There are several examples on the site, I doubt that is the proper thing for you to be considering, and a poorly timed and executed Plan B is very likely to backfire. I hope you are still in Denmark working on your M. It sounds a little soon for you to be going to Plan B, and Plan B success is predicated on a strong Plan A, which you had not even begun a couple weeks ago, and if you have begun since then, its doubtful you've really given it enough time to really have an impact.

I'd suggest reading Jamesus and Charlotte22's posts to get an idea of what Plan A truly is, both are or have endured long Plan A's and you will see that while neither situation is resolved both have put themselves in a better place by implementing the plan.

Give us an update if you're seeking advice.

Pottsy...Seriously? Plan A her while she is in Denmark and you are in Australia??? When a BS moves out the first thing they are told is to GO HOME...You were told not to leave as THAT would have been the way to Plan A...But you left and you separated your children...This is NOT gonna end favorably...

I don't think YOU are hearing anything. You don't listen and you want people to invest more of their time and effort in you? No thanks.

Moving back here and splitting your family is pretty much GUARANTEED the last nail in the coffin of your marriage.

Pottsy's Teenaged Daughter "Dad why did you abandon me and leave me with my immoral mother"

Pottsy: "You don't understand"

Pottsy's Teenaged Daughter "Why did you leave me to be molested?"

Pottsy: "You don't understand"

Pottsy's Teenaged Daughter "You're right - I don't"

Pottsy if I remember correctly you left your daughter with your WW...Do you realize how dangerous that is for your dd??? Do you understand that the affair will go on right in front of her? That the chances of her being molested are HUGE...That she will have "daddy issues" as a result of your abandoning her??? This is a tragedy and I don't even think you realize that...If you did you could NOT have left your dd...My heart breaks for your children...

Pottsy the "A" in Plan A does NOT stand for appeasement or [censored] kissing...Listening to your WW was a HUGE MISTAKE...The only advice that I will give you is to MOVE BACK TO DENMARK...It's pretty much over if not...
