My g/f during the D process from his first M was "dating" a MM (her OBGYN!). OMW knew what was going on and after confronting my g/f didn't work she did something so creative it got my g/f to dump OM. She bought my friend a lifetime membership in a reputable dating service! My g/f actually met her next H through that dating service.

Anyone else know of creative ways that have worked to get the OP to back off?

Well, right now I'm anonymously sending job openings to the OW from various online boards. If I could afford it, I'd buy her a outplacement package so she could update her resume and find that great job and move the heck on.

I wasn't clever. I threatened OM with further exposure and manifest physical harm if he ever threatened my family again.

No so creative as your friends OMW but effective so far.

I got rid of the alliance between OW and my WH by insisting my H apologize to OW's H .... which pissed off OW big time .... broken alliance ---> OW felt my H would no longer protect her by covering up their affair.

Maybe not too unusual or too creative .... but direct and honest. AND very effective !!!

I threatened OW with exposure to everyone in her life, including her kids! Of course, I never would have told her kids, but I did have her cell phone records and she knew I had numbers for her brother, parents and current boyfriend on there. I just acted very, very crazy and said if she ever called again I would contact each and every one of them, including her employer and let them know what she was up to. By this time, my H was not contacting her at all, but she kept calling him and sometimes he would talk to her.
