[QUOTE="tammyjh, post: 129076, member: 3072"] Just my opinion on the texting matter and that is that once trust has been broken, its very hard to get it back and even when trust is restored, its never the way it was. I went through a similar situation with my husband about 4 yrs. ago. Its a long story but I was very hurt because his contact with an ex girlfriend was purposely kept secret. As he was drinking heavily at the time, he didn't even try covering his tracks and I found out about the contact by accident. She lives very far away so there was nothing physical going on but it was the fact that he was hiding something from me that hurt. It was all kind of messy for a while but we were able to work through it. He went through rehab and spent a couple of yrs. going to AA. He's not keeping secrets (that I can tell anyway) and he doesn't drink. He's thrown himself into working hard for this family and what speaks to me most about his commitment is how he's one of the best advocates difficult child has on her side. Only wish she knew it. So, while your boyfriend might think your reaction is over the top, its really pretty normal. And with you being sick right now...EVERYTHING is a much bigger deal. When you are feeling better and more rested, it may seem a tad more trivial. Just keep the lines of communication open and try to be kind to each other. Take care and be good to yourself. Hope you are having a better day. [/QUOTE]
