Typical wayward nonsense. They might as well be drawling in a drunken slur.

How does a women speak critically about a WIFE when she is the mistress!! If the wife is crazy what exactly does that make her?!

You would have to be drunk on an affair to be able to say and listen to this stuff. To you and I it is disgusting but they sound normal to each other.


What would you do if you were not afraid?

Ok. Are you convinced that this A is not over?

FB the OW BH and give him your number and ask him to call you. This will increase your credibility. Then prepare for the call. Most likely OW BH will be in shock and may not believe you at first. Remain calm and sympathetic. Tell him that you are fighting for your M and have heartbroken children at home since your WH has left. Ask him to help you keep his WW away from your H.

WWN. You are doing great ! Which MIL did you inform - OW or WH.

Don't worry about pushing the two waywards together.

Reality will hit your WH hard when this OW throws him under the bus after exposure. They always do...they run crying.

Remember...cool, calm and in control. Do not engage in fights with your WH.

well done WWN,

If you stated exposure please consider that if you have access to the OW Facebook page you will need to go to her friends list ASAP and copy and paste her friends list onto a word document because she will likely block you from her facebook page soon so if it would be wise to get her friends list before this happens. You will need it for full exposure.

Of course. I feel like an idiot now as you already stated that your family knew.

Good job!! You rock.

Your only regret would be not doing it. This isn't just your best chance, it's your only chance.

Exactly. You have nothing to lose except a loveless WH who likes to eat cake.

ETA: This is your best shot at turning WH back into the man he was before. Let him face the consequences of his choices.

I'm not even sure he still wants me at the moment so I just have to bide my time.

Are you planning on doing a trickle exposure? A trickle exposure is very ineffective, because it is effective enough to kill the affair, but only just enough to infuriate the WS enough to come after you. See, now that he knows you are doing a little exposure he can stop you.

I love her!@! rotflmao

CAn you find the OW's mother on facebook and send her a private message? Send her this:

Dear Mother of skanky,

It grieves me to write this letter but I believe you should be aware that your daughter, skankho, is having an affair with my husband, Joe. We have been married for XX years and have 3 little 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 OW to persuade her to leave my husband alone.

I would appreciate it if you would call me at xxx-www-xxxx.

Mrs Whichwaynow

I would see you not getting any fireworks at this point a good thing it probably means the OW is too busy dealing wi her mess to contact you WH right now and tell him what's going on.

Your monitoring the phone right now and as you have not seen any contact from the OW to your WH this could mean that she is truly busy mopping up her mess and is so deep in the dung that she has t had the chance to tell him about your exposure yet.
