If you have a close friend, ask them over to spend the night for a couple of nights. Like an Oakland Linebacker! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I remember the psychotic look on WW face when OM19 was suddenly gone. I think it's safe to say everyone in the house was surprised. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> Take care young lady.

Hi, Gimble. You did the right thing, expect fallout. Deal with it. I will be monitoring until late tonight. Well, so far, no fireworks, none that I can see, anyway. I am hoping the doo-doo is hitting the fan a few miles away. I am keeping everything locked tight around the house. I will tell the kids not to open the door to anyone, including their dad. I have some male neighbors on speed dial who have volunteered to help me should I need backup. Hmmm, this might be a good time to take the kids on another out of town trip for a few days. Tomorrow night is WH's night to have the kids overnight. Son has a friend overnight here, so he is not going. Daughter still does not want to go by herself. If she gets out of going, I doubt we'll see WH for a while. His next pick-up time would be next Wednesday (which is also our daughter's 10th birthday). He rarely calls in-between pick-up times. We'll see if he makes an exception this week. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> God bless you and your family, Pebbles. Thank you, Gimble. I am so blessed to have you sticking by me through this. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hi, 'Neak.
It sounds like you have connections! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I ran one of those Intelius background checks on MOW. That's how I found out her husband's phone number, her maiden name, and that they are not divorced. It also listed all the places she has lived. She gets around!
Thanks for the offer. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hi, Ashley88. wow Pebbles.. you're brave!! Thank you, but notice it did take me 78 pages to do it. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> Although, I did just now find out her parents' phone number and address. The mother told me she and the father had moved here about two years ago, so it is possible the number could not be found by the searches until now.

Hi, Pebbles.
Quote: ========================= Gimble, are you thinking that MOW is trying to recruit Bam-Bam to take care of her parents in their old age? =========================
I don't know about that, but I am about 97% certain that she is playing your hubby, and does NOT love him. I bet I could guess the dynamics of the relationship now, with excellent accuracy.
The absolute best thing that could happen right now is for your hubby to drop her. She would come unglued. As is, it is very likely that she will drop him. If so, he will pine.
Fun stuff.
Edited to add: I think a trip to the beach this weekend would be a great idea.

Hi, Sleepless. 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="" /> Alas, I have one of those jobs that is rewarding in all ways but financially. WH makes a lot more money than I do, but now he will be giving a good chunk of it to me each month. If she is counting on him to provide for her and her parents, she will be sadly disappointed. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> She has a rather low-paying job herself. I remembered something else MOW's mother told me. She said, "This is so upsetting. Family is everything!" I agreed with her and told her that my family was everything to me, too. Oh, she did tell me that her daughter had been separated from her husband for some time, so I guess she is okay with her daughter dating - just not a married man. She did not seem to know WH and MOW's future plans (getting married as soon as divorces are final, moving in together, whatever). From your story, Sleepless, I know that WSs can turn psycho. I'll keep my eyes open and watch my back. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hi, Gimble. I bet I could guess the dynamics of the relationship now, with excellent accuracy. Oh, oh, please guess. I love this kind of stuff. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I find the psychological aspects of all of this fascinating. I hope one of them drops the other because of this. I can't believe he told her parents he had been divorced for a year when he met them a year ago!! That's exactly what he told me about her - that she had been divorced for a year. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Edited to add: I think a trip to the beach this weekend would be a great idea. I'm liking it better every minute. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Edited to add: I am trying to keep my expectations low. So far, any exposures I have done have not amounted to much. This was the first time anyone seemed morally outraged by the news, though.

Hi, Pebbles.
Regardless of what anyone says, this exposure counted.
Work exposure will too.
You did good.
I am going to rest my brain for three or four hours.
God bless, Gimble

Which court did both the WS and OP get their divorce from? Courtyard @ Marriots? LOL!!!!
Ok, so you exposed. Now sit back. Give the exposure time to work it's way into the A and then eat it up. YUCK!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />
Give me her mom's #...... LOL!!! I would love to remind her of not only how important family is but to many raised in the oriental traditions, SHAME is one of the worst things one can bring to their family. The daughter's loose morals can drive a parent to great ends. One of the bad things about us orientals is we tend to get too focused and then want to just 'end it all'. Yea that harikiri stuff is for real. Not sure how and why it is so imbedded in our culture. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> YIKES!!!!

