Well be compassionate to her but be direct and stress the urgency of the situation. I would not hestitate to tell BW that your WW is waiting for her WH to dump her either...light the fire.

We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot.

That rocks, Ready.


I never had to take the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?

O'hana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.

RTQ,

Send Steve an email NOW detailing your story, yrs married, Dday, kids, etc,,,,your history and what has occurred to date.

It'll save precious & expensive time if he already has this info infront of him while he talks to you.

I should expose to the new boss as well?

There is a very real chance they will fire WW, even though the old boss has been fired and gone since Sept.

RTQ,

Ask Steve this evening re exposing to new boss.

Since OM no longer works there, I bet Steve will say it's not necessary,,,,,

But-- ask him.
He's the professional. smile

Well I talked to the OMW. Wonderful christian woman. She knew her husband and my wife were still talking. She stays in constant prayer for her family and mine and has turned her husband over to God.
A few things she said:
- she had no idea until DDay and he was fired
- not sure if her husband loves my wife
- he has always been a kind christian man
- not sure if he will leave for my wife

A Godly woman who is praying her husband returns to God, even if he leaves her.

Don't do that. You will hinder your own plans if she comes here and recognizes you.

Unfortunately, a godly woman without a plan. Turning her husband over to god is hope, it's not a plan. If she wants to save her family she needs to take concrete steps to do so. Prayer can be a part of that of course but it cannot be the whole plan.

Did you talk to her about snooping and verifying NC on her end?

She said she asked her husband if they are talking and he said yes. That was all she shared.

I know we are talking about OMW here but he really knows nothing about this woman. Last thing he needs is a doormat BW who might get scared and blab to OM who blabs to WW about MB. I would not jeopardize a plan with the unknown at this point. OMW is still a wildcard.

Just talked to wife. Remember I told her to be out of house today. She said she call OM. Told him we were getting divorce. He said he didn't know what he would do about his marriage.

WW said she loves him. And has to have him in her life, even if its just to talk.
WW said loves me, doesnt want divorce but has begged me for months for time to sort out her feelings.
