More than likely OM is feeling the noose tightening. Now that your WW is about to become "free," that means OM has to step up to the plate and be responsible.
Nothing drives a stake into an affair faster than having to make it legitimate.

The A my WxW had was done before the divorce papers were signed.
I think that's pretty common. My WXH's affair ended before our divorce, too. He even sent me a text telling me that he was single again after they broke up. Since we were still married and had been for over 26 years at the time, I thought he was somewhat delusional.

Lol Kirby!
Today my stbx told me that "he was divorced in his heart", and doesn't feel any guilt about his sexual affair. Whatever.
LM...my condolences to your wife's next victim. Hang in there man.

After a 4 yr FR, it became CLEAR to me of what you can look for in a FR. And that is the absence of POJA, and/or if your spouse tramples on your boundaries. If someone is not willing to do POJA with you, and they don't respect your boundaries, imo, the relationship is doomed.
Thanks. I tried talking to her face to face last night. I asked her to go to counseling and she said she would think about it. I said oh, i know what that means. She said " i dont want to go." Okay then. She had to leave her sons baseball game early and where did she end up? OM house.

Well here is what im going to do. I have a plan. Its called Divorce. She is done burning my bridges. I said i was on the fence and could see both sides. Well this ploy about her being dumped was all a show just so i would be nicer to her and get divorce over with in a nicer fashion. I was optimistic, she put on a good show, but i suspected this the whole time. I even called her out on it several times. She told me today after i knew she spent the night there again. That is also why i wouldnt back off of no contact letters or anything else.

Mean nasty little creatures waytards are, aren't they?
I want to share this song with you, even though you may not be into the Foo Fighters. This album has played nonstop wherever I am, since it came out.

Yes they are nasty. Its funny how they seem so justified in their own little worlds. I think Divorce will be okay, i mean its not like this WW woman is anyone i ever knew. Its a new creature and i dont like her anymore. One day she will figure life back out and see how bad she has messed up. I think her and her OM just feed on each other making their own perfect little fantasy world lol.

Lost - First time posting in this forum and I don't know what to say to you. The only thing that comes to mind is to take care of the kids and yourself. Don't look back now - look forward. If your WW has a change of heart, then she can chase you down. Then, you'd have a decision to make, but not before then.

Ya you are right Andy. I hope and pray it all works out for you and try to keep yourself from ending up in this section. I know you have tried hard and its a hard road, but keep your chin up.

Well court is tomorrow. Nothing has made a difference in my WW's ways of life. She is still 100% committed to have life her way. Wish me luck! Everything should be spelled out on paper. just have to go before a judge tomorrow and make it final.

i cant do it. I cant go to court. Im gonna make her end it on her own. I spoke with the lawyer and he said everything is signed and nothing will change. I think i will spare myself the extra heart ache.

Since we were still married and had been for over 26 years at the time, I thought he was somewhat delusional.
