My WS is still in the FOG stage, D-day was 2 months ago. Since he isn't willing to break contact with OW, I did ask him to leave. He has been on his own for 3 weeks now and nothing seems to change. We have 3 D's, 19, 17 and 11. I do let him take them for dinner once a week (although I do need to force the older 2 to go) and he does have the youngest 1 night on the weekend. The problem is our D's are very active and have a lot of activities so I'm forced to see him several times a week. I just need advice on how to handle these "meetings". We still attend them separately but always end up sitting close because of our mutual friends. Again, WS acts like nothing is wrong when among friends. He also calls me several times a week to discuss their upcoming activities. I usually try to discuss only the activities but feel like I should be letting him know I still care about him. But again, he is not at all willing to give up this other relationship. Any advice-do I continue to keep the conversation strictly about the kids, do I tell him not to contact me at all, do I sit somewhere else at these activities?
I haven't written a Plan B-I have just discussed that he is not welcome to come home until he's ready for NC w/OW and willing to go to counseling.

Plan A comes before Plan B. According to MB principles, he does not have to leave because there is continued contact. Read up on PLAN A!!! Edit the topic of your post by clicking on the Paper and Pencil Icon to read something like URGENT and you will get lots of help from MB veterans.
