WOW!!!! I am impressed. Good going, Pebbles.

And how do you feel now? Elated? Terrified?

Ooh, I wonder what WH will say? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Alph.

Thanks, faithful follower. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Alph, I don't know how I feel. Relieved? Anxious? I am sure WH will be livid when and if he finds out.

But....is it too late? Will it make any difference now? I'm sure WH and MOW will put a spin on the information to make it look less incriminating.

Pebbles,

Be careful and be prepared - MOW will most likely paint you out as crazy and making things up. You may want to find out the parents' address and send them a follow up note that includes a date/time stamped copy of your Petition for Divorce. Invite them to check the current status of your marriage with the local clerk of courts' office.

Hi, Pebbles.

So, what do you think?

I think that you are a steely-eyed hero of biblical proportions, and that your conflict avoider is so dead that the wind has blown all the ashes away.

Great job!!!

Now it's time for some workplace exposure for both of them. Let's let the bosses know.

All the best,
Gimble

Pebbles ~ Good job hun!!!

Now batten down the hatches, be prepared to hold your boundaries against angry attempts at contact.

Hi, Brit's Brat

I'm sure she will. I like your idea of a follow-up note. I do have the address. The divorce petition also includes the date of separation, signed by WH. That will show that we have not been divorced for over a year, as WH claimed to them.

Pebbles ... *YOU* "da'MAN"

This is awesome .... !!!!!!!

Good job, Pebbles! And I love BritBrat's suggestion to send her documentation. Maybe you could also send pictures of your family?

Hi, Gimble.

Thank you for the hero compliment. At the time, I felt more like jello than hero. I hope the call causes some trouble (for the 'lovebirds,' not just me, LOL).

Remember how we thought WH's hitting bottom would involve an explosion of rage? I think if anything would cause him to explode, this would be it. I'd better be very dark for a while.

MOW works for an auto parts chain store. I'll call each one and ask for her, until I find the one where she works. The bosses may be interested that the affair took place during work hours. Should I send a letter addressed to the boss?

Thank you, Bramble Rose, Pep, and MelodyLane. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Great idea, MelodyLane! Pictures of the kids would make it very personal. That's another reason I'm glad I got to speak to the mom - woman to woman, mother to mother - it made it very personal, and hopefully more effective.

Pebbles- if MOW works for one of the BIG auto parts chains, it is likely they have a corporate ethics and compliance program. Contact their headquarters to find out and ask to be connected to them. If they do not have such a program, ask for corporate security. Whichever one you connect with, tell them what you know about the affair being conducted on company time. Don't waste your time at the store level - likely nothing would come of it.

Regards,

Brit's Brat

Thanks, Brit's Brat. I'll look into that. I wonder how seriously they will take me, though. It's worth a try, I guess.

*************
I was just thinking...I may not hear anything from WH about the exposure to MOW's mother. He is such a conflict avoider that I may never even know if he heard about it.

I wonder.

I think it would be a good idea for a little while to tell the kids not to unlock the doors for anyone, even their dad, and that they should come and get you. Do this eevn if it means bending Plan B.

If you have a close friend, ask them over to spend the night for a couple of nights.

Everyone made excellent suggestions about the documentation and photos. Also, as Brit said, the higher up the job chain you can expose, the better. Business people don't want this kind of publicity. I certainly don't.

You should have seen the fireworks when I caught one of my employees having an affair with one of our customers - on my time.

You did the right thing, expect fallout. Deal with it. I will be monitoring until late tonight.

God bless you and your family, Pebbles.

Gimble

You are awesome, Pebbles! I admire your determination and grace. I would love to do anything I can to help, including running a more detailed background than is available to ordinary civilians *pats self on back*. This would include names and addresses of close associates, as well as info on her. Let me know if you're interested. (I was going to offer you one of my Japanese aunties, but Gimble beat me to it.)

wow Pebbles.. you're brave!!

Dunno if MOW will actually stop the A but at least her mom now knows.

*hugs pebs* you are an excellent woman....i have friday and sat off....need me to drive down?

Gimble, are you thinking that MOW is trying to recruit Bam-Bam to take care of her parents in their old age?

Pebbles, have you been more successful in your job than WH lately? This has nothing to do with racism, it has to do with cultural diversity <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Oh MAN! Japanese and Christian?? That sounds like WH and MOW are going to get an EAR FULL!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I think you would be surprised what an atagonized WS can do. I'M NOT, HOWEVER! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />
