Why in the world did you answer the phone?

No Contact means no contact.

Send him a no contact letter and copy it to his wife - she needs to know he is still contacting you.

You also need to tell your husband that he called and you talked to him.

Change your number or utilize caller id.

NO CONTACT

Are you familiar with the Marriage Builder's principals?

Have you and your husband sent the OM a no-contact letter?

Have you read "Surviving an Affair"?

Have you told your H the OM called?

Can you take a deep breath, calm down a bit, and give a bit more information.... without the CAPS and put in a paragraph every so often, for us old folks with failing eyesight? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Maybe you should have thought about that before you slept with a married man.

You are only married 3 years and you are having an affair. I also assume from your sig that this is a second marriage because your children are older.

I foresee a marriage #3 in your future-infidelity and all.

Hmm, not trying to be critical here, but it doesn't matter to her whether it was a one time thing for you or not. You destroyed her life and her heart. Knowing that you haven't done that to anyone else (other than your husband) is of little comfort to her.

You need to write a NC letter -- send one to her and one to her husband. In the one to her, consider including an extra page that states her husband contacting you on ___ date and told you that she wanted to talk to you about waht happened. Tell her that you cannot have any further contact with her or her family after this letter, but that you understand she deserves the truth, so you are including a summary of what happened. Don't try to excuse, shift blame or justify in any way what happened. Just stand up and tell the truth no matter how bad it makes you feel. Then repeat that you are incredibly sorry and will not have any contact or communication with her or her husband again.
