Love:

I went through your stage early on after D-Day, too.

Many of us have...

You were trying to TALK him out of it...

WSes DO NOT HAVE THE CAPACITY TO THINK LOGICALLY...

I'll never forget my then WH telling me that "SURVIVING AN AFFAIR does not apply to me"...a man who had been involved in a 2 year PA....

CRAZY....


I made it happen..a joyful life..filled with peace, contentment, happiness and fabulocity.

ok..thanks...hey mimi, i just got some info that my WH could lose his security clearance if his EA is exposed to the "higher ups" in his company...I am wondering if I should, not so much threaten my WH w/ this info but shud I just casually mention it to him that it can happen b/c of what he has done...remember, he is a DOD contractor, not in the military....or shud i just keep this info to myself?

The chances of a DOD employee losing his security clearance for an EA is probably slim to none.

My dh used to work for the DOD. He still works for the gov't and has a security clearance. An EA probably wouldn't cause any problems. Not everyone believes/feels that an emotinal affair exists.

A physical affair, it probably depends on his command. Just like any place, if the people above him don't see anything wrong with it then they will more than likely turn the other cheek.

I've read most of your story. I wouldn't advise using this card yet. Others may feel differently. Were else have you exposed the A? I would start with family, before going to his boss. Can you access his e-mail? Cell phone bills? etc?

LG, to answer your question from another thread, it would be difficult to find out if OW has left without knowing who she is, who she works for, and knowing someone on the ground who could verify things for you.

ok thanks ML, and better-than-ever, the A has been exposed to everyone..his mom, dad, sister, my family, my friends, my coworkers, etc etc...not to anyone in his work though...Since he is overseas, I dont know who to contact over there except HQ which is in the states...but I am going to wait on that though...

Hey orchid and mimi, i wanted your input this..my mom, a couple of my friends, and our minister wanted to write my WH a letter of support, on my behalf, to give to him when he comes home from overseas. They want to tell them that they love him, no matter what, and that they are very supportive of this marriage working. They want to tell him not to give up eventhough he is in a bad place, etc etc. Do you guys think this is a good idea or no?
