I also agree on breaking through the secrecy. I've told H that if we separate, he can start introducing OW to his friends and family. I act like I think he'll be excited about that...because after all, he's found someone he thinks is better than me and so since everyone likes me...they'll really like OW!
However, I also say that I don't want her to meet our kids until we are officially divorced.
I think it gives him some pause both from the perspective that introducing her would tell the world what he's done (which he isn't at all comfortable with) AND, I'm not convinced OW is going to be that impressed with his friends/family. His parents are pretty odd and OW comes from a very wealthy/public family.
Again, not sure anything gets through his fog...but I kind of like acting upbeat when I can about his future (while reminding him I wish we could work on our marriage and keep our family intact)
Let's hope these cheaters eventually get a conscience!
