Hte O/W is calling him while he is at my daughter's house babysitting. Should my daughter call block her calls?????????? At this point does it matter whether he would get mad or not?????? Opinions......

Yes, have her block the calls, and at this point it certainly doesn't matter if he gets mad or not. HE IS A MARRIED MAN CHEATING ON HIS WIFE AND USING HIS DAUGHTER'S PHONE FOR CONTACT WITH OW. YOU, and only YOU, have the right to be mad here. HE IS IN THE WRONG.

Different perspective.
She can do what SHE wants to do, BUT she will risk losing her "babysitter." That might really put her in a bind, because you have indicated you are not able to step in and do it.
Honestly, blocking her calls will have absolutely no effect on the continuance of the relationship between the OW and your H.

I know this will have no difference on the continuance of the relationship, but for my daughter to allow phone calls from another woman coming into her house with her 10 yr. old daughter to know this,( she is very aware of happenings going on), but she thinks her pop pop is down my moms house.This would be very wrong to me and to let it keep going on would seem to me like she is giving a green light for her father to continue this relationship. Yes, you are right, he might get mad and will not babysit, but don't you think out of RESPECT for ME, the phone calls should be stopped from coming in????????? Let her give him another cell phone like she's been doing and call on that if she must. But I think she has alot of guts and nerve to even call there and he has nerve to even allow it with the kids there.......Last night he came here for the birthday of the 3 yr. old and had the gall to say she doesn't call him at all. He is still sticking to that story that he is just renting the room from her and nothing more....He is sick. I said "Good-buy, call me when you stop lying to me," and turned around, walked away , and closed the garage door. He is a pathological lier at this point.

What MB Plan are you doing? It doesn't sound like either PLAN A or PLAN B to me. Let us know what your PLAN is so that we can try to help you. It is important to try to follow the MB principles in order to be successful.

lefty, why wouldn't your daughter just tell her father that she does not want his OW calling her house? A 10 year old doesn't need to be exposed to his sordid behavior. How inappropriate. After she tells him, I would then block the calls. She shouldn't tolerate his sleazy behavior just to get free babysitting.

I must need help. I just went to an aa meeting because I am co-dependent and have to learn to think of myself. There are no co-dependent meetings close by so someone said to go to that meeting instead. My husband seems obsessed with this O/W. Could I suggest him going to that type of meeting and treating it like a obsession???????? Ya know, I called his cell phone as soon as I came home from that meeting.........I can't believe I did that.........Why can't I just leave him alone. My own husband is like an obsession to me. But he doesn't want me now and I can't get it through my head to leave him alone......What is wrong with me............. I am like a bomb today, ready to blow up.
