um... you cant make her end the affair, you can only provide a consequence if it doesn't, she has to make the decision to end it.

As for discussing sons day, is that a call you need to take? I might suggest taking some time to digest everything and think about what you want. If you do take the call, give a brief update and end the call, don't linger on the phone.

In my case my W was still in the house, so how I handled things was different and I don't know what strategy you can use to provide consequence for the A. For example, I told her I wouldn't share the MBR with a cheater, I stopped waking her up for work, stopped making coffee for her, I started being out of the house a lot.

Hopefully a vet with a little more experience in a sitch like yours stops by and offers some words of wisdom. In the long run, DB'ng, GAL, Validate, still apply, but nothing will matter until the OM is out of the R.
