To Hippocampus,
I guess I now know why Dr. Phil is living "HIGH ON THE HOG"! HAVE WE BECOME A NATION OF FOLLOWERS, NON-THINKERS.......I see us looking everywhere except to ourselves for answers.I guess that just makes it easier to get out of the responcibility of taking control of our own lives with no one to blame.....our mothers....our sneaky uncles.....our clergy.......our teacher.......it would be all on us....wow what a concept.

My friend if he is cheating on you it's time to let him go, and do it now before he brings into your home an unwanted social disease. He is what we call a "slut". No other way to describe his life style.

You have only been with him for a very short time. The longer you stay,the more your self worth will decline.You will start to blame yourself for his infidelity.
On the other hand, he will eventually meet someone who will look at you as a challenge, and pressure your partner to leave you, ( or your partner will start to blame you for his problems, and decide that he just has to get away)
The foundations of this relationship are built on shifting sands.The destructive way your partner has acted, will cause it to crumble.The one thing for sure,is that it will end badly. So, it's your choice. Leave now while you still have some of your self esteem entact, or later, when you are emotionally battered by his abuseive 'addiction'.

Hippocampus needs to protect himself by playing it cool in regards to romance until the divorce is signed & sealed. His soon-to-be ex knows she's been the shitty side of the TP & my worry is that she's encouraging him to get his dick, & therefore his reputation, dirty before the court proceedings.
If he has a good lawyer he probably doesn't have to worry... but you never know. Maybe she's hoping you hook up with someone you've known for a while (like your old flame) so she can argue that you've been seeing her all along.
Stay clean, man - you have the rest of your life to get dirty.

Whether people use others' names in email depends on where they grew up. I have been using email for about 30 years, and most of my correspondents *never* put the recipients' names in their messages. After all, the system already puts that information there, and repeating it just takes up limited screen space. On the other hand, I'm familiar with other communities that got started later in the email game who treat email like paper mail, with greetings, signatures, and the whole nine yards.
So I think being upset because someone doesn't use your name in email is the like being upset because you don't like someone's accent.

A minor point, not such a big deal, but "meth mouth" is a crock. See: http://www.slate.com/id/2124160/
This doesn't undermine the advice given here, but there is no sense in contributing to government and media anti-drug propaganda and hysteria.

I rarely use people's name in emails except for greetings and erotic ones. Her name is already in the email address+"From" field. I think she is asking too much. Maybe she can ask him to use naughty/non-naughty pet name. She admitted her name is boring, why torture the guy? On the side note: we should all switch to numbers! :D

Erin,
Love the column, as always. However, you’re too soft on Irresistible Belief and Hippocampus. When one partner cheats on the other, it’s time to go. Period. Next. Reconciliation, couples therapy, giving/taking one’s space, etc. is all just a waste of time, energy, and money. These sad sacks need to man up and move on.
