Ok i am new and i have read saa. Last feb. my wife started being on the phone all the time and i had the hunch she was talking to om.

I tried to be calm about things and i asked to see her phone and she got really defensive. Then she started crying and telling me she wanted a break. I knew it was so she could be with the other man but i unwillingly agreed. Then later in the week we went to our club. I received a text from our dd that he was on the way so I was looking for my wife when i caught her making out with the other man.

I lost it i pulled her off of him and beat the crap out of the om. Then i got kicked out of the club and i was waiting outside for the ride and we got in the car to go home.
I was stupid and was yelling at her, I shouldn't of took her phone away from her and i admit it was a lame thing for me to do and was using her phone as hostage to get the truth from her.

And she came from the back seat and clawed me to get her phone back from me. so i pushed her back into the seat fearing she would hit the driver and cause a accident.
Then she got a phone from the drive and called the police on me. so long story short i went to jail for domestic violence and i have never had a ao like that before.

Well after i got out of jail i was doing some research and found this site. I have been reading posts and i ordered the book saa. I love my wife and I wanted to at least try and save our marriage with what ever tools i have. So now she is living at her parents house.

So she basicly told everyone on her face book account she is in a relationship with the lame om to this day. so her family knows about that and they disapprove her choice. I also exposed the om to his friends and family. Since then she has been afraid to talk to me on the phone or face to face. I know the guilt is getting to her just want to find more advice from you guys cause i hate waiting.

Welcome to MB and sorry for your pain.

Is this OM married?

You need to do a proper exposure. How did she's meet him?

Are you still at home?

Yes I have red them and om man has no girl friend. And I know for a fact they did meet at a modeling agency but I think the agency is bogus. Who works in modeling for a 6 month probation and for free even. And the evedance is in her face book page that she blocked me from. So I am screwed there.

Do you know this OM's name?

Can you make a fake Facebook?

My advice having been the victim of an A myself is to follow the MB plan by the book.

You lost it when discovering your wife's A, and I can understand...many of the same thoughts still run through my head toward the OM.

But understand that your wife and the OM together did this, neither acted alone and hurting or getting physical over the A in the end will not get your wife back.

You need to lay out a plan based on Dr. H, see how your wife responds and go from there.

If you follow the plan step by step, it will work and put you on the road to recovery, but depending how your wife reacts, you may find yourself going into what Dr. h calls plan B before you make any progress.

Listen to those on this site...it will be your main guide...

Exposing is step one and calmness in this battle is "key", there were reasons this happened although no excuses, but the last thing you need is to be a poor image in your wife's head...keep calm and give yourself permission to grieve, it's a painful experience...

I understand I know what I did was wrong by getting physical but that was the first time it has happened to me. Never been to jail and dont plan on going back. I wish I could take it back. Yes my first priority is breaking up this affair.

So tell us everyone you exposed to. What did you say in your exposure letter?

Does she finance all of this?

Good job on the Facebook exposure.

She is contacting him through phone and Facebook, correct?

Do you pay her phone bill or does she? Who pays for her going out to the clubs?

Have you had a talk with her parents and ask them to support your marriage and put pressure on her to stop the affair?

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 our friends and family, 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,
