Do ya'll think I should go there in person? Or should I go ahead and call again tomorrow and see how it goes when I talk to HR Supe & H's supe?

Or should I deliver my package anyway? Dressed very conservatively of course...in clothing that covers me from head to toe and closed shoes so I am in compliance with the dress code at H's company? I'm not going to go out and buy a burka or anything but no excess skin should be showing.

I could wear a scarf unless ya'll think that's too much. That's if I end up taking the trip. I want to make sure that this is approved by you guys.

I say wait.

Are you serious about the dress? What kind of company does he work for (without revealing names)?

Hi princess meggy,

Let's see...one of the members of the family who owns the company is VERY good friends with [censored] Cheney. He is a Prince.

Is that enough of a hint?

And Bush once held hands with a member of this family...the photo was all over the press and the butt of many jokes.

No kidding, I just happen to have a burqua, dark blue, that my mother bought when she was in the Peace Corps in Afghanistan back in the early 70s, while the King was still in power.
Interested? (Ma made a few alternations to it, but it's still pretty full coverage.)

Let me know, email with your address, I'll ship it off to you! No sense spending money on something you'll only wear once. (Of course I need it back after......)

Again, this is NOT a joke. I do have a burqua. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Hi Bellevue!!

Your post made me laugh, too.

I really appreciate your offer. Can you send it through overnight shipping? There's still time for you to get to the post office if you are in the right time zone!

Really, I do appreciate your offer but I think it would really freak them out if I showed up in a burqua (thanks for helping me with the spelling on that,) since it is not my real religion. It WOULD be absolutely hilarious, though!!!

Like Bill Maher the week before last, with his "Burqua Fashion Show." I don't know if you like or watch him but he is pretty informative & funny. He does overdo it sometimes, though.

I hope that was your real email, I saved it. I'll send you mind if you like. Or I might send it anyway, whether you like it or not!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I just send OWH a link to the video and a brief message along with it.

I really hope he reads it, if he sees it before it disappears. (well, you NEVER know...)

My sister "just happened" to be sick today, also, one of her professors was sick so she only had one class. So she "just happened" to be home when I needed her.

Her Yahoo account is working fine so I asked her to forward the info I needed that I haven't been able to access since Friday night. One was OWH's email. The other was the evidence from the beginning, when I found the confirmation of the A.

BTW, Melody, I sent a message to you with the early discovery info. If you have time you can read it when you get home.

Sooooooooo, Melody, taking any "detours" on the way home today? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Charlotte, I will check my email when I get home from the office, I can't access it here today. I left her address at home so I can't go by on the way home from work. Maybe tomorrow I will cruise by!

now that you've saved my email addy, I'm removing it from the thread.

It doesn't matter whether Islam is your religion. When they take over, anybody left alive will be wearing them - or else!

Oh, there are also swimsuits that completely cover Muslim women, available on the internet. Do a search under "burquini." Australian Muslim women are becoming lifeguards, and they wear these clothes to comply with the requirement for modesty.

Hi Melody,

It's no biggie, tomorrow is just as good as today, thank you!

I'm getting ready to go to IC. I've had to postpone my last two appts. due to Pepper the week before and then seeing a lawyer the week after. My IC knows what I've been up to, though. He is proud of me. That makes me feel good.

BTW-OWH wasn't surprised to hear that H cheated on his first wife. I'm sure he'll tell OW, he tells her everything!
BUT...he did not reveal the source of my evidence. Wheeeee!

I'm also going to call one of H's coworkers when I get back. I happen to know her personally. She helped me out the night H was busted, too.

I wonder if she'll still talk to me? I doubt H has told her anything, but HR might have!

I'll check in when I get back!

Ta!

You're probably spot-on about that, Bellevue!

Burquini! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I just HAVE to check that out later!!

Oh, I get it. Well then. Alrighty now. Puts things in perspective. They're awful brave pitching their tents in Texas cause everyone knows when you come to Texas you do as the Texans do or get run out of town. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I have a question about this exposing....I thought the point of the exposing was to bust up the affair. You've done that now....why keep on messing with his job when you haven't even asked him to write NC letter or any of that? I am just a little confused on that....Melody?

SW, it's to make sure the affair STAYS busted up. One of them has to leave the job, which is why HR needs to know about how it was carried on with company resources.

have been reading your thread, and not posting since you are all ready getting such great help
But I do see a huge red flag here, and I feel like I really need to make mention of it.

You should try to limit your contact with OWH at this point. For 2 reasons.
1. You are both very vulnerable right now, and when you talk to each other you will start to feel like he is your kindred spirit. You have both been hurt, and you understand each other like no one else can. See where I am going with this? It is this sort of opening that can lead to an EA. I know what I am talking about here - I started down that path when I used to talk to the OWH in my own situation. He would say things like "Your WH was an idiot to leave you! You are so much nicer than my W" and I would just melt.

2. Again, in my own sitch, I began to feel angry with my WH for what he had done to the OWH and children. I would be on the phone talking to OWH for hours, and he would tell me how he was hurting, and how the kids were hurting. And in time I started to realize that I could forgive my WH for what he did to me. But I didn't know if I could forgive him for what he did to them.

Just my own 2 cents worth.
