I know what you mean, I havent seen my WH in months and I am so much stronger! I would forgive him but no way would I endure his nonsense ever again.
When you have a firm plan and are no longer relying on what 'She said' as your guide (exhausting - right?) You will go from strength to strength. Yes, exhausting. I've lost 16 lbs maybe more. I used to go to the gym every day. Now I don't have the energy (yet).

Thanks for asking...the exposure plan is going slow, but I'm trying to be thorough as most everyone already knows that she had the affair. I copied all of her FB contacts so I can tell those that are closer to her and might have an influence. I still have access to her gmail account and I copied those contacts too. Good man! Do you see a facebook page for the OM and his wife?

You will. You will be amazed at how empowered you are about to get.
Are you getting sleep? Making the most of this break? Eating? You have a hill to climb!
It took me months to get back to the gym, dont worry about that. Your to do list for now reads
1) sleep
2) eat
3) exposure
4) get good friends around you
What would you do if you were not afraid?

GJM,
The exposure clock is ticking and the ball is rolling. The next thing they'll do is bring OM in and read him his rights.
The cat will be out of the bag at that point and she and OM will go into damage control mode.
They'll start calling family and telling them that you're crazy and are under the delusion that she's having an affair.
This will really hurt the impact of your exposure.
OMW is a lost cause for now, but keep trying.
Expose immediately to her family, her friends, and anyone in your family you want support from.
I also know the fear you have about exposing to your own family. How will they ever accept her after what she's done?
Well, I regret not exposing to mine.

I have told my family. I just need to tell her sister and her boss. The last time I told them (2009), they didn't seem to care. They supported her no matter what. They're just as disfunctional as she is. They don't value marriage as I do and they think I'm trying to turn them against her.

Tell them anyway just to let them know. You arent just after active discouragement (althought its bloody good when it happens) What your after is giving WW a feeling like she's surrounded 'everyone knows' 'I cant spin him as a real boyfriend now' 'people are talking' etc.
Dont forget about OMs family friends

let them know that you simply want their support in your effort to save your marriage and ask for their help in ending the affair.
It's good to have support on your end.
Tell your kids.
You should read G6's thread. He is in the same place as you are but he's got the exposure ball rolling slowly right now. It's slow, but it's rolling.

Sad thing is, I'm not angry anymore. I should be because that would help me get through this. I will be with my kids this evening. Would a letter to the OMW be inappropriate? You're not angry because you are following a plan. That's a great thing! Anger is just spent energy. You should talk to OMW personally.

I noticed that there is a couple of letter formats to expose WW. Is the format for use in writing or should it be in a phone call?

What are your plans for that? Those should be done in person if possible. Whether or not you expose via letter or phone call depends on the person. For her parents, I would call them up, tell them about the affair and ask them to use their influence to persuade her to end her affair. Give them the facts about the OM, that he is a married man. GJM, don't make the mistake of doing a trickle exposure. It will backfire on you. Go large or go home!
