Ok...the weepy Theo is taking a break and the forceful Theo is coming back.
Brace yourself. Here come the lists.
1. NO f*cking way is she taking the kids on a vacation with him. Why don't you suggest going with her to HOt Spings? Dude, there are many ways to stop this from happening. You can insist on going. You can ask her if she's meeting HIM there. Does she know that you are aware of OM? If you need to reveal your snooping, so be it. You can get a court order if need be. THE KIDS ARE NOT GOING ON A VACATION WITH YOUR WIFE AND HER LOVER. Did I say that loud enough?
2. If he's in the military, he can get fired is he's involved in adultery. The military has strict rules. DO you realize how much power you have in this situation?
3. Now step back. Breathe. You don't need to launch you missles yet.
4. When it comes to their relationship, you can't really change things. But when it comes to your kids, you need to set boundaries. The OM in my situation is afraid that I might get violent if he comes near my kids. I may be out of shape, but I'm supernaturally stong and quick for my size.
Oh by the way I love you dude. All DB men have a place in my large and expansive heart. Yes, contrary to what my wife says, I have a big heart. The kind of heart that would make any decent woman feel safe in.
And you know what, Lester? YOU have a huge heart. You are trying to save you marriage.
