I sent an exposure letter to OM's family and OM called me extremely pissed off. He says I'll be getting a summons for slander. Since what I said was written, it's technically libel, not slander, but that's not the point.

Is the the OM cracking and the A imploding? Or am I in big trouble?

Here's my story - http://forum.marriagebuilders.com/ubbt/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2287465#Post2287465


BS (me): 40
WW: just turned 33 (ACA, possibly Bipolar II)
Together: 6.5 yrs
M: 4.5 yrs
D-day 1: 4/28/09 - Revealed ONS
D-day 2: 5/30/09 - Revealed addl ONS and 2 A - one active (there are/were four OM)
Suspected A 1/09 and started Plan A
False recovery: 12/4/09 - 12/10/09
Moved her out and switched to Plan B 12/15/09
WW met Plan B requirements 2/10/10 - recovery has not begun
Thankfully, no children are being harmed by WW's selfishness!

You're only in trouble if he can prove he's not having an affair with your wife.

Truth is not libel or slander in any form.

So unless you embellished, you're safe.

You should stick to one thread--keep all the info in one place so that people who are following can keep up with what's going on.

OM is just pissed...can't sue you if what you've said is true!!

Keep to one thread, friend.

LOL.

The OW in my realm said the same thing. I told my WH to tell her that she could go right ahead and I would sue her right back for miscellaneous things.

I also pointed out to my WH that it was his money too so she would be suing him defacto if she decided to bother trying.

Sorry I haven't posted on your thread before, but I do lurk often.

He has some nerve to be calling you, when he's the one diddling your W.

OM are usually cowards and tend to throw the WW's under the bus as thier backing out of the mess they helped create.

The TRUTH is a defense against LIBEL. The OM is just being a drama queen. dramaqueen

I would let him know it will be WORSE if he doesn't stay away from your wife. Tell him HELL IS COMING.

The little weasel wouldn't DARE drag you into court and give you the opportunity to drag out all your evidence of an affair for all the world to see. He is the who stands to lose the most and he knows it. If I were you, I would INVITE him to bring a suit so you can get all your evidence of his affair on the PUBLIC RECORD.............FOR ALL TO SEE.

Thanks ML. WW admitted in conversations earlier this week that he is a drama queen. Unfortunately, she also admitted the drama is part of her attraction to him, which she went on to mention she knows that is not healthy, but feels helpless to fight against the feeling. YEESH!

In addition to being a drama queen, he is also very STUPID to be threatening the HUSBAND of his adultery partner. He has much more to lose than you. Don't you dare let him scare you.

Is she attracted to STUPID MEN?

Be sure and let her know the OM dumped her butt at the first sign of trouble.

It's funny you ask that because during Plan A, when it looked like she'd be ending the affair, she said that she doesn't see a future with him because he's not very smart and SHE SAID, she likes the fact that I'm very smart and can speak intelligently with her. We have some pretty deep conversations he simply can't carry.

Then again, just a few days ago she also told me that she feels like "I'm just not f'd up enough for her". When I asked her what that meant, she hung her head and said she realized it meant she needed to fix herself in order to be in a healthy marriage. I gave her a big hug and told her not to beat herself up too much.

Hey there the only reassurance that i can give you is that when i sent exposure email to OW friends on FB one of her family members who is a lawyer contacted me and threatened lawsuit i simply pointed out the I didnt lie in the email and sent him the proof that i have (OW Denied things to her family said she never slept with my WS shame she was stupid enough to also email me the details of their sexual encounter) writted by OW so he backed off straight away and apologised and told me that he will still support her as she is his family member but can see he has no grounds legally. OW also contacted police regarding the email they also told me that it was none of their business as she was stupid enough to keep her FB account on low privacy settings and laughed at her. There is nothing OM can do legally unless you lie. Keep emails factual and keep a record of EVERYTHING.

If you were shocked reading any of this, that this is the consequence of not following MB to the LETTER.

Lawyer friend needs to support your marriage.

With friends like that in your relationship, you would do well to disable them after you have got together.
