Have you figured out if there's an OM involved? In my WW's case, he's the one that was coaching her moves and instigated this whole disaster. When I confronted her about her EA, she immediately launched into the WW script of we can be friends, I fell out of love, let's not make this ugly, etc. I know DB discourages exposure, but in my case I think I did the right thing to set the record straight with our friends and family.

My WW is not a confident person. She second guesses herself about everything. It takes her half an hour to write a thank you note, and she wants me to proofread it! She has a lawyer just like yours, who likes to run up the bills, run to court for every little thing. It's terrible.

My WW questions every little thing I do, even though it is in everyone's best interest (except the lawyers, of course) to minimize the L bills. She is being spoon-fed bad legal advice and I explained to her, in the end it will cost her assets as well, which ends up being our son's college fund. She doesn't have a good understanding of the legal or financial system so she questions and doubts everything I say.

I am still hoping for reconciliation but it is very hard to see your former best friend scheming against you constantly. I am sure you know what I mean!

I've had sleepless nights ever since D-day. I have questioned everything about myself and my life just like you have. Hang in there and we will get through this!
