I haven't posted in a couple weeks, but here's my situation summary: D-day July 11, WW in PA with OM since February. They are still seeing eachother and trying to hide it from me and OMW. OM and WW and OMW all work together at a law firm. OM is a senior partner and WW and OMW are partners. Affair is completely exposed at the workplace --- none of the major players there seem to care, in fact may even be supporting it. Both couples are in MC but no real progress being made. My wife and I have two young girls (3 and 5), one of which just started school. WW has said she is not ready to work on marriage --- I asked if she wanted a divorce and she said "I don't know." She has said she is just staying together for the kids. I have been trying Plan A but this recent incident was too much. She told me she was going to Houston on business but instead flew to Nashville to spend day/night with OM. I confronted her about this and told her that this has to stop --- it's hurting our children and I cannot deal with it much longer. She accused me of threatening to take away the childre. Basically just got angry at me --- typical. She comes home late many nights and I am left with the kids and my heartsickness. She will not move out and I will not move out because of the children. I have tried to talk to her about ending the affair but she is still fogged. We seem to be at a stalemate --- I don't know what to do next. I feel like I should continue Plan A, but I can't ever get to Plan B because she won;t leave and I shouldn't leave.??????????

jgoat, instead of plan D why not move her out and go to plan B? YOU keep the kids and let her fully feel the consequences of her actions. Does OMW know about the recent incident?

Yes, OMW knows. I don;t know if my wife would agree to move out. I couldn't afford to stay in the house by myself either

What do you plan to do if you D? D's are expensive and you still won't be able to afford your house by yourself. Does your state have legal separation? You may be able to get temporary child support order in place to help with expenses.
