BUT...........its widely believed in Plexle's culture that an affair is an affair. Thats all that matters.

in that post those are the words I saw in the keylogger^^^^

I need to study the plan (not sure what plan is)... My gut says that means exposure, NC leter, my conditions and SAA book, and be nice and return his pager.

Did i orient myself good?

cool, calm and collected. You are doing great! smile Just don't bring up the pager. Let him bring it up and see what he says. You will confuse him if you remain cool, calm and in complete control of your emotions.

He won't know what to think.

IF the pager comes up, give it back to him and say you won't endanger him by withholding the pager; that way, you're not being weak, you're being a better person than him.

calm, cool, collected. Everytime you feel like blasting him just remind yourself that it makes the Skankho look good. Staying calm and respectful and in full control will confuse the hell out of him. Tell him this tonight:

"Joe, I am willing to stay and work on the marriage if you will find a new job, end all contact with the OW, and change your life so this doesn't happen again. That means opening up your life to me, being open with your pager and emails, eliminating all "frienships" with the opposite sex. It is only under those conditions that I would feel safe in this marriage."

Just tell him this, Plexle. He probably won't agree to this tonight, but you will have planted the seeds. Don't fight about this. When he gives you excuses, don't debate, just say 'Im sorry, that won't work for me."

It will take a nuclear exposure to get him to change. And even that might not work, but it is worth a try.

Melody you can cuss like a spitfire with American Sign Language, the facial expressions alone are horrendous!!! :o) The passion while swearing is powerful....

I'm a Southern Belle too so oh man, I'm loving Melody more!!! I lived in Waco and no not during that cult freakish time!! hahaha

Melody I need to say this for the record, I don't think exposure is going to work in deaf community but I am going to do it :o)

Gonna do everything I can!
