But I would be interested in knowing why you think it was a bad idea?

The OM is just a prop in YOUR play, he is nothing other than someone who is there and accessible to your wife.
So confronting him is really a waste of time and energy and could possibly be fraught with other potential problems.

Whereas I do not fear bringing up the topic with W, I am unsure if it will help. I suppose short term it will push us a part more, but maybe with time she will respect it.


Any tips/advice about best approach? Anything to avoid?

I hope that you are detached enough that when she denies anything has happened you are not pulled into a fight and you can just walk away from the conversation.
Yes this is about winning the war not this battle.
I think you seem to know based on what you wrote above.

The point is, if things are going to get worse then it is only a matter of time anyways.

Basically you have a boundary that you will not be in a relationship with her if she is in a relationship with some one else.

I hope that is clear.
