Not to mention it still seems like she could care less. Are you serious about the antidepressants? Never been on anything like that.

You should also get in touch with his wife and keep open communication with her.


Could you please respond? Thanks, ML

You can make a fake account and view it like that or get a little more devious and make a fake account pretending to be a sexy single woman and send him a friend request. I did the latter and it worked lol.

He was still living with her when the communication between them started. As far as family on our side I believe I have told everyone. All of her close friends already knew about it and were supporting her in it "As long as your happy I am happy for you" that kind of crap.

You need to contact the INSPECTOR GENERAL FOR YOUR REGION!

Report this scum bag. Are you in the military as well?

He is serious about the antidepressants. Priming the pump is a very difficult thing on you emotionally. The antidepressants will help even out your emotions so that you can do what you need to do with a level head, helping you remain calm and to avoid the Lovebusters.

Hmm So what do I do just go to the doctor (I never go) and ask him to prescribe me some antidepressants? I'm not much on taking meds. Guess I really need to get to reading the Lovebusters book.

Are there any templates on how to tell OM wife? I'm really not sure what to say to her. I seriously doubt that it will even matter considering they are separated and going the route of divorce from what I have been told.

Yes, go to your doctor and tell him what's going on. Tell him you want antidepressants to help you make level headed decisions.

Dr. Harley often recommends Welbutrin because it hardly has any side affects.

Ok so from the replies that I have gotten on here I believe I should stick out in Plan A for a while longer. My biggest question is how in the world am I supposed to continue on with that when she is still living at her mothers. It absolutely infuriates me that she is putting our children through this and don't know how to convince her to work on the marriage let alone move home. It's all very frustrating to say the least. I can handle the pain that she is/has put me through (never wanted to still don't) but when my children ask on a daily basis when mommy is coming home and all the whys and I wish mommy was here, It kills me to see them like this.

Absolutely serious! Your regular doctor can prescribe them. Just tell him you need some help evening out the emotional high and lows so you can focus on doing what you need to do to save your marriage.

All that emotion is why you need the ADs - once your head clears up, the plan will be easier to see.

Ok I will make an appointment and give it a shot. Do most WW act like this? I have read conflicting things about it. She still does stuff that pushes my buttons on an almost daily basis. Kind of seems like I am just rolling over and taking it. This is all coming from a guy who does not do well with "emotions". How long does this limbo normally last because I am not sure how much more of it I can take?

Yes, you tell her all about the affair and ask her about the status of her marriage. If they truly are "separated," this information will be extremely beneficial to her.

Ask her for all the contact information of the OM so you can expose to his family.

If you read on the forum, oyu will see that waywards play a very interesting trick called "separation." They move into the guest room and pronounce themselves "separated." BUT... "separated" means MARRIED, so adultery is very relevant.

Be sure that her mother knows the affair is still alive and well.

Well it is absolutely ridiculous and makes no sense to me but I guess it is the norm. I have thought I was done with her multiple times now and after a short period of time (few hours to a day) I think about the outcomes of either way and I cant do that to my kids so I continue to try. Hence the name "feel_crazy".

I would focus on getting your emotions under control, but more importantly in busting up this affair. That should not be too hard to do since her parents are not going to tolerate it. Can you hire a PI to tail her for a day?
