That is a big if, buddy. How would WW know what is going on in OMW's head. You should learn to never listen to a WW.

the only reason i believe this is because she told me this when trying to save her own job. She was pleading with me not to tell OMW because that would lead to divorce, which would lead to trouble for her at work.

Just called OMW a few minutes ago and left a message, also sent her an email, hopefully she calls back.

What did the email say?

Was Steve specific about how to do it? Use the chat logs? Or keep them secret?

He just said to tell her what i know, and if she doesn't believe me, then offer to send the emails.

From personal experience, I would try to get her on the phone rather than just drop some mail. OM will try and explain everything away.


I called and left a message, then sent an urgent email for her to call me. All I said was that we need to talk about WW and OMW.

OMW's cell is turned off.

I want to call their house phone, but don't want my # to show up on the caller ID. Anyone know how to block your number from a cell phone?

*67 doesn't work for AT&T wireless. It wouldn't even place the call.

apparently, caller Id blocking is a feature you must purchase.

call went through with *82, but my number was visible. That might be the code for blocking the name only.

I believe it was *69 for AT&T. I thought *67 was for redialing the last number to call you. Either way, show up at her house if you have to.

I was wrong, I had it backwards. They might have a feature on their phone to block out private callers (i.e. usually telemarketers).

Anonymous Call Rejection


Sometimes callers - for example, some prank callers - choose to block their names and numbers from appearing on a Caller ID display screen. If you'd rather not take a call from someone you don't know, you won't have to with Anonymous Call Rejection. If you receive a blocked call, your phone won't even ring. The caller will be told you don't accept anonymous calls.

Take the Anonymous Call Rejection tour



Close allPrint allTo activate
PICK UP the phone and press *77.


Note: In most cases, AT&T Texas, AT&T Arkansas, AT&T Missouri, AT&T Oklahoma or AT&T Kansas depending on the service address, automatically turns on Anonymous Call Rejection for you when you purchase the service.

To deactivate
PICK UP the phone and press *87

AT&T doesn't allow for anonymous calling anymore, and most anonymous calls are blocked. Who cares if you number shows up. You'll get in touch with OMW eventually if you are persistent.

Stop by and pay her a visit. OM will pee his pants.

looks like i'll be going home tonight without telling the OMW. I don't want to confront WW about anything until the OMW knows, because the first thing she will do is warn OM, and then tell me not to tell OMW. I think it is probably just better to act like nothing is wrong until the OMW knows, you guys agree? I am also going to re-expose to WW's mother and sisters, but want to wait on them too, since they will call her immediately, and then she will again tell me not to tell OMW.

Yes, but you can also expect that OM's W will confront OM tonite and ask why you are calling.

I don't think it much matters, you've set it in motion.

Ok, I'll bite.

Why is recommending exposure in an affair that is about to go physical a bad move?
