Hey Forum. Have been recovering with FWW for since Nov2012, with mostly good news to report. However, we had a bizarre turn of events that turned us upside down for a few days. FWW has done her part, maintaining NC and rebuilding our lives together. DDay was Nov2011, after a 10 yr A. Out of the blue, a text from POSOM arrives, wishing her "Happy Mother's Day. ISWFY" If you google that term, be prepared... I discovered the phone record the day after the text, and found that FWW had only just seen it that next AM, and was waiting to alert me at an opportune time during a break in her busy work day. I wasn't pleased at the delay, and became incensed after we both discovered the meaning of ISWFY. We had a rough night. Here's the twist. Next day, I receive a LinkedIn invite to become the POSOM's "contact". I don't know this guy - This is like pouring salt in a wound. I can't rule out that the POSOM didn't do these things, but now WE are VERY suspicious that there may be someone else meddling with this guy's accounts. Some background: My original source for the A (sadly, a little late...10 yrs) was a FGF of OM, who admitted to me that she'd hacked into his email & phone records over the yrs & discovered the A-- several times over the 4 yrs while she was dating him. What's puzzling with this scenario is that she said she'd "moved on" from this POSOM, and isn't even in the area. My FWW and I have accepted that this is the likely scenario, and calm has been somewhat restored, but we're a little on edge still. I'm sure there have been bizarre twists to recovery before, but this sure seems to be one of them.
Me: BH 53 FWW 49 Married 29 yrs DDay Mid Nov11 In recovery - thank you, MB!

Where is that "hell is coming" clip? Why and who would want to mess with you like that? Ramp up the snooping. You will feel safer if you can verify NC. If there is contact resuming, then you will need to take action. Be like James Bond. Cool and in control.

You are on the road to recovery. A deviant has no effect on this process because you won't let it. You won this, man. He just cant take his loss. Savor the win as he dreams of what you get whenever you want.
I think if this all the time when i get mad. I think that my w om is stuck with what hes stuck with as i get my wife. Simple, i know. But no one has ever accused me of being deep.

Well, file this under, "I Wish I'd...." Lat year, when POSOM tailed your FWW home in her car, you had the opportunity to...impress upon him...the new reality that he was to live with: that any attempt to contact your FWW would precipitate on him certain (unnamed) negative consequences. You instead sent a surrogate. You are now given what few of us are ever accorded - the opportunity for a second chance. What will you do with it, my friend?

If it were me, in the interest of making it clear that my wife has no intetest in him and that what he has will be but sweet memories of your wife, i would show up at his home, work, or anywhere he is to give him a physical reminder.
The program allows for one warning to affair partners that its over. A msg such as what he sent requires a strong response in terms of fists and Louisville sluggers.
Please, effing please, let me catch my w om trying to call, text, email, even smoke signal her something. Im begging.
Hes really just asking for a beatdown.

Thanks for the comments, and the concerns. I'm realizing I have a date error.. DDay for us was Nov2011.
For the record, I did call OM within a single day of DDay, and made it clear about NC, and he clearly understood this. There was also a VM I left which was "crystal clear". When he tailed FWW a month later, I did send a very able surrogate, who was much more "diplomatic" than I would have been. On Monday, after seeing the outrageous text, I was fully prepared to confront OM, and lined up my able bodied surrogate- you'll have to trust me on this- together we would make a very formidable "problem". But when that LinkedIn msg came in, we re-evaluated what was going on here, and have enough doubt about the players that we have put the brakes on confrontation. Turns out it's easy to spoof a text msg & it's easy to hack into an account with weak Passwords. Particularly by someone who's done it before (to the OM who has sloppy security habits) - and who may have malice in their heart. I'm pretty convinced that it's the former GF who's up to no good. Like Bond, my guard is up... it's been WAY up since DDay, and I'm in control. Thanks PokerFace, for referencing one of my favorite good guys!

Why wasn't your W's phone number changed???????????????? Change both yours and your W's contact numbers, emails, everything. Do you live in the same area.? Dr. Harley will recommend moving in a lot of cases. I can find a radio clip if you'd like.

sad dude, i don't know about you, but i tend to be a hoarder of data. i would hang on to that linkedin invite, because if it does turn out to be from him, you have a major form of retaliation available to you via the "write a reference" (or whatever the term is they use). and i would go whole hog on that booger.
and if it's someone else playing sillybuggers...well, that sucks eggs. what an a$$ hole thing to do.

OK, Letty, I'll hang on to the LinkedIn invite. Good idea. It was suggested by some worthy vets that we change our ctc numbers and/or get out of town. We're local business folks, and have to maintain a visible profile, so we've opted not to change. I realize that it's a risk, and doesn't align with MB principles & solutions, but we've put in place a series of MB things to restore our relationship and make us "affair proof". Besides this, we need "time" to work its part of the miracle, like its done for so many others. Tried to call POSOM a few times yesterday eve, and had to settle for a VMail with little info except to call me back. Will try again. I want to ask him directly if he initiated these contacts, or someone "hacked" his accounts.

I realize that it's a risk, Don't need to change the cell phone number? Huh? This shocked me so much that I went back and read your first thread. I think you got very good advice there that you need to revisit: http://forum.marriagebuilders.com/ubbt/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2592493&page=5Your W had a 10 year A with this man and he is still in town? OM has as recently as Feb of this year chased her down in his car? I am sorry, but I see red flags all over this. I hope that you two will implement REAL extraordinary precautions...as there is a serious lack of them presently. And until then, I agree with Pep that GPS should be put on her car and you need to watch her like a hawk because this is at high risk for reigniting.

I hope this is true. Put a GPS on her vehicle. Do not tell WW. Put spyware on her computer & her phone. Do not tell WW. Cancel any credit cards WW may have that you cannot monitor. WW must agree that YOU control all the family finances and all the bills come to you. Chances are very very high that this adultery/affair will fire up again once the infidels think you are not paying attention. No matter WHAT WW tells you, she is a high risk for rekindling this adultery. YOU must remain vigilant for many many years. If you do not GPS/spyware as advised, please get yourself re-tested for STDs every 3-4 months. Your unwillingness to take aggressive actions to protect your marriage will keep yours a HIGH RISK situation !!!!

Saddude, every contact that your FWW has with OM has a chance to reignite the affair. You shouldn't be taking any chances.
Has your FWW sent OM a NCL?
Was the affair exposed far and wide?
Do you really believe that OM is going to tell you the truth?
Are you two following any MB plans for recovery? Does your FWW have a list of EPs?
Changing the phone numbers should have been a minimum.
