Every needs to be told this. Think of the pressure on the affair when everyone knows about her leaving to get it on with, as Mel put it, Joe Scumbag.

I will not spend my life this way.

I agree. That's why I recommended adding that information to his exposure letter.

And that is just messed up but I get what you are saying. (And if you know my story, you know why I'm bristling). Perhaps the exposure letter can emphasize the fact that they are still legally and spiritually married or something.

I hear ya! I'm just thinking Intact would have a hard time convincing those people that their definition of adultery is wrong. It would be much easier for him to refute his wife's claim about when the affair began.

Horrors! A wayward who is vexed to be marked with the "slut" brand!

Good! The exposure has hit its mark!

Of course your wife is angry. She is majorly upset people know her cruel secret. They won't look at her the way she liked them looking at her.

That is not only okay but needed for her to move into her future.

Do not defend your actions as she spouts venom your way.

Expect her to spew venom your way.

As she does so.............breathe deeply and calm yourself.

Action vs reaction is the name of the game when you have been betrayed by a spouse.

Exposure is powerful not because you said something but because you said something about a sad truth.

Good job on exposure! Have you found out anything else about OM? Is he married? Have you exposed to his son?

Also you need to write your wife a letter. Mel can probably advise if you should plan A or plan B. I'm thinking plan A even though you are separated. The letter would contain your road map to recovering your marriage i.e. no contact with OM for life.

Mel, BH?

Good job. Thats the first step towards killing the affair.
Have you ordered the criminal background check of the OM and exposed to all of his family and friends?
