Update...
Friendsgiving went well... went out of town to visit a friend, and slept on a couch for 4 days. Happy to be home, but going on a much longer trip again this weekend.
WW e-mailed yesterday saying she lost her cell phone while on her work trip, and needed some information from the joint plan to replace the phone. Thought about replying with the tough sh*t route, go figure it out yourself or get a plan with OM. But felt like that would have just escalated the situation / tension. I did end up helping her with the necessary information.
Some reflections / thoughts so far...
Been reading thru some of the older threads by other folks, I'm envious of people who busted the affair via exposure. I keep thinking I should have exposed to OMW, even though OM is now getting a D anyways. I'm envious couples with live-in situations where there are opportunities to DB on a daily basis. I feel like right now we have so limited interaction, seems like occasional text every 2-3 weeks now, it all seems like it's just slowly fading away.
Was wondering maybe I should have let WW move back in when she mentioned it 4 weeks after moving out (it's 10 weeks now), but I really needed to gain back some respect and provide my non-negotiable boundaries at the time, since I had been a doormat up until that point.
Maybe I'm bartering again, or forgetting how painful it was everyday listening to lies and her not coming home some nights. I wish I would have discovered DB and 180s earlier, rather than making the situation worse for 2 months after BD.
Question...
I believe WW is going on a trip with her family later in Dec. As I mentioned earlier, her parents are aware of the initial discovery of the affair and text. Her parents are pro-marriage and upon discovery were sympathetic as they would ask me if I was okay and hugged me.
However, I have not spoken with them in 10+ weeks, and I assume they are now aware of the situation escalating since I skipped family functions over the holidays. I was debating whether to meet up with them to update them on the situation, and let them know where I stand so they don't think I am abandoning the MR. My concern is that it will travel back to WW, and it comes off as pursuit.
Thoughts on whether I should talk to the parents?
Should I have said tough sh*t to the cell phone ordeal?
