I went back and did a couple more and it shows that there is more info available for a small fee. I might try a couple.

This is probably a waste of time anyway. If she's in contact with the OM she won't be doing it with this phone cause she knows I can see all the phone numbers and text numbers. Although, there are quite a few numbers I don't recognize.

THATS the spirit! YOU are the man .. YOU got things to do. Her games are just that .. games. Do your best to remain calm ... and not feed into her BS. Stay the course. So far so good. Maintain your self respect. Be FIRM but Calm.

I believe you will turn this around! I am rooting for ya anyhow!

Thanks Guy. I hope I can turn it around, but sometimes it feels pretty hopeless.

I'm gonna stay the course and hope for the best!

She seems to still want to stay "connected" or "plugged into" me and what I'm doing but only when it suits her. Maybe that's positive.

Yup it is positive (at least i think so)... lets you know she probably has 2nd thoughts often, but her pride keeps getting in the way.

Keep reaffirming at the right times that YOU are the right choice. Use some dating tactics on her maybe. Kino ... cocky/funny ... etc. SHow your back bone and stand up for yourself .. dont allow ANY disrespect from her .. but show your fun side too when it suits the moment. (provided you get a chance). Keep her interested while you stay the course here and make it difficult for OM.

It is so easy to get around that. Can you sneak a GPS and a VAR in her car? Do you have an opportunity to do that?

I wish I could. She knows I bought a gps and has been VERY protective of her new car.

I'm kind of afraid of the VAR because my lawyer told me that was a felony to record her unless I was on the other end of the line. But no matter, I don't think I could get access to her car safely enough to put it in there nor retrieve it. I wish I could though.

You could mount the GPS in her bumper!? Unless she has her car in a garage at night where you cant get at it.

Brain,
I'm looking into the PI costs to see if I can do that.

NiceGuy,
Her sister's house is right next to her uncle and Grandma. They all live in a cluster. Her sister also has a dog that would bark. Believe me, I'm definitely not trying to find excuses NOT to do the gps. If I could do the gps it would probably answer a lot of questions.

Not to upset any pet lovers.......what about some benadryl in a little hamburger meat thrown over the fence? You can find dosages on the net.......wait an hour....then gps time?

How often can you do that? I'd have to go get the gps every few days to download the info and charge it. I dont want to get the dog hooked on Benadryl. He's a pretty cool dog.

The link says up to three times a day. Every couple days should be fine.

noooooo, get one that transmits her location and you don't have to retrieve.
