hi all<P>Now that I have found who my W has been seeing should I tell her I know?<P>Would it help to bring all the lies to the surface that I know she is having the A?<BR>Would it help to let the A take its own course without my interferring? As this time it is with another co-worker(her boss).<P>I presume that she will be very angry that I know.<P>I am feeling a lot stronger these past few days since I know what is going on.<P>My birthday is coming up in a week and I have organised to go on a tandum ski dive. This is totally out of character for me as I am very respectful of heights. We will be jumping out of a perfectly good plane at 12,000 feet. This is going to be symbolic gesture when I jump from the plane for me as I intend to get rid of the baggage I have been carring around for the past six months.<P>Wish me luck. It has certainly changed my priorities as I am thinking more of my decision to do the jump. If I can do this I can achieve anything.<P>bye for now <P>Tim

An affair is based on secrecy. Once the secret is out the affair it stops being a fantasy. That is why you need to confront her with the evidence you have. She will be the one who have to deal with anger and shame of being discovered. She will be forced to look at herself in the mirror. Do not be afraid to confront her. The chances are that she will beg for your forgiveness. If she does not and wants a divorce then you are better off without her.

Hey, timtam,<BR>Have been in and out and haven't been posting much - haven't heard from you in awhile...<BR>I am glad that you finally know - I think knowing helps - better than wondering, don't you think? I agree that you should let your wife know what you know - takes away the fantasy and the "fun" and "excitement" of sneaking around!!! I didn't confront my H when I first found out - instead, I did of lot of investigating and evidence gathering - found out a lot of info, and had evidence in case I needed it. Because he did not admit to it for awhile...but eventually had to when I had so much information. Good luck - try to Plan A when you are doing it.<BR>I'll be thinking of you...<BR>A
