This seems to be the only way I can contact OMGF. I don't know her, so if I want to let her know that her BF is having an A with my W, how do I do it?

I've never had a 'social networking' thing before. Do I register as myself (she won't know my name) or as an alias of some sort, with a clue as to what I want to tell her?

If I register under my real name, I don't know if there is a possibility of OM checking her account out and he will flip.

I could go round to his house on the off chance that she is there, but then he might be there instead. Similarly, if I send a letter, I don't know if he opens her post? As it is their house is up for sale, so this doesn't bode well. In this current climate, no-one is selling. I can only think they are splitting up?

If you know when the OM is at work why not call there or go there? Do you know where OMGF works?

I'm going to the gym now and my Love Bank is at ZERO. We will both be home about the same time. I really don't know how to handle this (again). I don't even want to talk to her and she leaves me a note saying 'she wants a cuddle' when she comes home after our D 'talk' last night.

The usual stuff has been going on and about 3 weeks ago OM called W at home while I was at work. This is the first time I'd recorded it. W went on to say how much she'd enjoyed seeing him earlier that night and not to worry as her skirt 'was now in the wash' mad

A week later W went to a work meal and I went to a party at my gym. I was feeling 'Why not?'. We traded a few texts during the evening and I foolishly sent one that said me and a friend were 'coming home with lots of girls'! This was a wind-up and not true but after all the cr@p she has put me through, I needed to release some pressure and let her see how it feels. Total LB I know, but my Love Bank is seriously low.

I got home about 45 mins after W and went to open door. She had bolted it! I saw the bedroom light was on (kids were on a sleep over) and rang. The answerphone kicked in and I left a message saying that I knew she was still up and to come and unbolt the door. 10 mins nothing... I rang again and said if door was not opened I would catch a cab to either her dad's, or my BIL/SIL, which is where kids were staying. So off I went and caught a cab to BIL, he knows the sit and asked why I'd been locked out. I didn't know why?? Anyway, I left my phone on 'til 2am and nothing from W. I slept the night on my BIL's sofa in the same house my kids were staying at.

More to follow...

Just a couple of reminders about what your wife has done to you.

Time to send her packing.

I looked at your other posts, to catch up on your sitch, but you have way too many threads going on. It's a lot easier for folks to help you if you stick to one thread.

Have you exposed to your WW's parents?
Have you exposed to OM's parents?
I see you're trying to expose to OM's girlfriend.

Have you done a stellar plan A? I don't think so, because you are making lots of LBs and not spending time with your W - she's going to one activity while you're going to the other.

I think you need Plan B but I don't think it will do much good as it's not following a stellar Plan A.

You need to get back to basics and work the plans, IMO.


To answer your question about Facebook, when you create an account you agree that you're using your real name. I don't know if they'd prosecute but I wouldn't risk it. When OM finds out what you've done adn that you used a fake name you can be sure he'll turn you in. WW might turn you in, who knows? Just not worth the risk.

Who gives a crapola if he flips? Don't you WANT him to flip? Isn't that the point of exposure?

Quit being such a wuss. Drive over to their house, and if OM answers the door, ask to speak to his wife. If he refuses, come back the next day. And the next.

Quit being a wuss. Do you want your wife back or not?

The point of exposure is to blow the affair world to pieces.

Your life has been hell.

Make the affair hell.

Make the affair not worth the cost. That's what everything on the stick side of the Plan A equation is supposed to do. It raises the price of continuing the affair.

Why not add OMGF as a friend on Facebook? Create an account for yourself. THen, request her to be your friend with a message:

" I am the husband of your boyfriend's other girlfriend"

I'm sure you'll get a response.

I agree with Psubiker. Create an account and use your real name (so that she doesn't view this as a hoax). I would also include a few details in that initial message. Or you can simply send a message without the friend request. Either way, you will need to include enough details to ensure that she knows that the info is real and not just some prank. By details, I mean your name, your WW's name, OM's name and whatever their connection is (work etc). So what if OM sees it.

One thing about Facebook is that when you send a message, it sends you an alert to your email. You can actually read the message in the email - so even if OM finds the Facebook message and deletes it, she might still see it on her regular email.

I only have one other thread? And this was a specific question

Quote
Have you exposed to your WW's parents?
Have you exposed to OM's parents?
I see you're trying to expose to OM's girlfriend.

WW Father now knows, about a month ago he found out. He is very disappointed at his Ds actions and has 'disowned' her. Doesn't help really. OMs parents - I don't even know if they are still around and if they are I don't know where they live.

Keep thinking Plan B. Have heard her telling her 'friends' she's made a decision, but won't tell them over the phone for fear of me recording convo. Also heard her say that OM is prepared to wait 'years' for her and she has also been told (by a psychic :crosseyedcrazy:) that OM 'will never cheat on her'. Thing is, she will believe this and will always be in the back of her mind.

As usual, when everything blows up, as it frequently does, OM never gets any flak. That is unless, that is why 'his' house is for sale?

Seriously, how do you sit upright to type without a backbone.

I mean, you have been tolerating this for over a year and have done NOTHING to help yourself or improve your situation. You and a half dozen or so other BH's on the board right now are the poster children for DOORMATS.

Honest question ... is there ANYTHING that your WW could do to you that you simply wouldn't tolerate? Is there ANYTHING that you would stand up to defend?

Yes, if I contact her she won't know who I am just from my name. I can give very specific details if needed.

As an aside, W doesn't seem 'into me' at all. Not like before anyway, we seemed to be getting on ok, now it's like she couldn't give a cr@p. If she has made a decision, she's not letting me know.

I wouldn't bother with Facebook since you know where they live. If you don't want to confront OM, next time WW has plans to go out with OM go to the house to see if OMGF is there. Don't you have the phone number? Phone call or house call. I wouldn't rely on email that could possibly be intercepted by OM.

I feel my boundaries have been breached way too many times, she just seems to shrug it off each time. I know I'm the master of my own downfall.

Two things. First is a slight t/j:

Sorry, but that has to be the best fog-babble I have read yet!!

Okay, back to your question:

When OM finds out what you've done adn that you used a fake name you can be sure he'll turn you in. WW might turn you in, who knows? Just not worth the risk.

Ok, will bear it in mind.
Facebook allows you to adjust your own privacy settings. You can actually block the OM from seeing your profile or finding it on a search. Now if you contact OMGF through Facebook, she'll be able to see your profile (which you will want in order to establish credibility). The only way OM will be able to find you is if he uses her account.

I'm a FB user and I am comfortable with the security there. I do get the odd friend request from strangers but either it's because we have the same last name (some people seem to collect these) or it's someone with 100's of friends and they're clearly just trying to up their numbers. I once was friend requested by a guy who was trying to promote his local restaurant. But other than that, they've all been real friends.

Phil, you've been talking Plan B for almost six months. Did you ever tell your children?

This is painful to watch.

How long before he moves you to the couch? Would that be the line in the sand or will you somehow justify another boundry breach.

Throw her out Phil, for your sake.
