Make sure these friends know about her affair asap
Ken, stop listening to her rant about how hopeless the marriage is etc.. its NOT HELPING
WALK AWAY when she tries that crap.. do NOT let HER DO THAT.. WALK AWAY
If she tells you that you ruined her reputation :
No, that creep violating your marriage and you chasing him like a teenager did that just fine... You are supposed to be a MOTHER who PROTECTS her family from predators like that... does he have to push your KIDS TOO before you DO SOMETHING about him? You didn't expect me to HIDE what he's doing from people FOR you did you? Do you think I'm a doormat? You think I shoul just sit back and let him violate my home and my family? I am PROTECTING MY FAMILY... Why don't YOU try it for a while... It will give you a MUCH BETTER reputation than the one you are getting right now...
Let her poke around... I will find osme articles for you to print up too... She will read them if you leave them laying around...
Yes get that RO, particularly if she's defending him...
You had every right to call him a creep Ken, YOU arne't violating HIS family... HE"S the creep... don't worry about your wife, she's just an addict right now and its just her addiction talking to you right now.. you need to STOP letting her RANT like that.. WALK AWAY... EACH TIME she rants like that, she REINFORCES this gargage into her thoughts and gets herself MORE CONVINCED...
How doyou stop it? You don't ENTERTAIN IT... you walk away and make it clear you refuse to listen to her negativity... she will stop eventually if you stop listening to her gargage...
