"I would start with not allowing yourself to be disrespected by her talking about -- or calling/texting -- OM in front of you or the kids. That's #1. Then I would look at is the family's finances being used to conduct her affair? What are the current financial sitation? (who pays for what, etc.)

- She doesn't call/text OM in front of me.
- OM hasn't been around D3,D4 in a few weeks. I can't say if he was or not Tuesday when W had them, but for the past 3 weeks, not around them.
- D13 will not be around OM
- W has her bills. I have mine. We have separate accounts. I did not assist her financially this month.


On our trip, we did a lot of talking. In the past she said she liked how I didn't play games. I told her that I wasn't going to disrespect myself in this situation and told her not to play games with me. She quickly said she wasn't.

She slipped when talking to me. I was talking about how she needs to let her guard down so we can connect. She thought I said she needs to let go of OM so we can connect and said she was trying. She realized what she said and tried to change the subject.

She doesn't rub OM in my face. It is there, but rarely spoken about.


D13 is taking this the worst. D3, D4 don't really see any difference. D13 tries to convince me OM is gone and begs me to keep trying to go out with her mom.
