No I was just seeing where her head was at because the kids have their own rooms here. Ok, I didn't think you meant that but just wanted to make sure. Carry on, Sir.

Also remember, if it does goto a custody battle. You 2 oldest are at the age that the courts will take there wishes into account. They will allow them to decide who they want to live with full time and who gets visitation.
She will not be able to force them either.

Let her know what her options are to stay in the marriage, you think she doesn't care maybe right now she doesn't think she has a choice, give her something to think about...........
Be loving and firm, be the husband that stands behind his wife and family......
Be strong when she can't be.......she knows she has f**ked up.........
Tell her you will fight for your family and not because you want to break up your family but that you have no choice considering her choices........
good luck and know you are not alone, a little strength now is what is needed.......
It takes time.....

Thanks. I found out why she wants the cell password. I made a fb comment via iPhone and it said I made it via blackberry. She thinks I added a line. She asked again for the password and I said if she were willing to work on the marriage and move home, she could have all the passwords. She said wow!

If she does not pay for the phone bill why would it matter if you added a line? She is trying to control you any way she can and her hold is slipping. She can feel it and is panicking.
On the up side, she is still following you on facebook. Make sure you post a few things that you do with the kids. Make her realize what she is missing out on.

I agree she is grasping at straws but you know what no matter how she spins it she had an affair and has moved away from her family.........
She will not find a reason to use as an excuse to leave you ..........just keep saying the words I am doing what I need to do to save my marraige and my family. that you love her and when she decides that the marriage is something she wants and NC for life has been established with the OM, then she is welcome back and the two of you can work together to have a great marriage and family.........
hang in there this time line takes strength and calm........

OM had a friend call me to try to convince me to stop getting him in trouble. I said I'm not letting him off the hook. He should have thought about that before he did what he did. I lose my W and he expects me to just walk away? I don't think so.

Good job, GJM. No need to be so polite next time he calls, in my opinion EDIT: Just saw it was OM's friend that you spoke to. Nevermind!

I lose my W and he expects me to just walk away? I don't think so.  His "friend" should encourage him to man up and face up the consequences. This could be a real lesson for the OM and help him become a MAN instead of a weasel who gets it on with someone else's wife.

I lose my W and he expects me to just walk away? I don't think so. p.s. I betcha your wife will be working the same angle and will try and manipulate you into dropping the charges against the OM. She might even say something like "if you drop the charges, I will give you another chance." Don't fall for that. If she does something like that, tell her that you are not interested in meeting her conditions, but rather are concerned that she meet your conditions.

Right, receiving "another chance" in exchange for AN ACT OF CARE FOR THE POSOM is just about the most degrading thing I can think of. Yuck. Besides, it is the WW who should be wondering what she can to do receive another chance.

He needs to keep an eye on his 'friend' because his 'friend' isn't afraid to boink another man's wife.

I don't know, mb. Was that a properly written sentence? You might need a gerund in there. We'll wait for NG to check it for us.
