MONTEHALLL,

Pack her belonging and put it in the front porch, change you house lock and let her know ... you can't plan B with full contact.

Note:send a copy of Plan B letter to OM.

So don't keep up with the jones. Trade your car in for a cheaper model. Sell off some of your assets. Don't eat at fancy restaurants. Get your financial act together so you can implement Plan B. Being in limbo will not save your marriage.

This is a triage time ... salvage what you can not what you could have ...

In some States, the spouse who first files for separation or divorce get's to stay in the house until the divorce is finalized. If you move out, you may be forced by the court to continue to make payments on the house while she and the OM enjoy the house, but if she the roles become reversed, then her A will be a costly one for she would be forced to pay you her share of the mortgage payments. So talk to an attorney ASAP.

spoke with attorney told me not to move out as this would have impact on cs. ws claims went to her attorney 3 times but wants me to file for d. I found out om advised her to make me file so "it would not be so hard on her family" A bigger problem is I work for my fil in private co that he owns with other partners. ws claims she wants me out of this job. fil says not to worry i will always have job because he needs me and wants whats best for grandson. I would like to save this marriage but it seems that it is impossible.
ws best girl freind just got d she has been and always will be a drunk now ws spends alot of time with her. I know she is pushing ws to get d
last night I went for a 3 hour walk on the beach to think about my next move??

cs means child support? You couldn't get as much if you moved out?

I found out om advised her to make me file so "it would not be so hard on her family"
This is good. The om making demands/telling her what to do is not a good thing for their relationship.

Get the book, "Surviving An Affair" and read the links below.

I would also plan to think about your career somewhere else ... improve your skill ... just in case thing getting bad. You know WW will try to influence your FIL/MIL and blood is thicker than water. Be ready for the worst.

Get training or expand your career to be out of WW's family. It would be ackward if you are still working for FIL and you have to file.

When she would wake up ? ... keep waiting since there is no consequences to her actions ... FIL MIL SIL BIL all are not supporting her yet but they are not supporting you either. She knew everyone know but there is no consequence to her action. You knew yet you let it happens too. Inject reality to her A ... pack her belonging and kick her out ! until she is willing to work on M there is place for her at home. I am just gussing (no disrepect) that she is a dady girl (spoiled brat) that get hooked on OM.

Talk to your lawyer how to get her out from home, draft plan B letter, call Harley's for conseling. I always tell MBer to get conseling at least when they are banging their head to a thick wall and need evaluation to go to plan B.

JMHO -rh-

2x4 ... I think your are as much in the fog as she is. IMO you need a long walk and think it over what you want out of this. As might just as simple as putting her belonging in the front porch, changed the key & give her again the copy of your PBL ... some WS know deep down they make a mistake & have guilty feeling.

MonteHall -

RedHat is right on the money.

You CAN get her out of the house and you CAN afford to live there alone for a while. Don't think you can't. You've got support from both sides of the family. Use it!

Financially, emotionally, whatever. Your spouse will survive without living in the house. You can hope that she'll move in with the OM when you kick her out. (YES, you hope for that! It'll kill their relationship faster than anything else.)

But no matter what happens, there's no reason to believe that you "need" her.

Do your darndest to get her out of the house. The advice about putting her stuff in the yard and changing the locks on the doors is absolutely dead-on.

And if you can't kick her out, fine! Move out and get an apartment yourself. And take your son with you!!! Refuse to pay your part of the mortgage and work on creating a life for yourself. That's what PLAN B is about. You're in some weird state that's neither Plan A nor Plan B. Get into Plan B, dude! You need it, your son needs it, your family probably needs it.

Talk to MarriageBuilders or Penny Tupy over at saveyourmarriagecentral.com. Plan this out carefully, and get your lawyer involved. And GET AWAY FROM YOUR SPOUSE! You can't be living in the same place while you do Plan B. You just can't.

I just can't belive this. I practicly ran into om as he was coming out of a door way today. He had the BALLS to say hello to me and call me by name. I felt
my blood start to boil. Thankfully I ignored him and just kept on walking. I wonder how fast he called ws to tell her about this? Can you belive this guy? I did vist save your marriage centeral.com I'm waiting to talk to Penny Tupy Thanks for that tip.. She will be back home today so let the games begin. My lawyer is on vaction this week so i need to keep my cool.
