There have been several things that have happened since yesterday. We still haven't told the kids anything.
This morning I was able to put Starsky's advice to good use. Remember the W mentioned that my next GF can thank her for my changes. We were in a convo this morning and something similar came up and I told the W, "I can assure that I am not interested in another woman because I take my marriage vows very seriously". That statement worked beautifully. It got quiet as she had to process what I said.
I also had the opportunity to set some boundaries. First, she has to be responsible for her cell bill, auto insurance and gym membership needs to be canceled.
Those were the highlights for the day, before turning south.
As W was in the shower, she left her phone on the charger. I went through her contacts and found the smoking gun. Holy smokes did I find it. I pulled up her HS sweetheart, actually his number came up immediately. Bingo, my heart dropped and my blood pressure went through the roof. I couldn't believe what I was reading. The W copied a couple of message from him to his contact information. They said something along these lines, "I love you and I knew true love when I was with you" and another one saying, "life will be good with you again". I'm paraphrasing because I was too dumb to look any deeper. I came downstairs, slid the phone under the bathroom door and told her I now know what she is up to. I left immediately after that and straight to the bank. She didn't even know why I was upset. The phone turned off when I slid it under the door.
On my way home she called me to find out why I was upset. I told her what I found. W tells me that nothing is going on. My response, is, "I don't believe you and given what has happened in the last 3 months, I have a hard time believing anything you say".
The convo continued and I told her if she wants the D, she will have to get me served, because everything that was previously agreed to just went out the window. Of course she didn't like it, but it isn't my problem.
I'm typing on my phone, so please excuse my errors.
