I think that my WW is out with OM right now. I have a feeling that she will admit this to me tonight. What is the best way to react? I'm going through Plan A right now.

Part of me just wants to be aloof about it -- "oh really?" -- and drop it. Another part of me wants to get mad -- but I know I can't show that side.

Any suggestions?

WW: "Yes, since I KNOW you're wondering, I was out with HIM...but I don't want to hear anything about it, I'm tired and going to bed now!"

YOU: "Thank you for being honest with me. Since we're trying to rebuild our marriage you know that hurts me deeply. We could have had a nice evening together watching this DVD I rented. And look, I baked you chocolate chip cookies but since you were gone...well, now they're cold and hard. You're welcome to them anyway, they're your favorite. Good night, dear, sleep tight."

From what I can tell, the point of Plan A is to make your WS realize what they're missing when they are with OP, to make yourself more attractive than the OP, to show them how stupid and misguided all their fog talk is.
