Hi, I had to change my name because I think WH was ready my posts.

I have been in plan b for a month. I have not been as dark as I should be, but i'm working on that.

Last week I was cleaning my bedroom came across some of WH stuff. His briefcase was there so I was going to put the stuff I found in the case and I came across something from OW it really upset me, if I every thought she wasn't a ****** now I have no doubt. Anyway I couldn't calm down so I stopped said a prayer and asked God to help me. I openned my bible, it openned to Proverbs 5.

Proverbs 5
Warning Against Adultery
1 My son, pay attention to my wisdom,
listen well to my words of insight,
2 that you may maintain discretion
and your lips may preserve knowledge.

3 For the lips of an adulteress drip honey,
and her speech is smoother than oil;

4 but in the end she is bitter as gall,
sharp as a double-edged sword.

5 Her feet go down to death;
her steps lead straight to the grave. [a]

6 She gives no thought to the way of life;
her paths are crooked, but she knows it not.

7 Now then, my sons, listen to me;
do not turn aside from what I say.

8 Keep to a path far from her,
do not go near the door of her house,

9 lest you give your best strength to others
and your years to one who is cruel,

10 lest strangers feast on your wealth
and your toil enrich another man's house.

11 At the end of your life you will groan,
when your flesh and body are spent.

12 You will say, "How I hated discipline!
How my heart spurned correction!

13 I would not obey my teachers
or listen to my instructors.

14 I have come to the brink of utter ruin
in the midst of the whole assembly."

15 Drink water from your own cistern,
running water from your own well.

16 Should your springs overflow in the streets,
your streams of water in the public squares?

17 Let them be yours alone,
never to be shared with strangers.

18 May your fountain be blessed,
and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.

19 A loving doe, a graceful deer—
may her breasts satisfy you always,
may you ever be captivated by her love.

20 Why be captivated, my son, by an adulteress?
Why embrace the bosom of another man's wife?

21 For a man's ways are in full view of the LORD,
and he examines all his paths.

22 The evil deeds of a wicked man ensnare him;
the cords of his sin hold him fast.

23 He will die for lack of discipline,
led astray by his own great folly.

I told my Pastor and my Boss (who is a Pastors wife and a FWW)why would God what me to read this I know this already.

Both of them said the same thing I need to make a copy and send it to WH.

I need to know what you guys think I'm in plan b which means NC. But I have also been praying for the will of God.

So my question is:

I'm I preventing the will of God if I don't send a copy to WH?

Please help all comments are helpful i'm just so confused. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

I don't think YOU should send it to your WH.

Do NOT be tempted to break Plan B, especially to try to 'teach' him something.

Know that he is not receptive to taking advice form you right now. FIRST you have to get him to want you again, more than he wants the OW, by removing yourself from him totally until he misses you and truly believes he cannot keep you around and the OW too.

BUT.... why can't somebody else send those Bible verses to him?

Part of why exposure is so effective at ruining the fantasy/fun of adultery is the adulterers (sometimes - not the really brazen ones) do care what others think of them and what they're up to.

I wouldn't get my hopes to high up though. Adulterers tend to just rewrite or selectively edit their moral standards to accomodate whatever they're up to anyway.

He has to get his head out of the fog first before anyone can really reach him.

Expose, expose, expose... BUT do NOT contact him yourself.

goingwiththeflow,

Work on the DARK part of Plan B. It does seem that these things happen for a reason, maybe to open YOUR eyes to the ways of a Wayward, as well as the temptress/adulteress? Try to remember that your H made these decisions too; it's not just about being 'wooed' away.

If he is still very foggy, sending him this note from YOU will seem desperate, and most WS's don't respond as you would like to desperation, it even seems to give them the upper hand. If you did a good Plan A, and had glimpses here and there of H, then a good, Dark plan B has the possiblity of opening WH's eyes to his own sin, without notes, as he is forced to live the consequences of the A. It shows them what YOU moving on looks like, as well.

meremortal and silent

Thank you for your posts, I knew I couldn't send but after both my Pastor and boss said the same thing my heart wanted to do its thing. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

I do have a friend that would send it to him or even call him and quote it to him. She already called him one time before with a verse from a song.(not my idea) My friend and him were like brother and sister and she is taking this whole thing really hard. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