(((Pebbles))) WOW! That just about says it. Look how strong you are. You have come so far, You should be very proud of yourself! It took guts to do expose to her parents. CA no more!!! Take care of yourself and the kids. Time for some of Orchid's reverse babble...I thought you would want to share the happy news with her family too..despite having a wife, kids and responsibility you found the happiness you deserve with their daughter. Just makes you want gag with pride. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Hi, Gimble. Regardless of what anyone says, this exposure counted. I hope so! Son's friend just cancelled on the overnight tonight (he got grounded), so it looks like both kids will be going to WH's for an overnight. I really doubt WH will come to the door, and Thursday morning he will be on his way to work, so he'll probably just drop the kids and take off. I am dying to know if anything happened with the exposure. I doubt WH will give any indication. I'll just have to wait and see, I guess. We have been at the orthodontist most of the day so far, so I haven't been able to do much about work exposure yet. I'm going to rest my brain for three or four hours. I hope you had a good rest, Gimble. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hi, Orchid. Which court did both the WS and OP get their divorce from? Courtyard @ Marriots? Either there or from the court jester, LOL. Yea that harikiri stuff is for real. Not sure how and why it is so imbedded in our culture. Quite a contrast from how WH's family reacted to the affair! They thought it was 'sad,' but were resigned. WH's mom said with a sigh, "Well, this seems to be the new morality." <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Ummm, not for me or my family! I don't want anyone to "end it all," but an end to the affair would be great. I hope MOW's parents abide by the traditional values - and that MOW and WH are not able to fool them with 'spin.'

Hi, confused42. Thanks. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I definitely did not avoid conflict this time, LOL. I thought you would want to share the happy news with her family too..despite having a wife, kids and responsibility you found the happiness you deserve with their daughter. Just makes you want gag with pride. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> And just think, when he decides to carry on a double life as their son-in-law, he will be kind enough to keep it a secret from them, so they will not be shamed! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Now, a total change of plans for tonight. Kids! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> My son's friend apparently redeemed himself and was un-grounded at the last minute. He is now here playing Game Cube with my son. As soon as the friend got here, my daughter asked if she could call her dad and tell him she didn't want to go to his place tonight (one hour before he was supposed to pick her up). I gave her the phone, she went into her room, then came out and said it was okay with him. I wonder what she said.
So, that's two Wednesday nights in a row that have been cancelled. In the last three weeks, WH has had the kids for one day and one night. Well, now he'll have more time for MOW!
Edited to add: I asked my daughter how it went on the phone with WH. She said, "All I did was tell him I didn't feel like going over there." She has such a way with words, that girl. I wonder how WH felt hearing that? Again, more time for MOW.

Contacts? Why, yes. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I'm very sad my influence only extends to the borders of the US, because I would have loved to be able to help Alphin, as well.
If it weren't for the site rules against advertising products, I would set up a little cybershop wherein all MB folk could get background checks at cost, and I would get to be an A-slayer with notches in my belt for each nasty A I helped disassemble. But I digress.
I keep trying to think how my Japanese aunties would handle it if they found out their daughter was cavorting with a married man, and I'd swear that even the most docile of them would get out the rolling pin and start whaling away, jabbering in Japanese all the while.
You are just doing so good, and are an excellent role model for how to sail through this miserable experience, panache intact. Must run, DS4 just fell asleep, and that is a very bad thing. Take care!

(Pardon me, I just finished the latest Harry Potter book...)
Let me get out my crystal ball...
The mist is clearing, aaaahhhh, I can see.
The phone is ringing...
MOW: Hello?
WH: Hello! The kids are gone for the night and wondered if you could come over.
MOW: Sounds good, but my parents want to talk with me about something, they say there is something I should know about you, is there something you haven't been telling me?
WH: Like what?
MOW: How should I know what? Have you been lying to me?
WH: No, you know I'm honest with you. Let me know what they say...
The mist envelops the scene.
Plan B is about you setting up your lawn chair and watching the paranoia unfold...
An A's foundation is upon lies. It's only a matter of time before the partners begin to turn on each other. They either decide to stay or they decide to work it out with the person they have history and children with.
Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance!
