I don't think you are understanding how this is supposed to work. You want exposure to have a tsunami effect! The opposite of trickle, drop, drop, drop, over several days effect as you are doing now...

I didn't tell My wife anything yet. I did that to buy me time.

Don't talk to her anymore until the exposure is all wrapped up. The only one that I exclude from that list is if OM's parents if it takes you some more time to find them.

Most certainly.

What does this mean? What is the likelihood of future contact?

Yes, shame can have very funny effects on people. You want to be running this show.



What would you do if you were not afraid?

In your exposures to his facebook contacts, I would ask the target to contact his parents and have them call you.

you will have to pay $1 for the messages to be placed in their inboxrs. Hopefully you know this!!

And Susie is right, exposure is supposed to be done in one day, not trickled out.

I know it should of been done in one day, I didn't expect someone to tell her prior to my plan of exposing it. I needed more time to get intel. I don't see anything about his parents in intelius etc... I do have his kids FB etc and friends..

Just go ahead and epxose to his family and friends. In your letter, ask them to have his parents call you and provide your #.

So get everything done asap.

WD,

Try www.veromi.com I have good luck it will offer probable family connections for free.

You can then use those probable connections to search facebook, linkedin, and etc.

People CAN BE FOUND! I found good photos online of OM2 after a few years, by knowing his hobby. Get creative with your searching.

God Bless

Finish your exposures and then go home and tell your children. [don't ask your wife or forewarn her, just sit the kids down and tell them all about the affair and give them the name of the OM]

Have you spoken to your MIL? Will she call her too? Any other exposure targets within her family?

How many FB messages did you send out to the OM contacts? And did you pay the $1 to get it placed into their in box?

This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.

But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God." ( John 3:19-21)

Carry on. Don't respond to silliness.

She will continue to act like an aggressive drunk until the A is dead. Even then she has to get through withdrawal.

This is her way of seeing if being mean and abusive will get you to back off so she can resume destroying herself.

Of course you love her too much to allow that.

Do as MelodyLane suggests showing that you are now running this show and the abuse isn't working.

Be calm and polite if your paths cross later. Be loving if possible. However don't feel you have to stick around and take abuse. If she swears at you casually inform her not to do that in future please and take yourself off to do something else.



What would you do if you were not afraid?

"I am sorry your A embarrasses you"

"Would you like a cookie?"

"I am very serious about saving our marriage"

"I will not let an A destroy my marriage"

"You can never trust me to keep infidelity a secret. I would never encourage infidelity."

"I am very pleased so many people offer us their support"
