Dear BH: It is with deep regret that I must inform you that your wife had an emotional affair with my husband from approximately April 2011 to February 21, 2012. Starting August 2011, your wife was my husband�s mentor for XXXXXXXXXXX. I obtained phone records of hundreds of texts exchanged between your wife and my husband. I obtained the content of most of the November and December 2011 texts and saw that the texts were not within the scope of XXXXXX due to the flirting and joking. The two of them crossed a line that should have stayed strictly business as his mentor. I feel it is my duty to report these interactions to you as her husband. In February, I asked that my husband send your wife an email changing their means of communication from text messages to business phone or email only. After this, she left the XXXXX program. Your wife sent my husband another text today, violating our request for no texting contact. Neither my husband nor myself will tolerate contact of any sort from your wife. Please contact me if you have any questions. Thank you, TinT PS.

Just use this and change from friend to family. FB exposure letters to OP's contacts
Should be done to the OP�s facebook friends via private message. This is a very, very effective exposure because it is a collection of the OP�s closest friends and family. SPACE THE PM�S OUT 60 SECONDS APART SO FB DOES NOT SHUT YOU DOWN FOR FLOODING. Before you begin, copy and paste all the contacts into a WORD doc. Change your fb picture to a picture of you and your spouse and children.
Dear friend of Skankyhola,
It grieves me to write this letter but I believe all of her friends should be aware that OW is having an affair with my husband, Joe. We have been married for 5 years. 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. You should also watch your own husbands around her because she is no friend to marriage.
I would appreciate it if someone would notify her parents and ask them to call me at xxx-www-xxxx. Thank you, BW

Also this. Parents of affair partner. Giveyour full name and explain why you are calling. Ask them to use their influence with their son/daughter to persuade them to leave your spouse alone. It might also help if the PARENT of the WS calls them too. Also after your WH writes the no contact he needs to change his phone and all contact information.

I am so scared of what this is going to stir up in my husband's company. Of how her husband will react. That they are going to say that I took it all out of context. That the joking and flirting and texts were all work related. I'm just scared as heck right now.

Here is what I came up with for the mother of the OW to expose EA to her via facebook message. OW does not have a facebook page, but her mom and husband do. I need feedback before I drop the bomb on this skanky-ho.
Dear mother of OW,
Your daughter was conducting an emotional affair with my husband from April 2011 to February 2012. She was his mentor at XXXXXX and she used her position to begin an inappropriate texting relationship with him. She may say it was just mentoring or a friendship, but it definitely crossed a line into what would be considered an emotional affair when she texted him late evenings, weekends, on holidays and early in the morning. She got him to confide in her and she confided in him with her own personal problems, none of which was business related. I was able to send proof of some of what they were saying to each other in November and December to my own email.
My husband asked that she never text him again on February 21, 2012. Soon afterward, she left the mentoring program and he never heard from her again, until today. She texted him again today. I am asking that you use your influence with your daugther to persuade her to leave my husband alone. My husband and I have been married 17 years, we have 3 children, I love him very much, and I will not tolerate further contact from your daughter to my husband.
Thank you, TinT

TinT, why is she able to text your H? Why have you not changed his cell phone number? You need to cut off all means of contact. Has this not happened? I would trim down your letter and cut straight to the chase: Dear mother of OW,
Your daughter was conducting an emotional affair with my husband from April 2011 to February 2012. It created great hurt and disruption in our marriage. In February their contact ended, and we hoped to rebuild our marriage. There was no contact from her at that point, and we began to heal our marriage .
She has recently attempted to contact him again, which is a threat to our marriage that we obviously do not wish to have in our life. She was his mentor at XXXXXX and she used her position to begin an inappropriate texting relationship with him. She may say it was just mentoring or a friendship, but it definitely crossed a line into what would be considered an emotional affair when she texted him late evenings, weekends, on holidays and early in the morning. She got him to confide in her and she confided in him with her own personal problems, none of which was business related. I was able to send proof of some of what they were saying to each other in November and December to my own email.My husband asked that she never text him again on February 21, 2012. Soon afterward, she left the mentoring program and he never heard from her again, until today. She texted him again today. I am asking that you use your influence with your daugther to persuade her to leave my husband alone. My husband and I have been married 17 years, we have 3 children, I love him very much, and I will not tolerate further contact from your daughter to my husband. I ask your help to support my marriage by encouraging her your daughter to stop interfering in my our marriage.
If you would like proof of the affair I can supply that to you. You can reach me at XXX-XXX-XXXX if you have questions I can answer. Thank you for helping me save my marriage.
Thank you, TinT

