She has been calling from a blocked number and not saying anything. She's calling my cell phone though and not his. Her and I have gotten into several verbal arguments over the phone and she called from a blocked number then.

The thing is, when she has done that in the past, my husband got upset and called her and the Affair almost started up again. They did talk over the phone 3 times. My husband called her to tell her to leave us alone, but she drew him in with her tears of "oh it's not me, please don't be mad at me". Just a pitty conversation, played on his feelings and he fell for it. However he put a end to that and they haven't seen or spoke with each other since. So what I think she is doing is trying to aggrevate me by making these block calls so that he will get upset and call her to yell at her. I told him no matter how many prank calls she make, he is never ever to be in contact with her and he total agrees and has not spoken to her since that incident.

I told him if this continues that I was going get a restraining order against her. What do you think?

Yes MelodyLane, she is married. I called and informed her husband what she was doing His thing is, "we're no longer together, but I'll talk to her". He said he told her to leave us alone. See, right now, she doesn't have her husband or my husband. She supposedly want to work things out with her husband, but the feelings are not mutual. My H is totally over her, but she's trying to revive the affair I believe by aggravating me. But, it's not going to work. The thing is, my hsuband said that if I filed the restraing order, things could really get ugly. I may just change our cell phone number, AGAIN. But I'm hoping that it will die down and she'll give up. That's the only thing she does is, every now and the make her prank call.

Get a REALLY LOUD whistle.
Next call from a blocked #, answer:

"Hello?"

If there is silence, blow the whistle as loud and as long as you can.
grin

If she speaks:
blow the whistle as loud and as long as you can.

Personally I like the fog horn in a can some people take to sports games with them to make noise.

Fitting for this OW.

Whatever you do, make sure it's at at least 110 decibels to cause as much ear-ringing for the perp as possible.

26 years, you could put a block on the phone so your phone does not accept "private calls". Call your service and they will set it up.

26, uh, well. . . Now don't get all up in a wad grieving over her misfortune. I know you are dong the Christian thing worrying about her and all, but hey, she got herself in the mess she is in. When someone jumps in a sewer and complains that it is brown and smells bad, then wants to blame everyone else, you are doing the right thing by feeling sympathy for her plight.

Just kidding!

I know God forgives. And I do too, eventually. Sometimes it takes way longer than other times. I may have a few I haven't gotten around to yet. But I will, later.

LOVE the horn/whistle idea.

Or you could just say "Direct all calls to my attorney. His number is....."

Or start speaking Spanish really fast

After my A, we changed both our numbers. It was a pain, but nobody ever called us.

Whatever you do, DO NOT let H call her...ever

Hey, I like the whistle and horn ideas, and boy do I wish I knew how to speak spanish.

Larry...sympathy, pity from me for her??? LOL, never that. Come on, I know we've never met in person, but I think you know me better then that, LOL. What was she thinking to fall for a man that's been married for 26 years, especially being the type of man he is. That's the way I feel and I even told her that once. Yes he did make a big mistake, but I mean did she honesty believe he was going to leave me? He never even told her such a thing, he even told her how much he loves me. It sound strange doesn't it, I'm thinking "If you loved me so, why did you do that".

I changed my number once because of her, and someone gave it to her not knowing the situation. Now everyone that does have our number knows not to give it to anyone without our permission. AT&T charges $30 per Iphone to change the number. I just hate to go thruogh getting my number out to everyone again. I had it changed about a month and a half ago.

When she calls again, I'll start yelling to the tip of my voice, or I think my husband does have a whistle, or I go to speaking fake spanish then she'll wonder what in the world is going on.

No. You can damage your vocal cords doing this.
Plus, she will know it is you and keep calling.
Keep the whistle next to the phone.
When I was young, I had someone call me for "heavy breathing" ... Mom suggested the whistle.
Only had to do that two times. It completely stopped the "breather".

An air horn works too, but it's way to loud for my own ears.
And, if you have pets .... the air horn is something very cruel to their ears.
A whistle is not as loud for pets.

I have never answered a number I do not know. Can't you just let her go to voicemail?

(BTW- do one of those CHEESY "Hello! You have reached the happy household of 26 and WH! We are not "available" right now, so if you'd like to leave your name and #... (you get the idear')

Let her listen to that over an 'dover.

Heeeeeee.

my DD blocked her wayward Dad's number from her cell phone so when he calls he gets some automated voice that says this # has been blocked.

Why should you have to give up YOUR # again especially the OW could probably find the new one out for a small charge.

There is no charge to do this. We have Verizon.

I'd be soooo tempted to do this. Then I'd go ahead and change my number. Contact is contact.
