It is 9 days since EA D-Day. I am a little screwed up and WW has asked if I could give her some space for the weekend. So I am out of the house.

Last night I started to do some research, and I thought I was ready but it was brutal how much time she has spent on the phone with this guy all the time right under my nose. I started researching the numbers she spent the most time on and they all were his.

I found that out by calling one of the numbers and got his voicemail. I didn't leave a message. However my number left a trail and he recalled it an hour later. Then he called my WW and then WW called me and in tears and said that now she has nothing, because she has ruined our relationship and now he is gone.

I guess he called her and said "Get your boy off my back!" and that the thing they had is over.

I know my wife is in a fog, and I told her that I love her. But I am very scared. I see a shrink today, hopefully I can get some chemical help to calm down enough to sleep.

Anyone with some good stories regarding confronting the other guy? Unfortunately he's not married. He really is a arrogant [censored].

ReallySad - This sounds promising. Hopefully he will be out of the picture. At least he knows that you know.

See the doc and get some anti-D's. They really help. Also over the counter Benedryl, when taken at night will help you sleep.

Don't confront him, that could lead to problems.

You've probably done all the confronting you need to.

If she needs space, she can leave. Do not make it easier for her to continue.

Ok so, my wife has my kids she she has been away from them for a while. I am across the street, literally. One of the reasons for the EA is my wife has felt threatened by living so close to my Parents. They are out of town so literally I am across the street. I was in plan A.

So you guys think I should not give her any space?

As for screwed up, I mean I can't sleep don't eat, working out is nearly exhausting to just think about, (2 weeks ago) I worked out 6 days a week. So yeah all in all I am a little screwed up.

Its hard because everything is hitting at once, but all I want to do is break down in my wife's arms again. I really love her and need her.

If you're across the street, all the easier to go back where you belong.

If she wants space, let her get some. Don't do it for her.

What did they do? Threaten her to have an affair, or else?

You know Wat, (get it HAA)

Thank you, its so funny how things can get soooo screwed up. But the way you put it yes it seems a little silly that my wife had to call OG 3-5 times a day because we live across the street from my parents.

Thanks and I will try to go back soon.
