I remember in a heated talk when I asked my WH "Who are you?" His blue eyes turned jet black...jet black. Then suddenly his eyes turned back to blue and he said in the nicest voice "It's me." I was struck with sheer terror. I saw pure evil in those black eyes and I started to seriously wonder if I had married a psycho killer. It is true that waywards have been taken over by an alien...an evil alien.

After I found my WH secret e-mail account with continued contact with OW, my WH claimed that he did not lie to me because I had asked him if he had "called" OW...I didn't say anything about e-mailing. Therefore WH did not lie to me.
rotflmao I had to laugh or I would have ended up injuring him.

At any rate, as predicted on the MB boards, the therapist gave him some psychobabble about his relationship with his dad, his childhood, etc. A bunch of B.S. that solves nothing.

He is also buying time to continue to do nothing.

WhatisNext17. My FWH was still deep in the affair when he was acting like your WH is acting now.

My FWH did not change until he saw and believed that I was serious about not living like this anymore. I gave him a paper with my conditions to remain in the marriage. My conditions were spelled out clearly so that he could not twist things around anymore. I told him if he could live by these conditions then he needed to pack his bags and leave. He started to change when he realized that I was serious.

If you decide to go into Plan B, do it right. Take the time to do every step the recommended way. That is your best chance.

((hugs))

Because his AP is a coworker I told him he had to find a new job and he, in fact, did. That's right....he found a different job with the same employer about 20 feet away from his AP, instead of the six feet or so he is now. His explanation for that was that I told him to find a "different job" not a "different employer" and he can't be held accountable for me giving him "bad information."

Fogbabble hall of fame right there!
