Someone's gotta stand up to this. ME!!! smile

Rainy you can stand tall and proud my friend well done! You've just taken back some control in your life. Didn't it feel good exposing Rodent to her family and friends.
You deserve a special treat today, pamper yourself.

Try not to worry about Pinoke & Rodent they will be angry. Ignore any hurtful responses its just wayward foggy babble. If Pinoke turns up call the police, rely on your PO for protection.

You rock Rainy!!!

I ignored any that threatened legal action if I contacted again (two of those). Those two also spouted a lot of wayward babble. At the time they shook me, but now I see that they got my message through. No way would someone who spouted what they did not have contacted skanky and told her what I had done... stood up and fought for my marriage thats what!

All others I responded to. Even those that hummed and haahed about two wrongs don't make a right or even worse "its not fair on skank that I contacted her friends and family". I got responses to all that I replied to. Wishing me well or good luck. Don't think they could see skank in the same light.

For me the response does not matter now (although I admit I was on tenterhooks for quite some time afterwards). What mattered is that I had stood up and fought for what is right by telling the truth.

As you have done.

Be proud.

125 still rocks my friend.


Indeed. I only did about 50 people. Because I knew OW I hit the exact right targets and I knew who would gossip to others. I broke their world! They were furious!

As for responses I got some negative ones call me on the phone, and I just said it was my right to tell people about my life. I wasnt going to help adulterers lie about me and the reasons for a separation.

If OW doesnt want me to tell the truth about MY life, then she shouldnt be in it.

But these were people I knew. If dealing with strangers, BHurts's cheery tone is just right. Or ignore them.

I got a few neutral response from OWs friends who didnt know what to believe. I just said I'd be happy to share the proof and they went away. Probably to protect their own marriages from her smile

I also know for a FACT (even though I have heard nothing at all) that the gossip will have unearthed other stuff about OW. She has separate groups of friends who she doesnt like to mix with ohter because she tells them all separate stuff. Once the whole town was talking about her, I am SURE some of her general everyday lies to other friends were unravelled by the attention.



What would you do if you were not afraid?

Sometimes you don't receive any responses - I haven't had any responses except from Isildur and PEGI. sigh Hopefully things are happening behind the scenes that Iam not aware of. At least one of PEGI's friends read their message to let her know of exposure.

I don't know whether FB new system of putting messages into "other" makes any difference with people reading their messages.

Thanks, everyone. Appreciate the support. Hope you all have a lovely day. I will pray for you, and please pray for me. I do want a dark Plan B. Just peace from pinoke and rodent, for me and my kids, so we can get on with life.

Will do. pray

You changed all your contact info, correct? So they have no way of getting a hold of you? I forgot to ask you was her BH one of your FB messages? I know you've talked to him many times, but sending him another message that you were blowing up her world would be good.

No, I didn't change all my contact info. I thought you guys told me not to? What should I change?

Her BH is not on fb. I tried to target anyone with his last name, or who I thought might work with him. Maybe if he knows the world knows, he will quit trying to keep up the image.

I've heard nothing at all from anyone. Should I be worried? Not even WH or OW. I have the PO, but I'm surprised he would honor it with exposure.

In Plan B you should change your contact information because he needs to use your I'M
. If he has some way to contact you then that's a hole in Plan B.

Sit back and don't worry. Keep the protection of the Plan B cape over you and out of their drama.

Well done rainy for all the exposure work. Carry on making progress and you will hopefully recover from thus traumatic time.

Was misled into thinking we were in recovery for 6 years.

If you were shocked reading any of this, that this is the consequence of not following MB to the LETTER.

They can call you from a different number and it will get through. If you change your number then they can't.

A rodent finds small cracks and get in the house.
