Thanks very much for the compliment. I honestly don't know what else to do other than taking the high road.


That's exactly how I feel. I refuse to allow myself to be dragged down to her level, but sometimes I feel like I'm containing an inferno inside. AFWAW, keep your head high.

MIL called yesterday and said that she asked wife about if the OM was still gone. Wife told her Mom that she wasn't going to talk about OM to her or me anymore--so, I have to assume the worst and believe that she is back in contact w/ OM.


My MIL has been enormously supportive of me, and my W also refuses to discuss anything regarding our separation or the OM with her. Amazing how the WAW avoids discussion with those who would point out how what they're doing is wrong, and will embrace those who support them. AFWAW, you said some of your W's friends are saying she's better off with OM. I am amazed how some of my W's friends actually support her affair. How does that happen? I thought these people were my friends too.

If you wanted to give some guilt I'm sure you could find a way.


In the past if I tried to lay any guilt on her, she would tear into me with the standard WAW script. ...Our marriage was a mistake... you were a bad husband... I haven't loved you for years... how could you possibly expect me to be a good wife while I was living in such misery... etc.

It's remarkable how they try to convince themselves that they were perfectly within their rights to have an affair. It's all your fault.
