Just wanted to ask................what happens if the OW doesn't have children and the WS children are pretty much grown up???


From what I remember, Mimi was in very much the same situation; her boys were grown and the OW had none of her own (I think?). She (Mimi) sold her home, and Plan B'd her little booty off.

They are recovered.

No matter what, folks, Plan B is the best thing for you.

Maybe you guys could start another Killer Bee's thread, or I could see if I could dig up the old one from last year. It helped to keep a Plan B thread going, even if just to shoot the breeze...

Blondblossom,

I also had the same thoughts. I'm in that very situation. Our DD and OW's kids are grown. OW is single. We sold our house 1 month ago and I am in Plan B. I support myself, so my WH was free to move to OW with basically no worries - no house, no kids, no support payments etc. My only hope is that OW will drag him down financially since she has had past issues with bankruptcies and gambling.

BUT, I can see that Plan B has been good for my recovery. I bought a condo and I have been doing very well. I'm spending time with friends, shopping for some furniture and decorating items, and am finding that it is nice to be away from the drama of the A.

Actually, I'm doing much better than I ever thought possible. The day we moved, I bottomed out I think. WH said he didn't want to be M anymore. Didn't think I would make it through that day. But once I got into my new place, which is bright, cheery, and clean, I did a complete turnaround. My personal recovery began.


BS - me 56
XWH - 57

12/25/06 - Dday - WH promised NC. Plan A in effect. Thought we were in recovery.

6-3-07 - Dday#2 Found out NC never took place and A never ended. Found MB NC promised again, but WH would not write NC letter.

9/07 - Dday #3. Still lying and sneaking around. Plan B implemented
WH wants nothing to do with me

Divorced as of 12/09 after 36 years

I know we will be in the 3% that does not fail. D in Oct H married OW in Nov I have been in a dark Plan B since March 06 doing my own recovery.

Is the affair still an affair now that they are married H seems to think that now that he is married just get on with it, ignore what he done before and start a fresh life.
