I thing W is still in contact w/OM, but is only a hunch. What do I do? If I am wrong, and keep pestering, it will drive her away. I am trying to plan a but it is hard. Suggestions?

She can't, he is Italian, and we would have to hand deliver it (we live in Italy).

Why not? They don't deliver mail in Italy?

he is Italian, and we would have to hand deliver it
So she CAN write a no-contact letter.

(we live in Italy).
What does this have to do with anything?

You answered your own question. No one said you had to stop snooping, but don't get caught. That would constitute a LoveBuster, just like pestering is, without proof. Trust is not just "awarded", it is earned by the WS.

If you have genuine concerns about continued contact, do what you need to do to prove to yourself that no contact is either NOT in effect, or it IS in effect.

I believe my FWW has not had contact since Feb 26, 2004, but I still spot check e-mail, snail mail, if she's out and I don't know where, I'll drive by the OM's house, I still have a phone recorder and I still check her odomoter. The trust I had in her after nearly 30 years of marriage was "shattered", and I won't be caught with my "shorts around my ankles" again.

I am not obsessed with checking, and just do it sporadically, but, it's just part of what I do, and who I am, post A.

Hope this helps...

SD

I second SD--snoop. It's either going to confirm your suspicions or reassure you.

The first time my WW told me all was over. I persited in my snooping and my to my dimise I found that things had moved forward. I still do checks on a more regular bases though. Like I know they spoke 48 times last month via phone. Not what I call backing off or NC.
