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, she has ALREADY exposed to the workplace. Now she is just following up to see what they intend to do, and giving them related evidence. And she has no evidence the affair is over. She only suspects that they haven't been in contact for a few days.

Hi Seeking Wife,
Melody advised that I follow up on my letters with a phone call to HR and H's boss.
I'm just unsure as to how far I need to go with it.
I don't want to go too over-the-top but I want to make darn sure that the affair is DEAD. And dead and dead and dead.
Squashed, splattered, folded, spindled and mutilated, burned, bombed, flattened and scorched...
Pulverized until there's absolutely nothing left. And if there's any residual dust...sink it to the bottom of the deepest part of the ocean.

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. Charlotte, WOF has a good point of caution here. You DO NEED to stay in contact with the OWH in order to touch base and make sure the affair stays killed, but be cautious about your communications with him. You are both VERY vulnerable right now. It is a neccesity to stay in touch for now, but just tread very carefully, this could be dangerous ground.

Thank you for bringing this up, wof5.
I was just thinking about this very thing today. So when I called him I made it short and to the point. My main reason for calling was to make sure he knew about H's A in his first M so it would reach the ears of OW.
And I sent the video in hopes that he would watch it and once he watches it, he will absolutely want her to watch it.
Oh, and when I told OWH about H's other A...he said he wasn't surprised. So I know for sure he'll tell OW.
But thank you for bringing that up. I am making sure to protect myself against anything inappropriate. If he called and wanted to go to lunch and talk I would not be able to do that.
And like you said, he's just as vulnerable as I am right now.

seekingwife, let me put it another way:
You set a mousetrap somewhere under the furniture. You hear it snap shut. You think the mouse is dead. But ... what if the trap only caught the tail of the mouse? And the mouse fainted dead away from fright, and made just one little squeaky sound?
And you walk away, satisfied that the mouse got killed. But when you go outside, the mouse regains consciousness, and says to himself "mon dieu! I am trapped in zee mouzetrap! Alas!" But the mouse does not panic.
Instead, he quietly sets about chewing off his own little tail, and scampers away to heal. Once he feels better, he timidly ventures out from his mousehole again, more careful this time.
No reckless eating out of mousetraps of that design ever again for him, non m'sieur. A sadder mouse by wiser now, allez oop!

Great analogy!

Great analogy! Sweetie, I was thinking about you today. I am SO proud of you! I don't know if I would be able to handle things that are coming your way like you do. I hope I NEVER have to but if it ever happens, I know where to go and who to talk to!

Just a note:
I'm checking on BestAdvisor.
There's something there that reminds me of someone else.
Haven't identified it yet. Smells of sweet? Or passion. Same thing - really - those two are the same. I wonder if BA is the same?
I'm checking and watching BA.
Sooner or later, BA will slip up and show her(him)self. There's something there, though, reminiscent of another, earlier persona.
We'll see.

agree, SB, she smells like some other recent trolls we have had around here. She smells blood over on sexymamabears thread and is over there tonight.

I've looked at MM. Not enough similarity there. I don't think they are the same person.

Yes, Mr. Jingles! I'm re-reading The Green Mile, and that little mouse just won't leave my head.
Too bad my french accent stinks so bad.

Hey, Bellevue!
I'm so glad to see a friendly face! I was just going through some evidence. I didn't want to but I want to highlight anything connected to H's office where the A took place most of the time. I've found more references than I thought were there but I had skipped a lot of stuff because it was too painful to look at. No problem now. Mouse on a mission here. (except THIS mouse is the size of Godzilla!)
I re-read the Green Mile not too long ago because the movie had been on and we watched it again. So then I had to read it again. It's so moving.
Have you ever read "Blaze?" Man oh man, that is THE best Bachman book! I'm so glad he pulled it out and reworked it!! That book stayed with me for WEEKS after I read it.
Oh, and you're accent is just fine. Much better than OW's, she was trying to teach H to speak French. (dam little French-fried floozy! sorry, but I had to let one out! I didn't get TOO rough on her. I had something much stronger in mind but it would be edited to the point of ******* ****** ******** ****** ******* ******** ******* ****** ********* ****** **** * * * * ****** ** * * ** ***** there.I feel better now.)

Ducks never sleep.
Sure, I sleep once in a while. I slept more last night so now I'm still up.
re: ducks. I don't know how familiar you are with their habits, but our ducks almost never sleep. They are up during the day and they are up at night. They take little catnaps during the day so they can always be on guard. One will stand sentinel so the others can take a cat nap.
It's SO funny! But they are nice to have around because of their habits. If the dogs don't notice anything unusual, you can always count on the ducks to pick up the slack if someone tries to sneak into your yard.
It helps to have duck hens, though because their voices are very LOUD while the drake's voices are low and watery.
Okay, enough about ducks!
BTW: LOL when I saw your post! Now I'll be up even longer!
