My WS forwarded and email entitled "Love Is..." and it's all these cute quips from 4,5,6,7 year old kids about what they think love is.

He sent it to me AND the OW.

Both.

Together.

Same email.

There we are together on the heading.

I REALLY needed that this morning since I was on my way out to see the D lawyer to get advice in case we end up taking that road.

I laughed ALL THE WAY to the office.

Hope it made you smile too

WH just popped up on IM to say hi and I got up the guts to say

That was a really sweet email you sent about "Love Is..." Why did you send it to (OW), too?

He said- I sent it to everyone I thought would like it. She likes mushy stuff like that. I think I also sent it to (my BF).

I said No...it was just to me and her.

He put a question mark and I said anyway....and changed the subject.

I saw where he then logged onto his new private email account. Probably emailing her.

I hope he's shaking in his boots.

I'm a WS, hold the phone, I am not incredibly stupid.......

Almost offended, but too stupid to be

kyellow4, now you may have noticed I specifically used the word when describing WSs as "CAN" be soooo incredibly stupid. I did that as to not offend any of my FWS MB buddies. Of course I have to be honest and say that I still find actively fogged out WSs to be dumber than dirt. OK, I said it! I better sign off before I no longer have any FWS MB buddies. CV

So now you have OWs addy? If so, find an article on infidelity and e-mail both of them..... accidently of course. Or better yet, where's that joke about the wife, the furneral and the dog? LOL !!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

When my H was wayward, he sent me 2 or 3 email jokes, both to me and OW. My name always appeared first, then hers, then anyone elses he sent it to. Each time, I got sooooo upset. BUT, I didn't say a dang word to him about it.

Well, I did recently, now that he has defogged. I said, "Why did you do that? What were you thinking?" And he just wasn't. He said the same thing your WH did. He thought it was funny and that we'd enjoy it.

I have heard that for some unknown reason, WS try and get the BS and OP together. Strange. Of course, the OW in my case was my supposed "Best Friend." Ouch.

Hang in there, girl. He's so foggy, he can't see past the end of his nose.

AND, my H set up a private email account JUST for her. She was the only address in that account. Pretty sick and twisted, IMO. I think our H's are similar. SCARY!

In that respect, though, my H and I are in recovery. Have hope. These things do work themselves out.

CV55,

I have to sneak in here and say the actively fogged WSs are dumber than dirt. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> I can say that because I IS one at the moment,and you would be correct.

I swear I don't know what I would do without this board.

You guys help me make it through even the tiniest steps forward and steps back. I'm all alone, ya know, hiding this awful secret for 8 more months until WH comes home.

Honestly, I'm praying for his heart to be convicted and him to confess before I ever have to confront. Does this ever happen? It seems like everyone's stories usually start with "Well, I showed him the evidence....." and not "He came to me and spilled his guts and asked for forgiveness..."

Am I being unrealistic?

Trina, I don't know what the MB wise ones would say. I am struggling myself right now and don't have a clue what I need to do. I will say what my experience was. H, who always was an honest man in our 25 yrs. together, lied to me from May 2003 to Feb. 2004. The ONLY reason he began to come clean is because I sent him several e-mails in Dec. I didn't know he was having an A, but told him if he wouldn't talk to me I couldn't go on in a loveless M. I think in his gut he knew I would leave him. So in Jan. he began the truth telling. I had to confront him with my snooping to eventually get the whole ugly truth.

In my opinion the secrecy of the A fuels it. They are in their little bubble world. They are in-love and only have each other to share with. It makes the whole thing so friggin special. In your case I'm not sure what you should do while he is away. I just think eventually the A needs to be exposed to the light. Hang in there! This is all so tough! CV

Dear Trina,

Be prepared for foggy responses from your H.
I'm not sure what you should do regarding confronting him now or not. I guess you should like for counseling here on MB with Dr. Harley if you haven't already done so. But you do have the advantage of being able to PREPARE - I didn't and wish I had !

Hang in there honey... You can have a good life, no matter what happens - take care of yourself !

Thanks to all who shared with me over this stupid email.

Got a REALLY long email from WH...I think I shook him up good asking why he sent it to me and OW. I started a new thread on it.

Gold star of stupidity to WH.....

Trina
