I know the guy my H is going out with and I like him. He always calls this "guy" when he wants to go out... Is this an innocent dinner or do I wake DD and stake him out???

Not so much of a stake out just checking on the cars!! I know H's car, OW's car, and friends car.

Please help. They are meeting at 8pm... Side note - he told me he is putting on sweats, but he is also shaving his face.

To stake or not to stake??

If your H were going out on a date with the OW, would he call you up and say he was going out to dinner with OW? Or would he say he was going out with someone else?

You don't need to ask us these things; I know you have the ability to figure this out.

Can you get a sitter for the baby?

I'm in no way qualified to give advice, but could you call the other guy up at 8:15 and see if he is home? If he answers, etc. You could use a calling card, and then the number shows up as some random long distance number if you are worried your WH will think you are checking in on him. Disguise your voice, be someone else, etc...have a friend call for you.
That way you won't have to get baby out and about.

Shaving to go out with a "guy." Think about it. Would you shave your legs to meet the girls for dinner?

If you call this guy you may not learn much. He may be supporting your H's antics.

Go there and I agree with Melody..find a sitter...

I say go--now is THE time. I think you'll regret it if you don't go. I agree with the sitter, too. You'll be calmer, and if you do see OW's car, you won't have to deal with a little one when figuring out waht to do.
Are you bringing a camera to take a pic of his car and her car? Otherwise, he could deny it no matter what--but a pic is proof he can't deny.
Hoep I am being helpful.
When I suggested calling, I was meaning not saying you were WH's wife.

Okey - dokey - peace out. Will let you know what I find. Not really feeling that I am going to find a darn thing this evening, but willing to to do this to save my marriage. DD will understand some day and she will be very proud of her mommy for fighting so hard!!!

I hope she contains herself and doesn't approach him. Hopefully, if he is with the OW, she takes digital pic [with the flash turned off] from far off, along with a picture of their cars.

Where else do you think he could be? Would he be at OW's apartment? Do you know OW's phone #? Can you call there from a payphone and ask for her just to see if she is home? Or better yet, I think you can disguise your caller ID by punching in *67 and then your #. See if she is home. If she is home, you could drive by and see if your H's car is there.
