Ok, I've sent out about 10 and then I got another warning...so I guess I'll hold off for a little bit. I need some support here that I'm doing the right thing. I'm really nervous. You did good! I think thats enough, don't you?

Ok, sent out about 9 more...mostly moms or older women. I've tried some family members, but some were hard to find. I think I'm going to bed now.

No real action overnight. Her ex, one of the ones I sent letter to on FB, said, "No" . I guess that was in response to my question about using their influence. I wasn't expecting much from this.

I'm not expecting much from this....I guess I'll focus on my little ones and my finances. I feel real hopeless today. My husband is so stiff-necked....I guess he has really had enough of me. Maybe God wants me to move on . I just hate it for my kids and our family. I guess that I'll just hope for time to kill it.

Ok, I did find the other one I used...here it is and let me know what you think.
Dear friend of OW,
It grieves me to write this letter but I believe all of her insert her name here instead of "her" friends should be aware that she Same thing - use her name. "Her" sounds too...friendly. Keep it business-like is having an affair with my husband, *****. They have been having this affair since at least March according to the evidence. We have been married for 20 years and have 4 children, ages 14, 11, 9 and 7. They are heartbroken about their father�s affair. I found out about this on April 27th after overwhelming evidence. I plan on fighting for this marriage. As of today, he has recorded his change of address at her home. They don't need to know this, and may well say "Oh, well, it's too late - he's already moved in with her."
I would be happy to provide the evidence to anyone who asks.
I am asking that you use your influence with OW to persuade her to leave my husband alone. You should also watch your own husbands around her because she is no friend to marriage.

Ok, I've sent out about 10 and then I got another warning...so I guess I'll hold off for a little bit. I need some support here that I'm doing the right thing. I'm really nervous. Another warning from who, hope...Facebook (themselves) or from someone you had messaged? Either way, don't let this get you down, you ARE doing the right thing and you are doing one heckuva great job at it, too! Funny how your sending out TRUTHFUL messages can be something worth getting a warning over, anyway, it's not like you're posting...pornography (or something like that) on people's walls. Wow, some of the stuff I see posted over there on some folks' walls simply blows me away but, yet, they don't get warnings for being inappropriate and YOU, someone who is just trying to save your marriage...does??? Ha, talk about a**-backwards. Don't EVER feel like you are in the wrong here, hope, you are NOT!!! Honestly, if there were more people in the world JUST LIKE YOU...the world would be a better place. Oh, and if you need more help with getting your letters out, shoot, I'll even give you a hand there if you'd like, all you have to do is ask (my email addy is down below). If you already have all the help you need/want...great, but don't be afraid to ask if you want more, I'd gladly give you a hand if needed. Take care, hope, you deserve the best of everything and I am praying that you get it. Hugs to you!

Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.

T&C,
I got a warning from FB because of sending out messages too fast. I just started back again when I had the opportunity. I've only received two replies and they were not very nice...but not ugly either. One person said, "I'm sorry, but this is not my concern; please stop sending me these messages."
I guess maybe she would feel differently if it was herself going through this experience. Maybe one day he'll realize what he has lost...most importantly, his children.

HopeE, I understand that you don't feel strong at all sometimes. I too felt the same way. I still do. People constantly post that on my thread and I am in disbelief. I also feel like there was so much more I could have done. You know what? I did the BEST I could when I did it. Now I am in Plan B and I am enjoying the time for personal recovery. Does it suck? Heck ya. Does it get better? HECK YA.
Make a life for YOU. Think of it as if your DH has died. You would grieve and then what? Crawl into the grave? Nope. You would learn how to go on with life without WH. You would do your best to make a great life for you and your Kiddles. You are doing GREAT. Trust us.

Thanks Scotland,
The encouragement is great here....I need it so desperately.
The OW's ex responded to me on facebook. At first he just said, no this morning. Then I got this from him this afternoon:
"I have no influence on her, I hope your situation works out and I hope your information is incorrect. Best of luck to you. God Bless."
It was nice to have a friendly reply....I've still not heard from anyone else.

It isn't important that you hear anything back really. You got your message across and now everyone in their lives will know that they have been having an affair, and this isn't a GREAT LOVE as they wanted to play it off later. I only received one reply to my messages sent to POSOW's family(she blocked me before I could get all of her friends, LONG STORY). The only response I received was, "I know POSOW but I don't know you." That was IT. Not important to me. I was just trying to find her mom and brother and I am certain that they now know. Goody.  You are doing so great. You will only feel better and better as this time goes on. Hang tough. Have you read any of the fun threads? Move around the site a bit. There are silly threads, with jokes and stuff. Some fun things. It's a good relief. I also watched some movies when I was upset and feeling down. Take some time to take care of yourself so you can take good care of those kiddos. Some of the best advice I was given while I was starting Plan B was to Plan A my kiddos.

That's a great idea about plan A my kiddos. I'm taking them to the special Olympics to see my brother run. It will be a great family outing.
OW's ex just messaged me again and told me that he finds it hard to believe that she would be involved. He said that although they did divorce, he's known her for 27 years and doubts that my information is correct. He said PI tend to run up those bills.

Okay, thank him and then stop talking to him. You KNOW what is going on. Besides, you have known your WH for 20+ years and you never would have thought it about him either.

I betcha he is fishing for her so anything you say back to him will go straight to her. What if you said something like this: Thanks so much for your kind note. I wish it was not true, but my PI has some very incriminating photos that we presented in court. I have been married for 20 years to WH and it is hard to believe of him too, so I know how you feel. Everyone who knows him is in shock. Thanks again for your kindness.

That's true.....I have it from her own mouth that she thought he was going through a divorce. I know the truth. You're right...I didn't text him back. The very idea that she didn't show up to court proves she's guilty. They're just laying low until divorce is final....well, I've got a surprise for that too. It will just depend on how patient I can be.
I also just had my brother notify him about paying his own car insurance...that should go over real well.

You are right about PI's being expensive. But worth it for sure.

I like what ML posted too. That is a good way to respond to him. He most likely contacted her about it(GOOD THING BTW) and she gaslighted him. Now he wants to say stuff to you so he can report back. You got this.

Melody,
I copied your letter and sent it back to him. He did not repond yet, but I'm really not expecting anything new from him.
I didn't think about these people talking with her first.

I didn't think about these people talking with her first. The really nice thing about this, hope, is that instead of your H and the OW having a nice chat this evening, they will be gnashing their teeth over how to do damage control. AND, the great thing is you don't have to hear a cross word because you are in Plan B. They will only have each other to lovebust.
