W has been in contact with OM, but has been forthright about it. She says she is worried about his mental health because he is currently away from his home and friends, and she wants to stay in some degree of contact for one more week until the OM's wife is able to join him.
This is really upsetting to me. I feel like W is putting OM's needs ahead of mine. She has already agreed that we won't be able to successfully work on our M until the contact is broken. On the other hand, she has shown a commitment to transparency by telling me about the contact, and has set a final date for no contact.
I have said that she needs to be honest with herself about why she is contacting him. This contact has a cost and it is delaying the reconciliation she says she wants. I don't know what else to do right now except get on with my own life for the next week and maintain a positive attitude.
