I exposed my husband to our neighbors who are more his friends then mine, about a month ago. I am a reserved person
So they really do not know me. I think he told them I am crazy or I really treat him bad because they are ok with it. They even hung
Out with him and her and then lied to me about it. It really hurt me. They advised him to get a lawyer. How do you think I
Should act in regard to his friends who are my neighbors?

I just exposed the Affair to his mom, sister, and boss yesterday. I have never been a favorite of his mom and sister either,
I think they have always thought I was stuck up. As part of my changing I am trying to change my reserved ways and be more
Open to people. His mom called and yelled at him at first, but I am sure he told her that I have been treating him bad or something and she will also be ok with it.


When he called me and told me that his mom called he asked me if I was trying to make things worse. I said no I love you. He said well it seems like it. Then he said who have you told, and I said everyone knows, so he hung up on me and I have not talked to him since. He is on a business trip in Canada and she is there with him, so I am sure he is confiding in her right now.

He has had a lot of business trips lately, in conjunction with the time he has been out at night spending time with her; I can honestly say I am starting to fall out of love with him. I have been trying to win him back the past month and put up with a lot of crap from him when we were first married because he was a liar and irresponsible with money. I overlooked it because we were young. In the last four years he had seemed to be the perfect husband which is what has kept me fighting. I am getting tired. Also it turns me off at the fact that he would be interested in her, she is 11 years older then me, overweight, and in my opinion not a good person.

What do I do if he comes home and says he is leaving?
