Cheating husband ruins trust

My husband and I have been mar-

ly spoke to each other. He kept a
lot of secrets and lied about ev-
erything.
I started snooping around and
found out he was having two on-
line affairs. I confronted him, and
he became angry, as if it were my
fault. He made me feel terrible, so
I let him walk all over me and was
miserable. He claims these “af-
fairs” were the same as looking
at pornography, but he’s wrong.
I know one of these women, and
they were both sending him text
messages and racy photos. Last
month, he cleared out half of our
bank account and won’t tell me
where the money went.
After that, I told him he had
to stop or the marriage was over,
so he trashed his phone and now
he rarely gets online. But I can’t
help thinking, given the chance,
he would do it all again. I love
him and our family and believe
in keeping our marriage intact,
understand why his behavior is so
damaging, and work on ways for
you to trust him again. As always,
if he refuses to go with you, go

THE DAILY ASTORIAN • THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2015

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Sometimes
you just have to do the job you have in-
stead of the job you wished for. The good
news is that once you commit to hunkering
down, the hard part goes by quickly.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ve seen
the attitude you want — someone you
know is wearing it well. Guess what. It will
look even better on you. A change of atti-
tude will bring a change of circumstances.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you win
today’s challenge, you’ll get a prize. But
if you lose, you’ll get something far more
valuable: an education you can apply over
and over until you can win and win con-
sistently.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re
someone’s hero, and the responsibility isn’t
one you take lightly. Even heroes need a
break, and this weekend will provide you
with one, eventually — although not before
Sunday.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Anyone can re-
sist authority, and most do at some point.
But resisting authority with grace, style
and effectiveness — now that’s remark-
able. You could pull off such a stunt bril-
liantly today.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). No one can
judge a performance that hasn’t happened
yet, and that’s why you should refrain from
making assessments before you get out
there and prove what you can do.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re think-
ing big, but you’re starting small. This is the
best way. Incremental gains have staying
power. You’ll avoid future trouble by doing it
right from the ground up.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Most

things that are available for purchase lose
value immediately after the buy — most
things, but not all things. Search out rare
gems. You have a terrific sense of what’s
going to be collectible.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re
willing to sacrifice for the team as long as
it’s a meaningful sacrifice. You want to get
to the end of the day and feel like it really
mattered, if not to you, then to someone
you care about.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). In time
you’ll learn what everyone was thinking to-
day — the good, bad and indifferent. Wait
until then to judge it. Now is the time to get
involved to the point that you couldn’t care
less what the others think.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your cos-
mic bonus will be time with people who like
you for who you are. This frees you up to
do your best in the ways in which you are
compelled rather than in the ways that are
expected of you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re even
more magnetic and mysterious than usual.
This attracts all kinds of interesting scenar-
ios. For instance, someone from your past
could return wanting another chance with
you.
FRIDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 9). You still
have the magic. In fact, you have more of it
than you did last year. Stop doubting yourself
and get busy. A new area of study will lead
to better income and improved living. One
friend will open up your social life to many
more. December through February requires
great discipline, and you’ll be rewarded for it.
Cancer and Sagittarius people adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 5, 40, 20, 16 and 38.
