You're missing the point. You shouldn't care what impression your email leaves on her. The email should simply throw a wrench into her plans and make her supremely uncomfortable. That's all. The fact that you are going to be with your kids is none of her business. Fight the affair.

Listen, your email misses the point. You need to find out if she is going out to commit adultery tonight because you will not be accommodating her adultery. JUST ASK HER, CARP! for crying out loud, you yankees make me crazy! just say it!

I don't know if she would really tell you the truth about whether the OM is going to be with her or not. However, it would make her supremely uncomfortable to have you ask her.

Carp, am I missing something here? I thought the goal was to find out if she was going to be with the OM? Is this not the goal?
If you are not going to ASK, then how do you propose finding out?
I feel very much like I am wasting my time here once again.

I was trying to think of how my wife could use the answer "get your own sitter I have plans" against me. You gotta remember my W is fully lawyered up so ANYTHING negative for me=bad. Huh? She can go hang with friends and leave you to babysit and THAT can't be held against her? I don't get it. I think ML is right too. You SHOULD confront her about her TRUE plans for tonight. Do you really want to babysit while she brings in the New Year with a NEW MAN? Why not just tell her you've just changed your mind. You're allowed you know.

The goal is to ANNOY HER for absolutely no purpose and still end up babysitting while she goes out and scrws the OM! it is just a GAME.. Sounds productive.............NOT!  I guess I am not getting the point.

Ok, you don't want to babysit so your W can continue the A and you don't think that she will tell you the truth if you ask her straight up. So, just tell her to find her own babysitter (as PM said) and let it go. You don't have to say anymore than that. It's not saying that you don't care about your kids, not at all. Stop overthinking things (I'm the queen of that and it sucks) and just send a message that is short, sweet, and to the point. BTW, I was saying that asking her would make her uncomfortable, which is good, because she should be.

This should have been settled about 3 hours ago. All these posts over this little issue is OVERKILL. If every little issue causes this much vacillation and indecision, then you are going to be spending most of your time spinning your wheels.
In the time we have wasted beating this to death, you could have found out by now and been well onto the next issue.

If she doesn't reply to your question, tell her you'll take her non-reply as a yes. And then inform her that you will not be available to watch the kids tonight.

I apologize for my crankiness. I have a low threshhold for indecisiveness.

In the time we have wasted beating this to death, you could have found out by now and been well onto the next issue. True. By waiting until the last minute, you could very well have set it up so you are definitely babysitting while your wife is with the OM for the New Year.

But, my impression of all these emails is that it makes you look weak and leaves a written trail (you seem very worried about those type of things) Pick up the phone, call her, and ask what you want to know. Weed through her BS and come up with your own conclusion. Start working from a position of strength and she will respect you, at least. All this email seems weak to me. My $0.02
