I’d really hate this for my wife and our family. Maybe it was a mistake to tell the OM’s wife. My wife was angry and continues to blame me. I tried to get her to leave our bed but she refused. I need her out and it will help me somewhat with moving forward.

Someone said earlier that exposure is like fireworks and it seems to be the case. Just craziness around here right now.


Maybe telling OM's wife was a mistake? Hell, you have been told so from many of us. Now your W is pissed at you for the stuff she did. She found a scapegoat in you. And as a added bonus, she is united with OM in her internal movie US vs. THE WORLD.

Now butt out from her affairs (pun intended). Not your monkey, not your circus. The more you mettle, the more you will catch heat. You have your own growing to do. Get your a$$ in gear and let her be. You cannot do anything to help her or your situation, but you sure as heII can make matters worse.

^^^Yup^^^ All you can do now is put as much distance between you and your W as possible. It's all her mess to deal with.

By the way, do you have a lawyer? If not get one. Explain everything to them and ask for advice. Your W could be out a job and career very soon, if D is inevitable then you may want to pursue it sooner rather than later because divorcing an employed W is going to be a lot gentler on your finances then divorcing someone who has no job and maybe no career.

Yes I’ve already received advice from a lawyer. I think I’m fine due to the evidence I have etc... I have retained one anyways just in case. He is one of the best in our area.

My wife isn’t going anywhere and for some reason if wanting to keep me as a backup plan I guess. As I move forward she gets angrier that I’m not falling at her feet and trying to constantly comfort her.

I’m thinking it will take a lot of patience for this to play out.

BB,

Are you willing to be her backup plan? Have you set your boundaries? What do you want for yourself and your future?

Your WW is on a long path of self reflection. Get out of her way!!!! She's wants sympathy, poor her!

Her new lines, "I made a mistake"
"My life is ruined"
"Why did you tell his Wife, you didn't have to tell her"
"I'm not a bad person"
"Stop treating me like a criminal, everyone is treating me like a criminal"

Get out of her way! All those terms above is from a person looking to be rescue from the DESTRUCTION SHE HAS CAUSED. Now SHE has to deal with the CONSEQUENCES. It's not your job to RESCUE HER. It's your job to validate and be the light tower.

Validation:

"I made a mistake, it was a mistake" You, "no comment, no need to validate or say a word"
"My life is ruined, you ruined my life by telling his wife". You, "no comment, no need to validate or say a word"
"Why did you tell his Wife, you didn't have to tell her" You (If you want to be honest, "because she asked me and could no longer live with this lie.) No comments after that.
"I'm not a bad person" You, "you are not a bad person"
"Stop treating me like a criminal, everyone is treating me like a criminal" You, "You aren't a criminal".

Keep moving forward, keep posting.

It's hard because I feel like I need to help rescue her and its the opposite. She has to rescue herself and find it within herself.
I've got to move forward.

Well Books-A-Million doesn't have the books in stock. Someone earlier suggested Divorce Remedy. Which book should I order? I'm going to print Sandy's rules again and read over them. Divorce Busting principles I am assuming are doing 180's and following Sandy's rules.

Detaching would be letting go of the relationship meaning not relying on her for emotional support and finding happiness within myself and living my life. Spending more time with my son and re-focusing on my job and other commitments.

GAL - Spending time away from home or doing things to grow. Ex: Going to coaching seminars and playing golf.

Any advice would help. Going to be hard as she has texted me all morning wanting emotional support etc... She called and I quickly tried to get off the phone which she did not like. I also made her sleep in the other bed last night as it helps me with letting go of the relationship. I don't trust her and really don't feel like being let down again.

I checked her phone and noticed she had used her App store very recently so I assumed she may have downloaded an App to talk with him, which is what I caught her doing last week but she didn't admit to it. She downloaded a texting app and then deleted it from her phone. She actually gave me her phone trying to be transparent but didn't think I would notice.

BB,

Coming here helps prepare you for the pain and hardship. It's like training for a deployment. The training [censored] and we know that the deployment will suck, but we also know without the training we will be in for a world of hurt.

Coming here is preparing you for the deployment. It's not going to be easy and it's going to suck, but you will come out the otherside faster, stronger and smarter and go into the pain somewhat prepared with the understanding of what may take place.

Keeping moving forward.
