She has been taking my cell phone with her "for emergencies" but I know that she used it to talk to the OM both yesterday and the day before. If I keep it from her, she gets very mad at me and says I am not her father.
You know her and you know what she is doing. Why do you give in to what she demands? Why are you afraid of her anger?

she went shopping with me but refused to hold my hand
So, you are still trying to pursue physical affection.....after we told you to stop.

I also know that the OM send her a message today on her Facebook saying, "This is really hard for me but I think you will be better off if you forget about me." Not sure what prompted that, but I hope he's serious.
Of course he is not serious, Ken. Wake up! He is just playing "poor kitty".

I was very reluctant to give it too her but I wanted to avoid problems
AVOID PROBLEMS?
Look Ken, you need to know the difference between "peace" and "avoiding problems". She is having an affair! You are helping her to have this affair. How do you see that as avoiding problems.
Let me put it to you like this. This is how I see you, if she would just not get upset (mad) at you and keep things calm at home and give you physical affection....then you would be happy. Am I right? I doubt you would even fuss about OM if she would just give you physical affection b/c that has been your real problem throughout all of this.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