I love the vets! Can any of you vets come over to my post and give me the courage to expose to the BH of OW tonight? Please?? TinT, I'm not a vet as you requested, but gonna put my 2 cents worth in anyway. I know the fear of calling the OW's BH is daunting, but why? What have YOU done wrong? What has HE done wrong? Hmmm, me thinks nothing. BUT, by not not letting him know what is going on in his life makes you at the very least culpable in his pain that he has yet to experience. Guess why? By not telling this poor betrayed soul what his wife is doing puts you in the same category as your WH and his OW. By not telling him, you are complicit in the deception that is going on right underneath his nose. Is this a burden you are truly willing to shoulder? You must relieve yourself of this burden. It's not your's to carry. Just like you, he deserves the truth about his life and to whom he's married.

To get to him I had to call his MOTHER and ask her to have her son get in touch with me. She was so kind and gentle and southern....she said, 'is this about his wife?' I said, 'yes, ma'am.' He called me back within 10 minutes. It was then he learned the reason why his young wife had left him. Because she was having an affair with my husband. He deserved the truth about his life.

Thank you all so much for the support. I'm scared as heck! I edited my letter to her mom and am sending the other letter to her BH. I am going to a walk with my H. He says after seeing me hurt even more, he will support me in exposure to that man. I am so stressed right now my carotid arteries are burning. So odd. I will expose before midnight tonight. Please pray for me. I'm terrified.

I am so stressed angry right now my carotid arteries are burning. Stop the fear. OW should fear YOU, not the other way around. You should be FURIOUS at her damage to your marriage! But stay calm and try not to want to kill the OW (they have laws about murder  ) Talk to the man.

I just hit send on the exposure letter via facebook to the OW's BH. Thought I'd feel relieved...maybe that comes later.

I just exposed EA to OW's mother the above letter with edits (thank you) via Facebook message. I'm worried about the fallout.
I think I am feeling empowered and want to email OW too. Does Harley recommend this?
Also, I have emailed Steve several times over the past few days and he never responds. Has anyone who pays the big bucks for his counseling ever get email support in a crisis situation. I am extremely disappointed that he was not able to help me.
Thanks for everything, TinT

Hi TinT, well done on exposing the OW!!!
I just wanted to chime in and allay you of some of your worries. I am a BW who had to beg and plead for someone to tell me of my WH's A after his continued denials. Even when a friend exposed him, they refused to tell me any details or who OW was. It took months of my snooping and pain, but to no avail. Then, after NINE months of trying to heal without the facts, I got confirmation of who OW was. Only then, once I knew who the assailant on my marriage and life was, did I really start to move forward and heal.
You have done the right thing by exposing. Ensure you get this OW's BH's contact number / email so you can contact him direct. To ensure that he knows.
As for the Harley's not responding, I have heard that some email addy's struggle to get through. Try contacting the mods here and they often help pass the message through. I have emailed the Harley's and always had a prompt response, so it may be your addy on a spam filter.
Me (BW): 35 Married 1999 with no kids, DDay July 2011, OC born September 2012, Divorce final November 2012.
WXH (Gollum) is corrupted by his A, and now forever bound to it. Plan B has set me free.
