy to your partner, and in my opinion, what your husband is doing is abusive...whether under the guise of religion or not. I think that he would benefit from some serious counseling, and so would your relationship.
Your husband has to change. You don't deserve this. You made a pack to stick together for better or for worse, and you should give it your best shot...but you've gotta be touched. It's just a human necessity. No cyber fucking is going to satisfy your needs, btw, so this will just begin to snowball if you don't get some counseling for it now.
Sorry that your husband is having some mid-lifey crisis. You don't deserve it, but maybe there is some growth for you in it. (Yeah...I gotta try and see something positive here, sorry). Can you get counseling with him? And not through a Catholic person?

"It is abusive to deny intimacy to your partner"
i vehemently disagree with that assertion. i don't believe that any human has a _right_ to any other human's body/heart, and i do believe that to insist otherwise is abusive. {frankly, i think somotaphobic, erotophobic religions are abusive, too, and people who use them to attempt to control other people in their lives are just spreading the abuse around, but that's a whole 'nother thread.}
that said, i do believe that all humans need intimacy with other humans to be sane and healthy, and you are seeking that. however, monogamous or not, catholic or not, i would say that if you have a problem in a relationship, it is not going to be helped be embarking on another relationship, cyber or not. if your husband is unwilling or unable to meet your needs, then perhaps the solution is to end that relationship. whatever the solution is, it should be found and accomplished before you begin something new, imho.

Stop.
Just stop. Focus on figuring out some shit between you and husband.
That old flame is showing your life disrespect if he flirts with a woman he knows is married. Loser.
OK, did that help?

Alright
Quit that now. Seriously. Unless you plan to have a moment divulging the indescretion to your partner, you'd better just quit now while you aren't in too deep.
i don't think it's grey
i think that online cheating is cheating. there is no grey area. that said, i remember you, and i will reiterate my advice that your problems with your dh have nothing to do with catholicism. your need for intimacy will win out over any sense of fairness or loyalty to any man. you've been dealing with this for a long time. your need is human, i'm surprised you lasted this long.

come out
Ok
so stop.
You know this old fling just wants to get in your pants, even if only your cyber pants. So stop doing this.
Oh yah! do the naughty messaging bit with your husband instead, that'll help re-kindle the flame in your marriage.
