I remember you posted about this when you found out. Hugs, OP.
I think you are probably still very distraught and can't lash out at your husband or his AP, you feel the need to displace your anger by telling her husband. Since you already told him, I'd let it go, and focus that energy on you and your marriage. Are you in couples counseling? Is your DH in individual counseling? Is he in AA? |

Were you the poster whose husband went jogging? If so, I remember your post.
I'd leave it alone and work on my own marriage. |

| No. Leave him alone. That's basically what he (very politely) told you that he wants you to do. |

| What would be your objective, exactly? |

Is this OP the one who posted a while back about the DH having an "emotional affair" with a coworker with whom DH went jogging a lot? That poster referred to "long hugs when he walked her to her car." This OP also uses the same terms but leaves out the running. OP, if you are that same earlier poster: If you aren't already, get couples therapy. You are still focusing hard on the affair and he may not have told the full truth. The fact you are still thinking this much about contacting the AP's husband a second time shows you are in need of an objective outside professional to help you and your DH. |

Unless ap has an open marriage, there's no way her husband would react this way to op's email. The sex is obvious. Op's dh copped to "long hugs", a deflected kiss and that it took place for over a year with them meeting up alone. What a person admits to is the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. There is no way they didn't have sex, imo. |

| Yeah, grown adults who are emotionally close and have time alone don't just hug. They don't even just kiss. |

Totally what I thought too when I read the response. And I wouldn't say #3 is for sure...but the "tried" to kiss him doesn't fly. If at any point you "tried" (and failed--as what is implied by that) to kiss a guy and he did not respond, do you think you would be still having an "emotional" affair a year later? "Tried" implies he rejected her attempts and I guarantee you that did. not. happen. |

| OP, the email from AP's husband made me remember the other thread (they run 5-6 days a week or something like that). I'm sorry for what you're going through, but don't contact AP's husband again. You told him once, he either knew or didn't want to know. Telling him more isn't going to make things better for you. Imagine the best case scenario - that he dumps her once he finds out what she said to your husband. Will that really help heal your marriage? No. I know it seems like it'll make you feel better, but it won't. Be done with her and focus on your husband and yourself. |

Your post says so many things about you.
Clearly you are not in a forgiving state and need counseling - individual and marriage. You blame the OW. You squarely put it at her feet - your language (she tried to kiss him, she tried to get him to go out, her husband doesn't know the details). You clearly think that she should suffer in some way and be punished and be miserable - like you. It kills you that perhaps she's not. That somehow she came into your lives, created this chaos and upheaval and shoved off without a hint of remorse or having to get any payback. OH WELL. Maybe she's all the things you think. Could be true. Probably fairer to say that your husband is equally guilty and accountable. Either way - her relationship with her husband is not any of your business. And if she's no longer messing with your DH than you really shouldn't be focused on the details of her at all. If your husband was weak and ready and cheat - it would have been some other regular contact - co-worker, babysitter, 7/11 worker. Who knows? You're obsessed about the wrong thing. Get over her. It's pathetic and makes you look pathetic. You going to her DH will make you appear deranged and sad. Get your shit together. Ask for a trial separation if you have to. Good grief - have some self-respect about yourself. Decide if you can look at your husband after he engaged in an almost kiss and long hugs.

You do know that this forum is full of cheaters, right? Like a lot of them. Of course they are going to tell you not to. That's like 2/3rds of this forums worst nightmare.
Just call. I, for one, would appreciate it if my wife was cheating. |
