thanks for checking on the upthread,

Dan,
So one lesson you can learn here is that when you thought your W's word was good about no contact w OM, she only went deeper underground w it . Learn.

The other thing I think you should understand is that you can hire an attorney and save your M at the same time. My dear H hired an attorney - a big bulldog of a lawyer when I left him to protect himself and our family. And I can promise you that all he ever wanted was to preserve our family. Just bc you have legal advice does not mean you are throwing in the towel. My opinion is that you would be foolish not to seek legal counsel. FOOLISH! Your W is gearing up to leave you, Dan. You need to get your ducks in a row. The less help you have legally, the easier you make it for her to walk away. I need you to know that it was the legal tactic that my H took which gave me te pause I needed to see what I was facing. It made me think twice and that was the second thought that turned the tide.
