AGREE!! Maybe even an "I frankly was amazed by how many people came out of the woodwork, some of whom I didn't even know. There are a lot of people concerned about you, you know."

You can also let slip a "he" when your source is really a "she," or a "I heard" when you really SAW, etc. -- to throw them off track. I hinted that my intel was visual, to throw my wife off track to the voice-recorder.

More than half of divorce busting is just intimidation and courage.. It really is a poker game... You don't need leverage, you just need the confidence to intimidate your WS into backing down... Not based on what you DO know, but what they THINK you KNOW and what they THINK you MIGHT do...

As long as you have the balls to make some early hard hitting choices so they see you mean business the rest is a lot easier.. if you keep backing down and choking early on... the game is theirs...

Yep. It's not "force" -- it's "the credible threat of force" that wins battles ... and wars. smirk

You can even FAKE intel iwth him there... have a friend call you when he's there.. pick up the phone... say :

"REALY... He told me something VERY DIFFERENT... "

and scowl at your WS

"Ya, we know all about it, and so do they... This isnt' gonig to fly don't worry..."

Smile and hang up... and then laugh at him and walk away...

THAT is a divorce-buster bluff

I had to bluff a few times during the affair in my home.

one time I confronted and said

"I know you are in contact with him you know... I'm not stupid... "

SHe was shocked and confused and just said

"FINE... I called him.. SO WHAT?!?"

I had NO IDEA there was a call made... it was ALL BLUFF on my end... but SHE didn't know that...

YOu have to realize Mel this is mostly intimidation... INTEL HELPS but you have to be foreful too.. If you don't USE the INTEL to go on teh offensive he's just going to push the affair further along...

This is easier for men to undertsand because they play poker.. women don't play poker nearly as much and as a result they struggle with this strategy

You guys are great . . . thank you so much for the help. H must have just found the notes on the cars, as he just texted me "Not sure if you can take care of dd. Should I be worried? You need help. Do you need me to pay for a doctor?"

I think my response is a no response until it becomes impearative that I let him know he won't be taking dd overnight to their house tonight . . .

Because then he has to worry about what else I know/saw.

The less he KNOWS the more he's going to PANIC...

Just think of the affair in reverse... YOU are now doing things HE doens't know about...

Would YOU tell HIM?

Many here want to give up all their info, their sources, and throw it at their WS.. tha'ts a BAD MOVE...

THe less he KNOWS the more his imagination is going to cause him to worry...
