First T2L, thinking more about exposure, might need your support in making a phone call or 2. Will fill you in with more details later. I got yet another idea!
Faith, your H is in full MLC babble. That is why he says one thing and then calls you back with something else. H is confused and in lalalalala land. Interesting to note that OW is an Atty. And what type of personality do they have -- confidence and assertive. 2 things that your H might be attracted to including her power position. How is an atty going to make time for your young children? Not going to happen. Read the SAA survey for your H in the back and see what the 5 top drivers that are important to him and then use that as your plan of attack.
Also, I do not see OW waiting for him to return from Iraq. She will move on. You will have plenty of opportunity to DB across the sea because you have his children and H needs to stay in contact with you. As for what I wrote yesterday, I wasn't trying to change your opinion but both of those sentences you stated just hit me.
My older D called last night and was pretty down. She had texted H a few times over the weekend just to keep in contact and H never aknowledged or called her. She feels he is isolating himself from his family. She was very depressed, said I was always able to talk to Dad and now it is like he doesn't care. I told her he is screwed up right now and very involved with OW and she was crying. She said I hope that I do not just start hating him and be done with him. She said what will the holiday be like with it so messed up and where is Dad going -- to the OW. I said that might be the case and no plans are made for Thanksgiving. This is so hard. I feel for my family. I think when she comes for Thanksgiving she wants to approach OW and tell her how she wrecked our family. (who does she take after?) I pray everyday that OW will leave my H and pray that H will open his eyes to this she-devil.
