Print out or transcribe what your heard (preferably sexts if there) then start randomly reading them out loud when you guys are getting into bed or having coffee.
10/10 recommend was a very satisfying moment for me |
My xH had an EA, and this is terrible advice. All he will do is paint the wife as crazy, controlling, and insecure, then use that to justify his actions. "See, I told you she was insane! Not like you, *YOU* understand me, you are so special!" Honestly the best thing for OP to do is completely disengage from the marriage. Get in shape, upgrade her hair and wardrobe, start getting attention from men. Focus 100% on herself. Either he freaks out and stops the EA, or she gets some self-esteem, realizes she deserves better, and leaves (what I did). |
If you are the host of a lunch between your wife and your lied about AP, whatever you say about "who is crazy" is questionable. Personally I'd do a vibe check. A lot of the mate stealing AP women are flaky and insecure types. Seeing them in person might allow one to assess exactly what type of person is on the other side of the rope. When your kids do bad things, do you just do the 180? Or do you let them know you're aware that they are up to stuff. People who are left to their own devices get that delicious feeling of a successfully hidden secret. I don't think it's too controlling to thwart that. If DH and AP want to live in a world where the wife is the crazy one for checking in, then things are in a very bad way anyway. |
It doesn't sound like she was a party in the conversation she recorded. That's illegal everywhere. |
False. For example, in Virginia it is a felony, with up to 5 years in prison and a fine of up to $2500. |
He is not having an affair.
You can’t be half pregnant you either are or not. |
Don’t disclose he can criminally charge you for wiretap in most states. |
It doesn’t work that way. When I was 22, I worked in a restaurant where the 50 year old manager was having an affair with a 25 year old waitress. The wife came in ALL the time and would sit in the waitresses’s section. All it did was make the wife look crazy. The best thing to do is just leave. Don’t do the pick me dance, don’t try to play it cool, don’t try to shut it down. They broke the marriage vows, so leave. |
Maybe she can find a prison wife. |
What is an emotional affair ? |
When a wife is upset that her husband has friends. |
It’s beyond friends. My xH had an EA - while I was laying in the hospital half dead from eclampsia and recovering from an emergency c section, and our DC was in the NICU weighing 3 pounds, he was busy writing cheesy love DMs to an ex-girlfriend about how special she is, how nobody else in the world understands him the way she does, how he hopes they can take a trip together, etc. Never even told her that he was married or that he had just had a child. That’s not friendship. |
It's not like you were available to talk to. Maybe he thought you still might die. |
An affair is an affair. Zero difference IMO. |
Did you take him back ? |
