Hi Mrs.NOP,

Your views are equally legitimate with others posted here. I am in fact intrigued by your comments. I will be very honest here and say this outloud: This is the first time I've ever seen a post where the LBS implements the exposure plan here on the DB BB. I am very curious if this will be successful in Choc's case and how this plays out in the field of potentiality.

I've read other BB's where exposure is strongly recommended and I've read threads where the LBS struggles to keep the marriage/family together after the exposure. Unfortunately for this BB, I do not see any success stories posted in a specific forum format like this DB is designed so I have no way of knowing of their success rate with the affair exposure method.

LFL:

I believe you might have misconstrued my earlier post about Mrs. Choc waffling and vacillating. Let me be clear...right now, Mrs. Choc is firmly in the OM's clutches and there is no waffling between OM and Choc at this point. However, down the road...when things start to shift...is when Mrs. Choc will begin to vacillating between the OM and Choc. That is a key point in the fork in which, most often, the WAS will go through the painstaking process of cutting ties with the OM and eventually returning to the LBS. From my friends over in Piecing, the most common thread is that these WASes have found the LBS as the stronger and better option than the OP. It just takes time for the perceptions to shift in the LBS's direction---the dopamine fix will eventually wear off and the WAS will see the OP's true colors.

When I hear the words here on DB or in real life, "I need space"--that is code word for "I want to fcuk the OP and run away with the OP!" Choc...be on the alert for these dead weight words.
