I'm beginning to think you're here because you enjoy the intellectual debate, not because you are in a desperate fight for your marriage. You're actually joking about this, with the "bridge" comment. I can assure you that nobody is joking with you about how spineless you are being, and what the consequences will be.

I went to OWH because, while I was more than happy to ditch to my own immoral, gutless adulterer of a husband, I would not let an outsider (OW) push me into that decision because she would not stop contacting my H. I would not let actions her force to me remove my children's father from their home. I would give my life for my children, and in your position I would certainly risk a beating (from whomever to whomever) to give them the chance of keeping their family intact and their mother at home.

You might be enjoying bantering here on your thread but your cowardliness concerning your children shocks me.

Be under no illusion about how seriously I'm taking this. This broke me, shattered me, and now I'm trying to make sense and sort it out. I am also trying to protect my family in the best way I can figure out.
If I come across intellectual, I'm not apologising, it's my job to be an intellectual.
I'm here like we all are or were. To get help and to help, to talk and to share. A cowards way out would have been to leave but I'm still here, and listening.

And if I'm writing vain attempts at humour, it is only a vain attempt at sanity. Like most BSs here, I've been to hell and back. Add in this [censored] situation with families at war (that I haven't seen much of on the forums before) and perhaps I can be forgiven for bad jokes and poor justifications.

I didn't say that you "come across intellectual", so don't brag about being an intellectual. I said that I think you are here because you enjoy the intellectual debate; quite a different assertion.

It takes no courage to post on an anonymous internet forum. It takes no courage to enable an affair by helping the affairees hide their dirty deed.

If you are not going to take our advice, then why are you here? You have read other threads so you know what the advice will be. There are so many people here who need help and are sincere about saving their marriages so this only serves as a distraction.

Now that makes sense.

Sugarcane, it's a possibility but I trust my sources on this one (especially as one source was from their "secret messages" and another from a friend who doesn't know about the A)

You're missing an important point, here - you haven't brought anything onto your family. Your WW has. It's too late to worry about that now. She's already done it.

A well aimed and potentially accurate 2x4. Small correction though, they didn't tell me about the potential trouble, I found out most of that through my snooping.
As for Fog, probably. Possibly made a bit thicker by no evidence of contact between them and also improved relationship at home.

Have you ever watched the movie "Zombieland"? Do you know what the #2 rule of Zombieland was? Double tap. I don't care if you think you killed the affair without exposure. You need to pop a bullet in the head of this affair just to make certain it doesn't come chasing after you again. Exposure is that bullet. Use it. Finish it off for good.
