You and son can go pay her a little visit. And make sure you're both dressed nicely - as if you were going to a party. Showing up unannounced at her door, looking proper and and dignified, you then tell her in a very calm - but steely - voice, that you and DS are her BF's family. No need for scenes and hysterics. A steady gaze, looking right into her eyes letting her know that YOU KNOW and aren't putting up with it, that her world is about to become a world of hurt, is just around the corner. Mel, where is the Kurt Russell/Wyatt Earp clip...?

She won what? A guy who walked out on a loyal wife and his child? A sneak and coward?
I know you adore your H. But.....she didn't win HIM. She is with a dark and perverted version of HIM.
You don't want the guy she has but the goodish guy you married.
Hope that makes sense.
Yes, you do try to work a plan to create havoc in the fantasy WH/OW have and try to do nothing to harm your own spirit/finances/the marriage.
Marriage Builders is the best way to deal with infedelity. No matter the outcome, it helps you feel sure you did everything humanly in your power to save the marriage and your own self respect.

I would get all of her FB FRIENDS/FAMILY and send them all a letter and expose her.
There is a exposure fb letter somewhere on here.

Hope that makes sense. I don't post much but I read on here a lot and I felt compelled to chime in here and say I totally agree with reading. OW has won nothing. Keep your chin up and listen to the advice.

The one thing I am "afraid" of is that I make more money than him. I feel that if I shake up his world he will hurt me financially in a divorce..

Ellegirl, sorry that you are here but have you exposed your husband's affair yet? If you haven't, tell the world right now especially his family and friends and tell them exactly what he did. Your H is inthe 40/20 of his life. He is in his 40's and has been married 20 something years. That is when most affairs happen. Eventually this affair will die! Just hang in there if you want him back.
I make more than my H does and he has been threatening me for a couple of weeks. Go consult a lawyer to see where your options are, it can be free or only about $200 and the $200 will come off of the lawyer's fees if you hire them. Plus, your H will have to pay child support. I've already checked out my rights and WH has been trying to blow smoke up my butt. Check out yours. i don't know what state you live in but some states have abandonment laws in place.
Still hoping and praying.
BW-me 47yrs WH-him 50yrs married 24yrs, together 25 yrs,DD 25yrs, DD 22yrs(granddaughter born 3/14/2012). D-Day#1 discovered cell phone calls 6/30/2009 D-Day#2 7/26/2009 Plan D 06/2012/WH served 8/17/12 WH left 7/25/2009/WH moved in with OW 7/29/2009 Trying to reconcile 12/30/2009/left 10/22/2010 2nd OW 8/2011? and living in Idaho. "Dochas" Gaelic for hope which I have with me at all times because it is tattooed on my lower back.

The one thing I am "afraid" of is that I make more money than him. I feel that if I shake up his world he will hurt me financially in a divorce.. Then I would do everything in your power to prevent divorce. Your current path is much more likely to end in divorce. If you have any hope of saving this marriage - and there are no guarantees- it will lie in causing hell in the affair. And secondly, since he has abandoned you and your son, I would suggest filing for separation so you are protected legally.

OK...I've been working on trying to expose his A to OW's family and friends via FB information. My family and his family already know and will have nothing to do with him any longer.
One thing I notice too about my H is that he seems so pathetic and sad. Friends who have seen him have noticed it too and say he looks miserable. He's also lost about 50 pounds. Kind of reminds me of the song "if it makes you happy, why the hell are you so sad?"

There is a exposure fb letter somewhere on here. When you expose to family, what about her children? Just adult children?

