"I'm still the same person..you know what I like" or something like that...


Any one here familiar with that Dido song that goes "who makes you feel that I make you feel?"

It became my give me strength song the day after d-day and I played it until my FWH wanted to jump out of the window.

He hates any Dido song to this day.

My husband is a very techy guy with a degree to back it up and he can't find info on it. It is coming from a yahoo account. I am 90% sure it is coming from OW because she is just mad and can only be mad at me right? I got another one this evening and it is one of the worst one so far. I have black them before and they just keep changing. I don't take them seriously anymore but I read them still. I really don't know if I should show them to my H but he really wants to see them. I keep going back and forth on this. Your thoughts?

Maybe you should stop reading them.

Mhwag, yeah...those emails are almost certainly from the OW. No one else has the motivation.

Your husband is NC with the OW. There's a current thread out here regarding a FWS reading board posts made by the OP and the concensus is that it is breaking the NC. I agree. Touching that NC agreement is SUCH a slippery slope that I would not show these to WH. Don't even acknowledge they come in. Save them, maybe, for a time well in the future when you are both well into recovery and you two are into radical honesty with each other...but not now. Actually, I wouldn't even read them myself. You might inadvertently react to them in some manner. I know it's hard, but I'd just put them in a folder somewhere (in your email program) and not think of them further.

Thanks when you put it that way it makes sence, I will hold onto them but not show him. I am not going to block her though because it doesn't help. I think it makes it worse. I willl try and not read them but for some sick reason I get this feeling like I am winning so hahahah. I know that is wrong but I will try and not do it. I also read because I want to see if she makes a mistake and tell me if he has contacted her again. The email are slowing down some. I used to get them multiple times a day now they come every couple of days. But then again how many times can you call someone a @itch through email.

Love this attitude. Keep this in mind on the bad days. I had to repeatedly tell myself that FWH was with me because that was what he wanted.

Looking back, I had a similar feeling following d-day. Made the mistake of taking some phone calls from OW. She was completely in La La land. She said "I am in love with ******* so please let him go." I told her the door was open for him to leave.

FWH had told her repeatedly from the beginning of the affair that he didn't want a life with her and had no intention of leaving me, but she just couldn't believe it.

We blocked her email, eventually changed all of our accounts so that she wouldn't have the addresses, got a new, unlisted phone number and traded cell phones. Guess the only thing she still has is our mailing address.

Thank God she lives 3000 miles away. We haven't heard from her, ever.
