This is an exit affair, does this tactic still work, when she believes she has her mind made up to leave? I don't think her mind is completely made up, but I am no mind reader.

Get rid of the various "Suppised" Affair definitions. They just muddy the thinking.

All affairs can be exit affairs, or just a piece on the side.

Break Up The Affair.

Exposure done. Plan A will not be easy with limited contact.

Anyone one his list with the last name of of his, anyone co-worker, and anyone in a relationship - almost 50 people.

"Dear friend/family of **edit**

It grieves me to write this letter, but I believe all of his friends should be aware that *** is having an affair with my wife, **** We have been married for 10 years. They have been having this affair since July 2014.

I would ask that you use your influence with **** to persuade him to leave my wife alone. It is unfortunate that he is no friend to marriage. I want to save my marriage and keep my family together.

Thank you"

Billman,

In your email to Dr. Harley, did you tell him about your other child and how the girl got pregnant?
If not, you will need to email him again and tell him. Ask if he recommends that you take a polygraph as part of Plan A and what specific questions you should answer.

It is extremely important that you follow his program to a t and do not deviate from his plan at all.

Just found out from her brother that she had recently broken up with the OM, then took him back. I do not have any other details about this, but it sounds like good news as far as their breaking up. My emotions are under control and I will do nothing . But MAN do I wish there was. The sooner they end, the better my chances.

Very few affairs last longer than 6 months.
So the odds are, their affair will die.
Did you email Dr. Harley the question about the polygraph?

I pray the affair ends before Christmas. not that we would get back together that quickly. But at least then I may be able to open presents under the same tree together....maybe.


I did yes. No reply yet.

Could the exposure have been what pushed them back together?

We talked for a short while today. My wife says she does not understand why I was so think headed, and unable to "hear" her when she told me what she wanted. What would be a good read that I might suggest to her to assist her understanding that I as a man am more normal than she'd like to believe?

Sir,

Stop listening to her wayward garbage.
Have you ever had a conversation with a drunk? I learned as a teenager that it's a futile effort!

This is what I suggest: Just tell her this sentence: " I am willing to work with you to create a loving healthy marriage but you must first end your affair"

According to Dr. Harley, exposure speeds up the death of an affair.

I don't think we are ready for that part yet. I would love the idea of putting my foot down here, but I am not sure if she is ready to "commit" thus far.
