Hi Shattered05,
I think you are still very close to success.
If you can, keep up the plan A…EN LoveUnits… You do not want to have made a bait and switch on him.
A little bit of the 180 may also be in order.

WH just called me from the road. He said thank you for doing those letters for me. He said "You know you are a very special girl right?" I said "No." He said something like "Well, you are. You don't know how lucky you are until you lose someone." Something like that. Then he said "I can't wait to move back home with you."
I took the opportunity to then segue into withdrawal. Told him I've read that he will go through withdrawal and I know it won't be easy for him. I know it won't be easy for him to do the breakup, but I want him to know that I'll be here for him and I'll support him.
He said "umhum"

Good job, Shattered. My WH "tried" to breakup with OW, however I was not too supportive. In fact, I was so angry by then that I told him that he got himself into the mess - he could get himself out.
But I was tired. Mine went on and on and on. I think yours is going to go smoother.

Thanks Believer. I can only do this because people tell me to. It really goes against what I'm feeling inside. I feel so used.

Shattered - Just think about how amazing of a Plan A that you did. You can do this too. I know you can!

He said "umhum" We need some OPEN ENDED QUESTIONS, such as 1. what do you expect her reaction to be? 2. what is your strategy for leaving? 3. how can I help you the most in getting out? I think he is dragging his feet, Shattered. I hate to tell you this. Right now he is getting his needs met in TWO places and is reluctant to give it up. And who can blame him? He has a nice little harem going here. But you did a beautiful Plan A and I suspect Plan B will be most effective in yanking him off the fence because he is getting tired of OW.

But what you learn here is what will save your marriage. Mine has been going on 3 years. It was almost a year when he started making NC attempts. By that time I wasn't in the mood to comfort him.

I have decided to go away for the weekend by myself. Call me whatever you want but him saying he can't afford to take me out for my BDay totally sickens me. So, I am going to do what I'd like for my BDay weekend. I'll have my son sleep over a buddy's house Fri night and WH can pick him up Sat. I am going to pack a bag and go to my favorite little place for the weekend and stay in a hotel. I will order takeout from my favorite restaurant. I will shop at all my favorite shops and eat the birthday cake I had to order for myself. I don't want to bring my son because I don't want him to report back to the big AH where we were or what we did. I am going to pack all my best lingerie and tell WH I am going away with "a friend". I will tell him my cell phone will be in a "dead zone" so I won't be able to call. I am going to be vague and mysterious. But right now I am on fire I am so mad. Whenever he feels me pull back, like tonight, then he puts out some sweet talk. As soon as I respond, he goes back to his routine. As far as any kind of sexual intimacy, there has been none. There was some kissing but since he got sick a week or two ago he "doesn't want to get me sick". Quite frankly, SF is way up high on his list. If he is putting off coming home for at least a month, I feel he is getting in his last licks shagging her. I've been a damn fool and this guy is treating me like a DAWG Mel! Would it be too much to tell WS that I am meeting "a friend" without DS because I need to think about "some things"?

I know it would probably be better to go without my son to mess with WH's head but I'm thinking now that I want him to go. I'd like his company and he would LOVE to go stay in a hotel. This way we could even eat in the restaurant instead of getting it to go. He would have to miss a game on Saturday though. WH won't be happy about that!

Thanks Mel. It will be good because I'll have my talk with Steve and then I'll split for the weekend and have all weekend to think about it. I just booked my hotel room - I'm taking DS with me. We will have a blast! A little talk with "da bomb" and then - Ta Ta WH, we're hittin' the road!
How do I handle this? WH will bother me about the money I spend going away - where are you getting the $ yadda yadda yadda. He has always controlled my finances and I don't know how to respond to these questions. Like I said he is tight. Quite frankly I feel it is none of his business - we are officially "divorced". Is that a LBer to say that to him?
Me/BS 48
Married 16 yrs/together 23; 1 child
Dday 4/05; WH "needed space" and left 5/05
WH Filed D papers 6/05 - Divorce final 12/05
WH moved in with OW 11/05; moved out OW 1/06
12/06 His 3rd and strongest attempt at reconcilliation (I believe OW still in picture)
2/07 Affair over, begging me to take him back - it's too late.
WH has tried numerous times to reconcile.
