Exposing at EA

[Still Waters]

Thanks everyone. I think there will always be things I look back on and wish I did a little differently, but overall I'm proud of the way I handled it. There was nothing I could have said last night to change my W's mind or to convince her to not date other men. All I could do was show her that I'm a strong, confident, and compassionate man who can go on with his life with or without her.

I don't think I'll have a problem with the no contact. It's going to be hard, but I know I can stick to it. The hardest thing will be after those phone bills arrive. I just know that the level of contact between her and the OM is going to be way more than she confessed to. I'll have to bite my tongue on what I find, at least for now.

I really have cut her off from my life completely. I made all of my online accounts private (Facebook and all that) and I'm even going to go silent with her family and the mutual friends that she and I have. She's not going to know a single thing about what I'm doing, and that's the way I want it.
