believer, zizzycool, christyV, toomuchcoffeman, melodylane and others....
Here it is guys:
.....I love you,
You asked me not long ago why I wanted to love you. Well, when we first met, I saw a young girl with a beautiful smile. When I saw you for the first time on the balcony outside of that apartment 26 years ago I new you were the one.
You must undertand I married you for life and I want to stay married to you. I am willing to do what it takes to be the husband you've always wanted and to address the things I did wrong in our marriage.
The affair is so painful for me that it will destroy any love I have for you. In order to protect those feelings I must end all contact with you.
When the affair is over I would love to talk with you about our future. Until that time please respect and understand my wish for no contact whatsoever In an emergency you can reach me through my brother at ........
Love,
Thanks to star*fish for a great outline of a PBL. And betrayed by 2 for some phrases.

End it? -
I am honored. Just wanted to say good luck - I am waitng for some more responses. But I forgot to include my intermediary - So I thank you! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
Keep strong - I'll be there on June 1st. I bought this really beautiful card it just says "LOVE" on the front w/ a real rose embossed into the paper. I am going to put my PBL into the card, hand it to him at the security gate & head off into the sunset <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> (aka onto my plane) LOL.

Sounds good to me. It is important to keep it short and sweet. Otherwise the WS sometimes misses the whole point.
Are you ready to go to Plan B? It is hard at first, but gets much easier. Also there is a Plan B thread here. Lots of people here in Plan B.

Not meaning to nit-pick, just trying to help.

Sounds good to me too. I wrote about 2 more paragraphs, and in retrospect, I wish I had not done that, because he is so lost right now, he could barely comprehend what I was trying to communicate to him.
Short, sweet, clear, and respectful...I think it works.

Thanks Guys for your review!!
Left the paln B letter in the mailbox of her parents house were she is staying. I was surprized how hard it was for me to do that. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />
Approx. 1 hour later she shows up at our house and rings the bell and walks in. She said hi to me and I to her. She told me "that was a nice letter". <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />
WW said she has to get a board for our youngest son. I get the board while she is getting some of his clothes. He is staying overnight at a friends house tonight. She said goodbye and that was it.
Is she being a smart a**? I don't get it. Did I miss the mark? I don't think so! Is her fog so thick that she doesn't realize?

They often make lots of contact after receiving a Plan B letter, that is, until they really see that you mean it.
