He has been with the sheriff's dept. for 23 years and just said there wasn't anything there from what he could tell from reading their texts. Said very few phone calls, etc.

OK but let's look at your account:

This actually came up on my STBX's thread because he erased everything, claiming it was all innocent, and he was hammered for that, he was asked, why would you erase evidence that would exonerate you? Think about it. Yes, those posters were all correct because it was a PA.

Why would he have deleted the phone number and then secretly added it back on? Why a secret meeting out on the boat? This is behavior of people in an affair, SF, not innocent friends who have nothing to hide.

OW1 BH sounds like he was never suspicious of this being an affair so he never did any real super sleuthing. I noticed he doesn't mention anything about a VAR or keylogger or having seen the emails or having his WW take a poly. His reassurance really doesn't mean anything, SF.

He and his W shared an email account. He snooped a lot the past three years and had nothing on them, but a friendship. He also said there was no other phone, so I imagine he knows this from snooping as he told me that he has access to multiple ways of snooping/exposing the truth. My H deleted any contact with her because he knew that I would be upset if they were friends or in contact as it had come up in conversation before and he knew I didn't approve. My H didn't think it was right that I told him who he could and couldn't be friends with. Immature...yes!

Did OW BH tell you that he had used a VAR and keylogger to snoop on her? Why would he do that if he didn't suspect an A?

Did OW BH know about the lunches and the outing on the boat with your WH?

She was hanging out with the guys after work for drinks, so he was suspicious.

Yes, he knew about every meeting, lunch, boat and was there most of the time when texts were exchanged. He also checked her phone and cell phone records.

Her H said she tells EVERYONE that she loves them and it is strictly friendly! Notice my H told her that everything would be ok after he told her ILY back? He was talking about her marriage... That everything would work out. I think my H took things the wrong way, which resulted in fantasies, etc.

If you read the various threads on this forums where men come here with problems with their wives, we often have to convince them of the affair because their denial is so deep. There are 3 to 4 right now on this forum that didn't believe us when we told them their wives were having an affair. We have another couple of wayward wives here who fooled their husbands for years. It is so easy to do. The OW#1 could have easily called your H from her workplace, hidden a secret affair phone or any # of tricks. And the OWH would never be the wiser.

Your typical husband doesn't WANT to believe it. A 5 year old can outsmart a spouse who is in denial. And most are.

He should be able to pass a polygraph if that is the truth, but he flunked.

A man who is defending his W having her "own space" while they work on the M and defending her traveling overseas and hookups with old boyfriends because "she has trouble disconnecting" is a man who is obviously in denial.

That is completely crazy.

She doesn't have a work phone, only a cell phone and her H said there was NO OTHER PHONE!

I'm not in denial here... An A is an A and WH has confessed to both.

That he knows about. Affair phones are kept SECRET. Most cheaters here had them!

So, let's say they both had affair phones.. highly unlikely!. Why would they need to text and call from their regular cell phones?

They still had an affair! It doesn't matter... We are beating a dead horse. There was an affair... it has already been admitted!

Well no, it has not been admitted to at all. According to her they are just platonic friends and according to your H, it was a one sided fantasy and they never had sex. And he flunked the polygraph.

Your H doesn't NEED an affair phone, though. He can call from work. Or just delete his calls and texts so you don't see them.

OK. You've decided 'an affair is an affair' and you don't care whether EA or PA (but he cares and he cares about keeping the secret for a reason)so what does that mean for your next step?

Does that mean you wont insist on RH and a polygraph?

What is your plan?

WH admitted it was an EA and after I explained the definition on EA to OW#1, she agreed that it could have been, but she never thought about it like that. She agreed she was wrong for meeting my H behind my back and that it wasn't right. I already wrote about this conversation.

Your H doesn't NEED an affair phone, though. He can call from work. Or just delete his calls and texts so you don't see them.

True... but, OW's H saw all the texts a minimal calls that lasted less than 10 minutes.

How does anybody know that it was or was not a PA? Nobody knows...We all do know it was an EA.

I have insisted on RA... I have already talked to him today about this.
