Hi Beatup, the "text speak" can be a little hard to read, I understand it might take a while if you are on a phone or something but if you can write a little clearer it would help.
Did you re-marry? It sounds like you did not re-marry. Did she re-marry after you divorced? You said her youngest was not your child so it sounds like she has gone back to her "ex" that she was with after you divorced?
Sounds like a woman who flip flops between past lovers. If she refuses to re-commit to your marriage then as HDW says, Plan B.

You need to prepare a plan b letter. You can copy the one from SAA and modify it slightly.
Are you married to her now?
Also plan B is to protect yourself from your wayward wife.
The daughter is probably confused about all of this.

should i stay in plan a longer or just go to plan b ? it seems like the more time we spend together the more she opens up. she apologized for hurting me but hasnt admitted to either the 1st or current crap shes done or doing.

If you aren't (re)married then I'd count yourself fortunate and cut ties with this person.

The relationship between your son and his mother is between them. I'd just listen to what he says but not intervene there.
Following his lead regarding 'no contact' may not be a bad thing, either.

another day more babble. yesterday we had lunch and i feel like i wasted my breathe asking if she is with om? maybe its her soft spot to land while she figures out what to do next. well her big talk is wed night with our son and he wont tip toe around so she is gonna get some hard questions from him. i feel like i,m trying to get a deer to eat from my hand so no lb,s. i can see it in her face she has a wall between us and today she asked for a break. plan b is getting close.

I would go into Plan B--your kids are grown, and it sounds like one of them is already doing no-contact with your WW.
And since you two aren't married, you're in a Renter or Freeloader situation. Nothing good ever comes from that.

If you aren't (re)married then I'd count yourself fortunate and cut ties with this person. Agreed. Every SECOND you spend with someone like that is a second less you could have spent with someone else who is actually worth the attention. We are all given a fixed amount of time in our lives - spend it wisely or end up living with a lot of regrets over what you "could have done". Plan B for YOU, not that wayward woman.

Cheating on your boyfriend, I guess? Does the phrase "Cheating on your ex-husband" make any sense? It might be useful for her own self-discovery to read SAA.

NOO ... you can NOT educate a wayward .. it will only help her justify her affair .. If she reads it at this point she will only see what YOU have NOT done to fulfill her emotional needs and will not see her own contribution the affair.
BTW .. LEAD your heart .. DONT follow it. It can very easily lie to you. Feelings change .. Facts do not. Stick with a plan.

Also ... dating is like an interview for marriage ... she is failing bad. I wouldnt hire her to the position you are seeking her be in.
