Morning all

You will have to excuse me if I have the acronyms on my signature incorrect, could someone point me to a glossary of the acronyms.

I am Irish living in the UK, with an English partner. D-day was 24th April, we have both had previous marriages, DS9 from her previous marriage. She started her affair Jan, I discovered by getting a knock on the door and being told by OM's W - which sounds worse than it was - WW was away for weekend with friends shopping in Manchester, so I has plenty of time to cool down. I haven't blown my top, which really confused her. After 2-3 weeks of good discussion, found she was still texting and phoning OM, demanded halt and implemented Plan A. She had serious withdrawl, but appeared to snap out of it last weekend.

After the initial car crash, its a good start to a long journey.

How's NC going? Did you send a letter to OM? Are you both reading through the site?

As a Fww I found the book Surviving An Affair VERY helpful. Is she actively reading affair materials?

To the best of my knowledge NC has been kept up (I am very logical, I haven't been with her every second of the day so I donot know definitely), she sent a text message 10:02pm 17th May to OM. I have read the site and she has read the bits I have pointed her to and read further, I have printed sections out and we have read together. We have read a relate book, After the Affair, it was OK, it introduced me to the fact she was going to experience emotions relating to OM, then the website introduced me to 'withdrawl'- knowing these things has been beneficial in how I have related to her.

I have to start up another thread, otherwise I will have people shouting at me.

To give you a laugh..

Still implementing Plan B with 1st wife - haven't spoken to her in 10 years, actually think its our 10 year anniversary around now ("I'm not bitter" said in my Irish accent).

Actually, Me, WW, exWW and exWW's OM were at a mutual friends wedding about 5/6 years ago, exWW was squeezing past WW at the bar and gave her an almighty thump in the back - what was that all about?

Me and WW laughed about it.

LOL - you're pretty good at Plan B then.
My implementation of Plan B with the exWW, think frightened the current WW. She once said to me "..but if we split up, we would still be friends?", to which I replied "We will reference the kids, but I aint telling you what I 'm doing, nor do I want to know what you're doing" - this is said in a firm voice, we are in Plan A and its going well.

She has been depositing love units again, so we are going in the right direction.
