Do I expose as I get certain areas ready? Or wait and do it all at once, but still within the day? I could send the workplace now, but don't have the FB stuff ready, and still trying to finalize POSOM's contact attack.

My understanding is to do it all at once. Yes? NO?

I would do it all at once.**




** "Do it all at once" means that I'm thinking you'll do this in the evening or morning after looking up crap on the internet.

But, to keep up your momentum with WW, go ahead and send it. Follow up with the rest of your targets tonight.

Please listen to northwood, he is giving you great advice! And be sure and shoot out a mass email to her mother and family members using the letter I gave you.

Keep up the good work!

This has been going on since the beginning of August 2012, both on and off site. Aside from the potential sexual harassment claims this situation presents, it also involves the inappropriate use of company resources and assets. WW and POSOM are using company time and company resources to further their affair. If you check the call histories on their office and cell phones along with their workstation computers, you will find the two of them are spending an inordinate amount of what should be productive work time to further their relationship.

If you have any questions, please call me at xxxx. Otherwise, I will anticipate a response from you once you have investigated these concerns and taken appropriate corrective action.

Regards,

2L2L

Few changes, basically used as is. Good?

Doing otherwise gives them a heads up that something is coming and allows them to formulate a defense:

"Hey, Earl, there's this nutjob that thinks I'm fooling around with his wife. Ain't that a laugh! Anyways, he's liable to say just about anything so just ignore it."

NW, here is the problem with him. He is a conflict avoider and if he can't find info on one person, he will put off the entire exposure. That is why I think it would be better for him to roll with what he has. Otherwise we wil be sitting herein the same position atChristmas.

He will tell us in 6 months that he couldn't expose because he is still trying to find contact info on grampa festus in crapwit, Utah and northwood told him to wait until he could expose all at once.

This dude needs to expose NOW, on the heels of his first confrontation.

Well, I was thinking that he meant tomorrow but if "tomorrow never comes" then I'd agree that he should go with it.

I don't think I have the patience to follow another circular thread. smile

Whoa now! Y'all leave me and Grandpaw Festus out of it!

I'm going to go edit my response, add an asterisk or two and hide the evidence!

I'm not avoiding any conflict. I only have to picture one thing in my mind, quite unpleasant, and it's more than enough to kill any hesitation. Not avoiding conflict, just going by the book with the "all at once" approach. I don't want this S* going on any longer than it needs to. Time is of the essence. Still, it does take time.

2l, you are doing great! Run with what you have. You have enough now to inflict some serious damage. And be sure and send out a family email TODAY,describing her affair and asking them allot talk to her.

quick ?,

There's a few coworkers of hers (cubicle neighbors) she's been talking to about the demise of our relationship. Some of their "assistance" was re-assuring WW that our daughter would be fine in case of D, because she is so young. This makes me furious. These people have met me, and they are nice, good people, just think they are giving advice based on biased info. Don't know the extent of what exactly she has told them, but I'm sure it was biased in her favor. I doubt she told them there was OM involved. ? is, do I tailor the personal letter to include something along the lines of "I know you have heard WW's side of the story, but here is what is really going on..."

Basically, do I need to shed an accurate light on things or just let the standard letter do it's thing?

That might be a good idea. See,now you are really thinking!!! And ask the coworkers to use their influence to persuade her to end her affair. You might get a snotty response from them so just be prepared, ok?

Definitely target any co-workers that you can identify. Just send them the friends/family letter that ML posted on page 8 of this thread...


Dear friends and family,

I am writing you this message because you are an important person in the life of xxxx. As some of you know, xxxxx has recently asked me for a separation, which has shattered my heart. To my shock, I am saddened to have discovered that the reason is because she has been carrying on an affair with a old boyfriend named xxxxx xxxxx who resides in xxxxxx. He is also married and has young children . The purpose of the separation is so that she can carry on her affair without my interference.

She refuses to end the affair. I want our marriage to recover from this affair. If you have any influence on my babe, please do what you can to get her to stop this dangerous affair. I want to stay married, but the affair must end.

As as a friend of ___, I am asking that you use your influence with xxxx to persuade her to end her affair and try to work on our marriage. Our marriage can be salvaged if she would only end the affair. Please support her in doing the right thing. Please support our marriage.

I would so appreciate your support and prayers.

Warmest regards,

Ok, so here's exp. letter to WW's contacts:


Dear friends and family,

I am writing you this message because you are an important person in the lives of WW and I. As some of you may know, WW has recently asked me for a divorce, which has shattered my heart. To my shock, I am saddened to have discovered that the reason is because she has been carrying on an affair with a coworker named POSOM who resides in xx. The purpose of the separation is so that she can carry on her affair without my interference. I would be happy to provide evidence to anyone who asks.

She refuses to end the affair. We have been together for 12 years and have a beautiful 4 year old daughter who could be deeply affected by this tragedy. I want our marriage to recover from this affair. If you have any influence on WW, please do what you can to get her to stop this dangerous affair. I want to stay married, I want to keep our family together, but the affair must end.

As our friends and family, I am asking that you use your influence with WW to persuade her to end her affair and try to work on our marriage. Our marriage can be salvaged if she would only end the affair. Please support her in doing the right thing. Please support our marriage.

I would so appreciate your support and prayers.

I've only been able to get contact info on POSOM for one person, his Mom, which is the best one to have, but is one going to be enough? I'm assuming he will hear from the HR and/or his supervisor, but can't say for sure.

Searching for contact info just on OM just keeps going in circles. His assumed sisters ph number is the same as the mother. There are 12 addresses, but not sure how to figure out current one.
