Wife just sent me a text asking "What scares you most about my feelings for OM?"
How the hell do I answer that?
See thread "I don't know what to do anymore..."

I had not time to read you thread, however: If you are in plan B you should not answer. If she is still living with you, why is she texting you about this? blessing

Was thinking of responding with "He's impeding on our attempt to return love and passion to our marriage."

I am confused as why you are not in plan B since you are separated now. Anyway, I would not answer. DO NOT answer her. This is not about R this is her wanting to know how you feel about a scum bag. Is there anything to answer about something like that. Be above it all. Do not go down to her level. blessing

You're in Plan A, and she asked a direct question.
Which you don't answer directly ("I hate his guts and most days want to choke the life out of him" is a BIG NO-NO!!!), but instead use as an opportunity to call attention to the fact that you have a plan for marital recovery.
There is hope that the two of you can fall in love with each other again, there is hope that you can recover your M even from this. That's what you want her to hear from you any time she brings the subject up.
OM is nothing.

Went with Neak's suggestion....Here's her response, is it time for Plan B???
"What bothers me Is that you are choosing to believe that my feelings for OM aren't real instead of the possibility that they are real theres a chance I would choose happiness that I feel with OM over the happinness we've shared. I want the chance to meet andrew in person and see if the feeling we shared via phone/aim/txt is real when in person. Or if its just a cover feelings that I've lost from you and our marriage. And I can't determine that unless I meet him face to face, or I will always be wondering what if. I don't expect you to undertand any of this, I'm just trying to express my honest feelings with you on what I'm thinking and how I'm feeling."

That's what she wrote, but this is what she SAID:
"I want my cake, now. I'm going to hold my breath until I turn purple and butterflies pop outta my a$$ until you let me see my stolemeat. So there."

No more texts. If she brings it up again, tell her that's nice and offer a cookie. I would refuse to talk about POSOM from here on out.

I don't know if this is going to be of any value...but I have a strong gut feeling (and when I get those I am usually right) that it will not work out between your W and andrew...and she will be back to you. Then you have to decide if you want such an immature, selfish woman for a wife. blessing

One, I'm about ready to text her the following:
"That's just being selfish."
So my real question is, do I implement Plan B now?
