I would like to thank all for the advice from my previouse posts. I am still unsure of everything though. I am currently working plan A, but my WW refuses to cut off contact with OM('s). Problem is, the sportsclub she works at is also a hang out for all of her former A's. I am working really hard at avoiding all the LB's, and I have convinced her to committ to the Radical Honesty, but does that just mean she's going to tell me when she's with the OM??
She says she just needs time to figure out what she wants, and to see how deep her feeling's for the current OM really are. I am working really hard at being patient, but am draining very fast. She has been somewhat honest about what EN's the OM is giveing her, but I don't know if I can compete. He is smoothtalking, romantic, and very "suave", not to mention a great singer. WHOO-HOO!! I am just an average man who happens to be in love with a great woman. She keeps giving mixed signals/emotions. One day she's enthusastic about working things out, then I call her the next day and she can't get me off the phone fast enough. I know this will take time to work out no matter what, but I don't know if I have the hart to compete with this OM. I have even been drug so low as to take the kids for the weekend so she can try and spend some time with the OM to try and figure out how she feels. I have kept my taker in check so far, but he is NOT HAPPY!! I don't want to start throwing out LB's, but this seems very unfair. Any words of wisdom out there?? I have said in my previouse posts, and I will say again: It is wonderful to know that though we feel completely alone, we are not.

Just another question I forgot to ask. Family and friends have doen a great deal to help me through this, however nobody knows of my WW's EA's. Should I tell them in the hopes they may be further help? I don't want anyone to have negative thoughts or remarks towards her if we can work it out.

I'm afraid I haven't read your other posts, but I do have a question. Is there a compelling reason for your W to continue working at that bar? Is there no other bar she'd be qualified to work at? Is there no other job? No matter how committed she might be to honesty and your marriage, I'd think that situation would be difficult for her. Not to mention how it is causing you stress.
