Also, when you talk to Dr. H ask him that very question. Found an excellent thread by Pepperband This is the Plan A question.......Who the Heck Are you?

Quick question during plan a how would I put lb tokens from a distance even if we are not living together and also if she is with the posom at the time would it make a differance? You really can't make any if she wont let you. Over time you may he able to win her back. That is because she is in love with a man who agrees with everything she says. However when she lives with him conflict will be inevitable. Only 5% of affairs survive 2 years past exposure so you may be able to leave a positive impression in her mind. When her affair dies, you may be viewed as a logical choice because you are the father of her children.

We have no kids together even though I treat her daughter as my own after her dad abused her. I do love her as my own and I try my best to teach her from my mistakes with guidence.

Then if you maintain that relationship with the daughter you may be able to win her back
Do you listen to the radio show daily?
There is a lot of information there,

Yes there are no guarantees.
But the vast majority of affairs die a natural death, most within 6 months of exposure and 95% within 2 years.
During this time, as you are in plan A she will start to compare and contrast between you and her lover.
She and the lover will have conflict, it is inevitable. The conflict will crush the fantasy world they live in.
During this time it's important you commit NO love busters; no angry outbursts or disrespectful judgements.
Be nice and polite and try to meet whatever emotional needs she will allow you to; spending time with her daughter may be a way to meet that emotional need for family support.
Have you read Surviving an Affair? If not read it.

Don't talk about any legal stuff with her either.
Just refer everything back to an attorney.
Divorce talk does not help plan A

Send a letter every so often. Call if she lets you. Be charming when you get to talk, for any reason. It probably won't make any direct immediate difference, but it's mandatory so that when the affair finally implodes she will see returning to you as a good option.

Thats a good point. The only thing is she never gave me her phone number wuth her new plan. And she tries to get her daughter to relay messages and thats annoying.

I have to wait it out and fix my anger issues and make sure that my mother is not a problem cause she likes to intervine. And show my wife that will be the last time my temper will get the better of me. Watch myself being disrespectful.

Just one step at a time. First the anger classes then move out of the house so my mother cant get into my business. Since we moved at my parents to save for a house. So the house can wait. And yeah just show her I am changing.

Just talking to her. Invite her back to live with me after I have moved and not expect anything. Dont actions speak louder then words? So I think now is a good time to start acting.
