Do you have your exposure list together? Who is on that list?

When are you exposing?

He is not admitting to the affair. I now see in their contacts that he loves her... and that she makes him feel special... What can I do... Do I just give up. Not getting any where. Have not done the expose bomb yet... afraid of fallout...

You need to expose. That is your next step.

Who is on your exposure list? When will you be exposing?

not many people on the list. I don't know any of the people he works with now. He has changed shifts and is working with new officers. He only has his mother and she does not believe me when I tell her that he is having an affair.

I would move forward with exposure. You don't need the admission of a liar to know truth because you already know the truth. If you won't follow the advice you are given, my friend, there is nothing we can do for you. frown

lizet, now is the time or place to be timid or complacent. This is not going to get any better until you make a DECISION TO ACT. Courage is a CHOICE. Everyone is afraid, but the difference between people who make it and people who don't is the CHOICE to take action despite that fear.

Will you make a decision to ACT today? If not, there is nothing we can do to help you.

Sit down and do your exposure in one sitting.

Who is on your list?
How are you contacting them?
Have you read the exposure thread?

She is his drug right now and he is addicted to her. You need to do everything you can to break his addiction.

Where is he living right now?

Think carefully about how to collect an effective list of exposure targets. Does she have a facebook page? If so, you can expose to them. Is this a workplace affair? If so, prepare to expose there.

Go read the exposure thread and start making your list and planning your exposure. Can you do that?

Did you actually READ the exposure thread? It is not suggested you expose to coworkers. Please go read the thread and come back with a list and a plan, ok?
