For now, Fixer. The OM can be her friend for now. While other factors can play into how well or how badly their relationship can go, usually affairs fail. The important thing is to avoid giving them any reason to be closer, that is to provide something that can be supportive of each other and have a common "threat".

I can read how much you are hurting and it hurts me to see someone else go through this kind of pain. But as kindred spirits, I want to say to stand firm, be loving anyway and kind to her even when you don't want to. I am not saying to be a doormat. No one respects a door mat but make sure you don't move to the opposite side entirely. Do not be harsh. After all, you do love her, right?
