And I would bet you $100 that the first time you DO say 'fine, I'll see you in court,' she'll whip her head around so fast and beg you to stop you won't even see it. She needs to respect you to love you, and she obviously doesn't. Her parents taught her to feel entitled to use people, so the only ones she'll not use are those she respects - those who stand up to her.

Because she's also being crazy? And lying, and cheating? Something she doesn't normally do.

Monc, my wife told me she wanted a divorce. She told me there was no way she would give up OM. She told me she hadn't loved me in 20 years, in fact she never really loved me. She told me she married me for the wrong reasons, that she married me too young, before she knew who she was, who I was, what love was...



Silly waywards...

You heard this all too? LOL

Almost word for word from my wifes mouth.

Monc,

At this point there is only one phone call you need to make...

Call a lawyer and get rid of this woman while the gettin' is good.

But you told us that she said she was DONE and that she means everything she says, remember?

Or it is exactly what she normally does and is who she really is.

It took falling out of love with my exww to see her for who she really was: a drama queen who has no self esteem and who uses medical conditions to draw attention to herself and/or creates the medical drama to draw sympathy and get attention.

I didn't see her that way till I fell out of love with her yet everyone of my friends and family saw that long before I did.

I would give anything to have seen her this way when I was your age and could have bailed on her without having to go through the financial and emotional loss I suffered at her hands years later when she cheated on me with 3 kids in the picture.

You have the opportunity to dump the cheating woman now and start anew with someone who deserves it. NO WOMAN is worth this. NONE.

And waywards threaten legal action without knowing a single thing about the law. You can't make a restraining order or file harassment charges because you make a phone call to someone else about something they don't exactly like.

Call her bluff and tell her to give it her best shot and waste the court's time.

Seriously, you need to start acting like you're 10 foot tall and bullet proof and are sure about what you're doing.

My freind you are absolutly all over the map.
Stop listining to what she, or her supporters say. Start looking at what she is actually doing.

And CALM DOWN!!

Many of those supporters will abandone here after they see more of her actions come to light.

"Please stop doing that, then. You're invading the privacy of my friends now, and that is completely reprehensible. The jilted husband bit is getting old and tired, and you don't get to wave the Victim flag anymore. This is harassment. And if I have to, I will get the police involved. Be careful, now you're bringing down the wrath of his family, too."

After she found out I called her guys Mother. Supposedly I deserve to be scared.

Also, doesn't that seem almost polite?

And should I respond?

Here is what you reply:

W, the man you are having an affair with invaded the privacy of MY marriage. I will not tolerate that offense without responding. I have responded by informing his mother, your family, and our friends of THE TRUTH. Why do you have a problem with me speaking about the truth? Please, I would love to hear why you have a problem with me talking about your actions, if there is nothing wrong with your actions. I'm waiting to hear your answer.

I can wave any flag I want to, as long as you are married to me and having sex with ANOTHER MAN!

You want to call the police? Please go right ahead. Here is their number (XXX-XXXX). I would love to hear what they think when I tell them I am responding to your infidelity.

And you can tell your affair partner that his family is welcome to address me any time they like, and I will be happy to talk to them about how their son, brother, cousin, or nephew is scr&wing the wife of another man.

Have a nice day.

PS: I will be returning to our home tonight. If you try to prevent me, I WILL be bringing the police.

Love,
H

Should I threaten to expand my "exposure"? Or just continue on?

I'm feeling liberated now... Once we divorce I'm not going to have the family anyway. I won't want to see "THEM" standing together ever...it'll just make me sick.

And why would I want a family that protects an affair? Granted...some have been helpful, but not in the way I need.

Don't threaten. Just do it. Threatening will simply inform her, and she'll use that information to counter- expose (i.e. make up some story about what a raving lunatic you are so when you expose, that's exactly what you sound like). In fact, she is already informed that you are exposing so do what you need to do quickly. It's the only chance you really have to make a difference.

She is making threatening noises because exposure is WORKING. It's causing PROBLEMS over in affair-land. You are not doing anything illegal as long as you are polite and do not continue to expose to a person if THAT person has asked you to stop. (This does not mean your WW asking you to stop.)

I live in Texas and adultery is still on the books, even though it's no longer used as grounds in a divorce. You can still CLAIM it in a divorce petition as it relates to property division and custody.

I just found out it can also be a separate cause of action in a civil suit!

Here's an article about suing your spouse for adultery in Texas (not divorce)

(BTW, this is NEWS to me and I've been in the legal field in Texas for years!) hurray
