To all of you who have a SO that knows about your OP usage, I am very happy for you. I unfortunately can not tell my husband about my OP usage. As he is the most unhypocritical person that I know and the drug and alcohol prevention leader for his company, he would have me in the psychiatric center so fast that it would make my head spin. If he were to know and be civilian, I don't think he would have a problem with it, but for now, I just can't tell him. I do have a friend that knows, but we don't talk all that often, so he hears nothing of the OP psycho-drama.

Yeah...it's a challenge being a pain med user and having a spouse who is as straight as an arrow, and is loathe to even use asprin, as I mentioned earlier. I am using a lot less now since she found out, but as it turns out, I'm in A LOT more pain as well. I'll take the improved marriage and three Norco a day over a foundering marriage and six Norco a day. I think as long as she sees me trying to tough it out, she doesn't mind so much as when I was medicating a lot to stay totally pain free. Like I said...definitely worth it.

This is neat seeing this thread still alive after all this time!  I still visit the boards, just haven't posted in awhile.
Hubby still doesn't know about my op usage, but I have a story for ya'll. Quite awhile ago, I ordered from ORX4Less, when they were using paypal. Order came on a Saturday, when I don't get the mail...hubby does. 
Since it was paid with Paypal, it was addressed to HIM. Normally, he won't open it since he knows all my ebay stuff comes addressed that way. But, since it came from a 'far away land'...he opens it. Inside were a Plain white packet,with plain white pills inside. He FREAKED OUT!
He brought it home and showed it to me, asked me what did I think it was??? I said, well...it looks like it has codiene in it. He suddenly says "I bet one of our customers who knows you have migraines had them sent to us"!!!!!! "Next time you get a bad migraine, try one out and see...I'm sure they are ok"!!!
No kidding...But, it did freak me out because at first he was SO freaked out, thinking it was a terrorist mailing or something..LOL!
So, in the end...I have started using a great records op...no more IOP ordering at all. He still doesn't know about that, but I am thinking of telling him soon. I think he may be more 'receptive' to the idea. He did tell me to start looking for cheaper sources for my new 'migraine preventative' topamax...so maybe he's a bit more open to the idea now.
Good luck and pain free to everyone.

Nobody knows.
My insurance makes me get my PCP prescribed meds from a mail order pharmacy & my cat gets vet meds in the mail from another OL pharm, so nobody notices, even when they sign for my stuff!
My spouse is incredibly clueless about medicine & relys on me to make sure his mother who takes 8 different prescription meds has what she needs for the best price. She comes to visit from India with a supply to last her visit, but if she should run out of something I know just where to get it!
That is how i found you all, looking for cheap Canadian meds, ended up buying even cheaper Indian meds (benzos) to make bearable long plane trip, but sometimes now when the old lady is really pissing me off!
I'd love to tell my sister, who has taken alot of pain meds, mostly vicodan, first for her osteoarthritic hip, then for recovery from hip replacement surgery. I've picked up so much now from this forum about chronic pain & opiods, that I could share with her but she would not approve. She really self rationed her vicodan intake as it kept her awake at night. I kept telling her to ask the MD for something different, but she never did.
I'm always researching medical stuff on the internet, so i tell my family & friends "I'm not a doctor, just play one on the internet!" If I had it to do again I'd try to go to medical school, probably end up in jail for prescribing too much pain meds.

"Good-looking" men are not that hard to find.But...they all get old,fat,gray and usually stingy.He could've helped you a long time ago.But what he wanted then,as now,is most likely to help himself.Just my opinion,not having met him,but he sounds like "What's yours is mine and whats mine is mine.I'd think about down the road.I'm an average-looking guy who made the mistake of marrying a "10."(Sorry ladies,but its the only way to describe the most beautiful woman I ever saw.And being a charge nurse,I've seen some real dolls.Never complained about my drug usage(Huge when you know that I had 2 pads of 100 scripts at all times,with nothing but the doc's signature and D.E.A. No. on them.I could write myself 8 ounces of Tussionex with 5 refills and take a bottle every day.Just use 5 drugstores.),but she got upset when I spent more time "high" than with her.She stuck it out 13 years,why I'll never know.For me,drug use and the marriage didn't work well together.And I always used alone,never with so-called friends.If you attracted one good-looking guy,there are millions more.And most (all worth having) are looking for more than sex.Its an important part of a relationship,but by itself tends to have a very limited life-span.Just MHO.

Personally, a male perspective, I think you should keep it fairly cool for awhile. I have been in his same position and used similar "lines" to get back with my Ex. He maybe okay, I don't know why you split, but I do know the grass isn't always as green as it may appear on the otherside.
In my case, I left her for someone else..then found myself alone and unable to find anyone..so it was easier to try to get the one I had..in marriage.
So, my 2-cents..take it slow and see if he wants you for the right reasons..
