well here is an interesting update, OW's mothere just called and she is angry at me for having sent the e mails to OW's children and she is begging me not to send the pictures, she says she does not understand why I would want to turn the children against their mother, I told her it was her daughter that did that not me.

Don't engage a waywards mother either. You are going to do what you have to do to save your marriage. MOST people IRL believe that affairs should be kept secret. I would be RICH if I could get a Loonie(dollar) from every person who told me not to tell people and it should be kept between WH and I. This is a new world. DrH suggests it and I believe in him totally. If he told me to sky write it over a baseball game, I would. smile

LOL Yea I kinda like that idea. Next on my list is her co-workers, I text OW and told her to stay tuned for the next chapter. Let her fret as to which direction I will go. My daughter spoke to her daughter last night, none of her daughters are speaking t her and I thinnk its killing her although apparently one of their major problems with her is that she has not admitted to doing something wrong nor has she offerred an apology. I don't think she ever imagined I would go to her mother.

Good job, teaser. smile You're doing fantastic with exposure. I wouldn't text OW again though.....just do it and let her sit in darkness wondering whether the onslaught is going to stop! She'll constantly be bugging WH about it, what a great LB. smile

ok so today I met with OW's in-laws, they were very sympathetic, mother in-law had already been told about the A. I showed them the pics and mails, they stayed with me for a while. They will sit with their son and try to guide him out of the marriage. They did ask me though to maybe restrain myself in terms of the pics, the e mails they don't care aout.
Also, I had been hankering to expose the A to OW's sister, well I finall found her e mail and sent that this morning.
On another note, can someone please recommend a good sim card reader?

Radioshack probably has them. Not sure if you have Future Shop in the US, but they definitely do, or Best Buy.

well I can safely say that the proverbial [censored] has hit the fan, OW is apparently furious at me for all the people I am exposing the A to, her mother called me and said that I am an evil person for doing what I am doing, her sister tells me that I need help-I don't care, now they all know, they will have to deal with it.

Teaser, you need to go back and read the material. Exposure is not to be used for vindictiveness, it is only to STOP the affair and have others made aware so there can be other eyes watching. If you are exposing out of anger, you're going about this all wrong and it's going to come back and bite you.

Slow down. You speak of your rage and anger a lot but what's going on between you and your (F?)WH? What are you guys doing to restore your marriage? How is your WH handling all your anger and exposing? What are you doing to heal?

teaser, I've been away for the weekend and just got caught up.

Good that you've exposed, but the princess makes a good point. Exposure is not "justifiable revenge." Its purpose is solely to disrupt the affair.

Has your H gone NC with OW? What's going on between the two of you now?

I have started individual counselling, its way too soon for marriage counselling. As for WH, we are talking, he is contrite and wants to work on the marriage, I am not sure at this point if thats what I want, the affair went on for too long, it was with a friend, and it was being conducted in my house and in my bed-sorry I am not too concerned at this point about his feelings, I am trying to deal with my outbursts, also taking meds.

WH and I are in the talking mode, he is being brutally honest as is recommended, however, almost every conversation brings out new info and sets me off all over again, but he is trying his best not to lie(I think). I am still not sure that there is enough left of this marriage to work on. However, it is not a decision that has been definitively made.

I am so sorry. Having the A conducted in your home makes it really tough. We've had BS's here who have walked in on sexual acts in their own home, and that is really tough. I guess you can be thankful that didn't happen to you, but of course that doesn't make it any less painful.

You don't have to decide today. Let this all sink in and take your time.

XWH - 57

12/25/06 - Dday - WH promised NC. Plan A in effect. Thought we were in recovery.

6-3-07 - Dday#2 Found out NC never took place and A never ended. Found MB NC promised again, but WH would not write NC letter.

9/07 - Dday #3. Still lying and sneaking around. Plan B implemented
WH wants nothing to do with me

What is recommended is "radical honesty", NOT "brutal honesty".

I think the term brutal is just a poor choice when in the context of marriage recovery.

There are ways to speak the truth that are kind, not brutal.

Yea,the honesty thing is really playing havoc with my progress best I can say in favor of it is, dump it all on me now so that it is all included in the one recovery process
