First I should let it be known that I will be divorcing. I am not going to try to save my marriage again. My wife has had, or is still having yet another affair, and I am leaving. I do not want to give too many details, as I am afraid my wife might read this, though it is unlikely. We have one child in elementary school. Wife is pregnant though the child is probably NOT mine. There is enough evidence to prove the affair in a court of law. I am heart broken, and I am not going to allow myself to go through this again. A few years ago my wife had a handful of affairs. She stopped, promised not to do it again, and I started my false recovery. Now several years later I am in this boat again. Also, my wife has taken my child to the OM house multiple times, so my child was in that house during the adultry, I have not exposed to anyone as of now. So my question is, should I expose even though I am ending the marriage?

The answer is YES. Everyone should know. How old is your child? My suggestion would be to get legal protection before you move out of the house. Many courts view this as abandonment. You are usually able to get better legal conditions while your wife is fogged out in an affair. Sorry this has happened to you.

Welcome to MB and sorry for your pain. Who is the OM? Is he married? Since your child is in elementary school, you should expose to them in an age appropriate manner. Read Exposing to Children

Hello, Thank you all for your replies and help. I would like to be very careful, because there is a slim chance my wife might read this. OM lives within walking distance of our house. I do not want to give mare details at this time because my wife might read this. Should I expose ASAP? Should I expose to all of her known friends? I am able to prove the affair enough for a jury to believe the affair indeed happened. (At least it is my opinion that a jury would believe it)

Should I expose ASAP? Should I expose to all of her known friends? ) Yes, I would expose. But I would expose to family members on both sides, your child [if over 4] and close friends. Is the OM married? The OM's family and friends should be informed, especially his wife. Please read the exposure thread linked in my signature. Your exposure message will be a little different because you don't want to save the marriage.

She knows I know. I have told her and demanded the truth, but I only get lies. I can give more details in a PM. Also, should I wait until I have more ducks in a row with my lawyer before I expose? I’ll be glad to go into more details in a PM OM is not married.

We live in the same neighborhood as OM. My wife is a malignant narcissist. She has Narcissistic Personality disorder. She has no conscience at all. She had several affairs several years ago, and when I found out we started a fake recovery. She has seen the pain it caused, and she still chose to do it again

And did you read the Exposure thread in my signature?

I have read the exposure thread. I do not have access to his FB page. I wish I could tell you guys more details. I am a little afraid to expose as of now, I am absolutely positive about the affair, but I still might not have enough proof. I would also like to file for divorce before I expose. I am having a couple issues with my lawyer too.

The OM has no kids that my child hangs around. I think he has a kid that does not live with him.

I am afraid to say too much here, but I have testimony from more than 2 people. (So she has admitted it to more than 2 people)
