I made my first call today, to my friend's mother, who has been like a mother to me since my mine passed away and also has known my H since he was a teenager.

She was in shocked especially since she knows all three that are involved. She also didn't know the OW marriage has broken up either.

While on the phone to her, her daughter (my friend) called. She has call waiting and told me she had to take the call since her daughter is going through the same situation that I am.

My friend seemed to have the perfect marriage and she probably thought the same of me, I'll probably find out that infidelity has touched more lives around me than I can imagine.

I tried to make more calls, but nobody seeems to be home. I'll try again in the morning.

I'm trying friends who know all three of us first, then I might have the courage to call his brother. That will be one tough call but he already knows we are separated but not the reason.

That's the call that will rock the boat.

Good job, keep calling everyone. Don't forget the OW's H.

I made more phone calls today. One of my friends said "keep exposing."

Many couldn't believe my WH would do such a thing. When I revealed who the OW was, everything seem clear to them. They always felt there was something about her they didn't like. So I wasn't alone in my feeling about her.

I tried calling family members but they are not home. Maybe tonight.

I'm realizing how many people care about me and want to help me through this.

Still a little nervous exposing to family members since blood is thicker than water. I consider his family, my family, so that will be a tough one. I told his parents the day I found out, they have been supportive, but they are the only ones who know the OW, so they know all the lies and games she is playing.

BTW, the OWH knows about the affair, I only spoke to him once since the A was expose and it was business only.

The OWH filed for divorce, put their house up for sale, shut off the phone lines, cancel their credit cards, etc. He knew before I did, and the reason for him knowing was the reason my H told me about the A.

The only address I have for the OW is a P.O. Box and the same goes for my H. They have different boxes in different states. I feel they are living together, but don't know for sure.

I know exposing will anger WH, but guess what I have nothing to lose. I'm not doing this out of anger, I'm doing it to save my marriage. So I know I'm doing the right thing.

Good job!

You are standing up for your marrige.

Be sure you include THAT fact when you expose further...

Good job.