[ When you expose to family, what about her children? Just adult children? Let them all know. Kids are not harmed by the truth, they are harmed by lying and cheating. I would strongly recommend that you go pay them a personal visit. Facebook exposure suggestions Dear friend of Skankyhola, It is with great regret that I send this letter but I believe all of her friends should be aware that Skanky is having an affair with my husband, Joe. We have been married for 5 years and have 3 heartbroken children. They have been having this affair since October according to the evidence. I would be happy to provide the evidence to anyone who asks. I would ask that you use your influence with Skanky to persuade her to leave my husband alone. You should also watch your own husbands around her because she is no friend to marriage. I would appreciate it if someone would notify her parents and ask them to call me at xxx-www-xxxx. Thank you, BW another great post about facebook exposures: Tabby: Go to the OP's profile page. Look at his or her friends list. If they don't have too many, you can send to all of them. If they have hundreds (and many people do), then you'll have to target them more specifically. You are looking for people who have the same last name, or somebody who writes on the OP's wall frequently. You can also look for people who live in the same city or work in the same place.
When you identify these people, send each one a personal message. The personal message should state that your WS and OP are having an affair and that you are trying to save your marriage. State whatever proof you have, though don't be graphic (i.e. say you have pictures or texts but don't say what's in them).
Change your profile picture to one that clearly shows you and your spouse and your children if possible. Some of these strangers that you send a message to will click on your profile. They should see a happy couple/family. They might even recognize your WS and if he/she has been introduced to this person under false pretences, this will increase the impact of the exposure. Affairees don't just lie to their BS's, but they often lie to other people as well. If they see that children are being affect, it will have an equally powerful effect. Make sure the picture is recent enough that your spouse is recognizable by a casual aquaintance.
Remember, when you are writing to strangers, their initial gut reaction is going to be "who the he** is this?" The message has to be very polite and adhere to the basic facts. Let them verify your story on your profile page and do any further investigating on their own (which will stir up even more exposure).
Oh and one more thing - send all your messages at the same time. Not one message sent to everybody (only put one addressee in the "To" box), but go one by one by one until you are finished. You should also write down these people's names somewhere. The instant that the OP hears about what you have done, they will block you and you will no longer have access to their friends list. To add to Tabby's excellent suggestions, send the messages a minute apart so fb doesn't shut you down for flooding. Before you start, copy and paste all the friends into a WORD do

Does your WH hold down a steady job? If he does, follow him when he leaves work. Find out where he goes. You should go to his place of work, find his car, and stick a hidden GPS device on his car. You will feel better once you have gained more data concerning his whereabouts. Is there a history of mental illness? Of drug or alcohol abuse? Is there a history of other behaviors, such as gambling or porn? *LINK* to GPS info

My husband left our family totally out of the blue. He never once stated that he was unhappy and we did spend at leat 15 hours alone every week...dinners, talking, sharing a bottle of wine, fishing. I thought everything was fine.
I do believe he left for OW..which was about 8 months ago. One question that I have is even though I rarely see him, when I do he has this HUGE amount of anger directed at me. Shouldn't he be happy? I approached him one day and asked to talked. He told me to leave him the hell alone. Also, after 8 months, why still deny the affair?
I have exposed the affair to everyone. Not sure if it even exists any more because he will not tell me and our son where he lives. So obviously my son has not visited him in 8 months.

ellegirl,
Please stick to one thread. Don't start other ones unless it's on a topic not related to your thread. It makes it easy for new people to read your sitch in one place and to provide input.
You need to get all the info on this woman and I agree that you should go there to find your H.
The next step is to file for abandonment and slap him with the reality of legal work.
You're worried about being hurt financially, but that's going to happen if you end up divorced regardless.
Does your son communicate with him in any way?

I too believe you should file for a legal separation if that is available in your state.
CHILD and spousal support.
Might as well deliver some consequences.

In 8 months he has had no voice or physical contact with his dad. 8. What if my spouse leaves me for someone else or is living with someone else? Because Wisconsin is a "no-fault" state, one party's infidelity is irrelevant for most issues. The court cannot consider this fact in dividing property awarding maintenance, setting support or other financial matters. It can impact on custody and placement issues, however, if this significant other has a negative or harmful impact on the minor children.

With the complete lack of basic communication (other than the texting), he must be guarding a secret that is bigger than big. A lie to OW or to you. It must be something he is majorly in fear of being discovered and revealed.
Be prepared to find out something in addition to where he is. But discover it, you must.
