You sent the Plan B Letter to his Facebook friends? Why would you send the Plan B Letter to his friends?

What did your letter say? Did you follow the Plan B template?

Also, how did your WH get a message to you? I thought you were going to get an IM? I thought you had him blocked?

Have you exposed on OW's side yet?

I sent the suggested EXPOSURE 101 letter template tailored to my style. My personal FB is dark. But in order to get a hold of my WS FB friends list I created a fake acct to gain access. While I was in middle of sending out my letter via private FB msg people were telling him and OW.

You did the right thing. Him freaking out is the exposure working. This is what you WANT to happen. The angrier the WS, the more effective the exposure.

Ok so you sent the exposure letter and not the Plan B letter.
I thought you had already exposed on his side??

So who did you expose to on her side? Any family?

He's intent on going thru with the divorce. He unfriended the fake FB acct. She deleted hers.

Not sure if this backfired. He's angry and more intent that we be done. But no where did WS say he loved her etc...

I did the exposure to only their coworkers...I did not send the plan b letter to them...I sent the exposure letter to their coworkers...I do not have any contact info for the OW family....best I could do was expose to his family and their shared coworkers.

He admitted during dating that he cheated on his previous wives...but when he got sober he became a born again Christian and he would never go against Gods commandment. I have never had an affair.

Given you had been married less than two years before your violent serial cheating husband walked away, I would not fight this divorce. Your H is not good marriage material given his track record. I hope your child is not a minor and is exposed to him. Sorry but I recommend you cut your losses.

Good job on finally exposing.

Now I would get into a dark Plan B and no more contact. Have you seen a lawyer yet? Is the RO still active?

The angrier they are is a sign of a direct hit on exposure.

I have filed my response to the divorce with aid of an atty. Plan b has been in effect...I just finally got up nerve for exposure. He is mad...she is only pissed cuz I outed her and created chaos with her coworkers...but while I was copying and pasting to friends list WS and OW started private messaging me. So there was some contact yesterday. She is apologetic...didn't know WS was married...but now she knows he has an active RO...til next month. It might not chg much because while she didn't know in beginning he was married she does now and 'can't help how she feels about him'....yuck.

WS said he knew of letter to his mom...now the work exposure letter that he is starting to hate me...that divorce can't soon enough..that if OW leaves him we will still be divorced...interesting thing about the few exchanges on private message is that no where did he say how HE felt about her...only how he didn't believe ME about reconciliation. Odd. No where did either mention they loved each other. WS still blames me for everything. Lame. But overall was an interesting exchange between WS and OW...to me..OW is weak link. She deleted her FB page immediately. Probably only temporary...but she got scared and deleted it nonetheless. She was commenting to me from WS FB. I feel it was humiliating to both but it seems more for her. Not sure this will change a darn thing other than the lies my WS was telling to all his coworkers was exposed. But I feel good for getting the truth out there.
