Does any one know where to get voice activated recorder in Sydney? I tried Ebay but they are taking very long time to get it delivered.

If there are Target stores in Sydney, they might have them in the electronics department.

hitman--have you checked Amazon?

If you're ordering online today/were checking yesterday, from a US site, shipping is probably delayed because of today being Vet's Day.

Hitman, try [censored] Smith Electronics. Sydney should have those stores. If not there is an online shop.

I felt a bit indignant about poor old D#!k being censored, he is a national icon over here! And no sex toys are in stock for those wondering...

Yes, every one was supportive including her parents. Now that she has realized that I have been speaking she wants to know the reason why I went public. I told her that I am trying to help her but she is hesitant to know the reason & I have told her that I would be telling her in a couple of weeks time.

Now the issue is my parents and my family wants me to distance myself from her and not sure what to tell them as they feel really bad about the PA. Please suggest how to convince them?

Tell her the truth. Tell her the reason you exposed is because you love her and want a marriage with her and have other man in your life.

Now the issue is my parents and my family wants me to distance myself from her and not sure what to tell them as they feel really bad about the PA. Please suggest how to convince them?

Tell them that you have an immense amount of respect for them, but that what you need is their support in making the marriage work. Tell them you have a plan for recovering your marriage and that is what you need support with.

A heart felt Thank you very much celticvoyager for being with me in this tough times.

Well, coming back to my scenario I havn't yet mentioned to her about the id. Although she asked me where did I get the id from for which I told her that I got the information from a private detective. Now, I asked her to open up and confront the truth again she speaks like that is all I have and all that crap without actually telling me about the email id, or I doubt even they have been sleeping with each other as the conversation between us went like this

Me: So that night did your friends(girls) accompany you in that car? I know about that as well.
Her: Now what do you want to do?

(before that I had told her that I want to be with her and save the marriage)

After a few moments.....
Her: Whatever I have told you earlier is the truth, Yes, the girls had accompanied me on that trip. we didn't go to any hotel, party or discotheque.

it leaves me to speculate that her first answer gave it all. I also read in her notepad that she likes to play with his body when I confronted about that she said I am understanding it all wrong.

her mom had called the other day, Although I had told the truth to her mom about her being physical with the guy, she completely denied being physical with the guy and I had confronted her about kissing him some time before that. She had agreed to that.

in another incident about the guy's fb profile where in one of his wall postings his friend has shamed him for crossing the limits, for which she started defending like it could be a joke and all that crap, Honestly speaking I don't believe that.

what am I suppose to do even after this she is not willing to speak the truth?

her dad had called yesterday and consoled and encouraged her to be strong and asked her to come back. not sure how things would go.

my family is adamant on leaving this girl and coming back to India. her family also called her back to India. I am scared if I do go to India that they might out muscle me. they all seems to be worried and panicked by the revelation.

I think you should tell your family and her family that neither of you will be coming back to India. The OM is there and distance is best for the marriage.
Could you arrange for someone to bring your child to you?
Tell your wife you want the marriage to survive and thrive, that it should be based on being open and honest with each other and meeting each others most important emotional needs. That you want a passionate, romantic relationship that is monogamous and for that to develop, she should never have contact of any sort with the OM again.

You are very welcome.

I agree. Her first answer says more than the latter. The latter one is a cover up. She is trying to make you doubt yourself.

I also read in her notepad that she likes to play with his body when I confronted about that she said I am understanding it all wrong.

What other way is there to understand it? I believe this is more of her trying to cover her actions. You should tell her that lying is worse than the truth and she must be honest.


her mom had called the other day, Although I had told the truth to her mom about her being physical with the guy, she completely denied being physical with the guy and I had confronted her about kissing him some time before that. She had agreed to that.

Kissing is physical. Not intercourse, but it is physical contact.

in another incident about the guy's fb profile where in one of his wall postings his friend has shamed him for crossing the limits, for which she started defending like it could be a joke and all that crap, Honestly speaking I don't believe that.

So she is helping him cover the shame by lying? She should not have a facebook account anymore.

what am I suppose to do even after this she is not willing to speak the truth?

You be extremely vigilant. You keep track of everything and keep spying to make sure that she is not still in contact (sounds like she is by the FB post.)

her dad had called yesterday and consoled and encouraged her to be strong and asked her to come back. not sure how things would go.

For what purpose? Is he siding with her?

my family is adamant on leaving this girl and coming back to India. her family also called her back to India. I am scared if I do go to India that they might out muscle me. they all seems to be worried and panicked by the revelation.

I think going back would be a bad idea for your recovery right now. Reemphasize that you are going to try and reconcile with her where you are. Have them send your DD to you.
