In this country they do not publish phone numbers nor who they're married to. I will look at getting a PI. I question at times whether I should just let it go and move on especially if my wife is adamant about divorce right now.

I emphatically suggest you not let it go. The reason she is adamant about a divorce is because the affair is either active, or there is a plan to resume the affair. By exposing to the wife and his family, you will wreck that plan. It will be harder for him to contact her and it will ruin your wife's fantasy about resuming the affair if those on his end know all about her.

The KEY to saving your marriage and eliminating the fog is to run the OM. He will never be effectively eliminated until you reach his family.

Thanks Melody. If she's truly in withdrawal (which I really do think she is) could she be saying these things about divorce and really mean it or is she still in the "fog"? I will expose it to OM's wife with a help of a PI though.

Oh, she is still in the fog. And yes, she really means it, but the desire for divorce is due to the affair.

Almost all companies and organisations put their workers online. It is almost impossible for this not to happen. My husband and I have never had any form of social media (not even LinkedIn), and we were both listed under our roles. I found OW's husband in his company role, just by knowing her name - and he lived in another country and speaks another language.

Stop finding obstacles that do not exist, and just get it done.

SugarCane unfortunately this is the type of company that does not. I understand you're trying to help and thank you for your input but trust me I'm doing everything I can to help myself. I don't know the OM's wife's name to look for her. Also with LinkedIn it does not tell you their relationship with their connections on their profiles.

Well, there's a brush off if ever there was one!

Well, I don't "trust you", and I don't believe that you are doing all that you can.

I did not know the husband the name of the husband in my case, either - but a bit of searching revealed someone with the same surname who could only be her husband, because of some fact that I won't go into here. You do not know what you can find if you don't spend time looking.

I didn't tell you to look at LinkedIn - I only said that I am not on any social media, including that one. Why are you responding with that point?

I think you don't want to expose to the wife. For some reason you are frightened to do so. Well, you're allowing this man to fly into your area and have sex with your wife whenever he can. Good luck with that.

Is there a reason you don't want to expose to his wife? Usually when a BS puts up this many obstacles, there is another reason. I have been here every day for 15 years and helped thousands of people do this; never had one who couldn't track down the spouse of an OP. But I have seen several who made promises to their WS to not expose.

Everyone I'm doing everything I can and want to expose it to the wife but again the OM does not have any social media profiles. The only one he has is linkedin. I've exposed to everyone that I could minus the OM's family which again I cannot find. I'm going to hire a PI to see if I can find OM's wife and family but as it stands I can't find information if it's not there.

I would expose to every linkedin contact he has, especially those with the same last name. I would ask each one of them to have his wife call you directly. Almost everyone I know has family and friends on linkedin, not just coworkers.

Only problem is that I would need to make a connection with him for me to see his connections on linkedin. I have tried it but he refused my connection.

You can get the names of many of his contacts if you look under his "skills." You can see the names of anyone who has endorsed him.

Then make up a fake linked in account that he would connect to and use that to get his contacts.
