I will catch up on your thread later when I have more time.
My H tried going around telling people that we were "having Marital difficulties". Minor understatement! H wanted people to believe he left b/c of that, rather than OW. I headed him, putting the truth out there 1st.
"H is having an affair w/OW. I want to repair my M. Please support my M, and encourage him to end A". Simple request...no need to discuss it any further with most folks. Details feed gossip and misinformation. You will find some folks just want details and updates for entertainment purposes. You don't need to feed that with any but your most trusted (and us!)
"If you strike me down, I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine!" 1st thread
