The other day I went to Plan B. Then yesterday, Thursday, XGF already was trying to contact me via phone.

In my Plan B letter, I specifically told her that we were only to communicate about our DS via text or email. I also stated in letter that she could communicate with DS when he was with me via phone. (This loophole is fixed. Took several e-mails. Working on getting IM in place.)

When she called I asked her if she was willing to agree to my conditions. She was not. The call ended.

Got a text stating that she was sorry and she thought it was Friday. DS is going to be with me later today, Friday.

Why do the waywards do this?
Is she testing my boundaries?
Does it mean anything when they test?

She is testing you to see whether you really mean it. If you do, she knows she's going to have to adjust her game plan accordingly. Initially she'll want to do what she needs to do in order to keep both of you in the picture.

The goal is for you to remain in a committed Plan B until she realizes that you mean it and she gets rid of OM. That's why it's important to stick tight to your Plan B.

Hello CK,

Why did you go to Plan B without following the guidelines of having an IM in place FIRST?

All you have done is show her you don't REALLY mean your Plan B and she can skate right through it anytime she wants...

How are you planning on exchanging your child without seeing her?

Don't want to pinch your thread Clark but that is a good question and I wanted to know the answer to that too.

Could I also ask why the WS takes the OP to special places you use to go to together?!!

Thanks, Harmony.

They don't look at it as special places the two of you used to go to. They take the OP there because those places are special places to THEM. Remember, with a wayward it's all about me me me me.

Harmony, the better question is, while in Plan B, how do YOU know that he is taking OW to these "special places?"

I would say, from reading on here for a year, is that the WS are trying to make their lives "normal" so the affair is not wrong. They try to find themselves again not realizing that with OP they are lost.

Hi Scotland

I don't know anything since he left but when he was living with me and he took OW away for the weekend he took her to a restaurant we use to go. That was one example, he took them to places he know I really liked.

I just remember on reading a thread somewhere that there is an explanation for this, that they are trying to recreate what you had.

Decided that Plan B is better than Plan A smile You don't know what waywardness they are upto!!

My elbow was jiggered. Had to go a week earlier than I had anticipated.

IM in place. How do I convey this information to wayward? Start using IM to convey this information? Reading Scotties thread on how she implemented her Plan B.

Right now the exchange point is pick up from school or daycare. Do not need to see her at all. Plan for the X-Mas/New Year holiday being thought out now.

It seems to me that having children while in Plan B can be some of its weakest points of attack.

What are some of those attack points that waywards use?

@Harmony - [tj] to your hearts content. No problem.
