So the OM was in your house sitting on your couch and you......shook his hand:sick:

 

Dude you seriously need some self respect like badly

 

being a nice guy wont work in this situation

 

You are allowing another man to take your family without any fight its actually kind of sad

 

GYBB (GET YOUR BALLS BACK)

I don't believe in fighting over women. This guy isn't taking his family, only his wife. She's likely not worth keeping, anyway. In any event, there's no downside to standing up to her as has been discussed in this thread.

Tell him to leave your house. And not come back but he can take your wife with him.

 

Your child(ren) should NOT be exposed to this at all. Your wife is being bloody selfish and shame on her for bringing the OM around like that! WTF. You can tell her priorities, not caring at all what this is doing to your kid(s).

She's under the fog. She's making the most irrational and dumb decisions in her life right now.

I don't see anything wrong with "being nice about it." I'd be perfectly nice abot the whole thing but I'd also he completely inflexible about my hard-line boundaries. If it's my (or our) house, I'm not leaving and he's not staying. I could have been a better husband (and I'm prepared to be) but having an affair in front of our daughter is not acceptable.

 

The more upset they get, the more calm you get. But be decisive and be on the right side of the argument.

She called me last night wondering how I was doing. And we talked for a bit. Read her my letter to her which she responded with that's very nice and that it's not fair to give her an ultimatum of cutting all ties with her affair. Talked with my baby girl as well. It's like she's in pain, and she urged me to start seeing other people too. I know that is a sign of her guilty conscious.

 

I mean, is there any hope at all there?

I know exposing the affair did a huge number on her because she left work as soon as she got there because word travels fast there. Affairs don't last under critical scrutiny. So, I hear and they also tend to have a high failure rate anyway. What's going to happen is she's going to realize how she f..cked up once reality hits her.

 

Right now, it seems like she's sitting on the fence to fantasy land. She also isn't doing anything with him this weekend so that's good.

There's just one answer to this level of in-your-face-remorselessness and cruelty:

 

File for divorce ASAP and stop communicating with her at all except as it concerns kids or finances, and even then only by email.

 

F*ck this bitch.

She just called me. I tried to stay as calm as possible. She was blowing up. Which they usually do. Said she transferred all the bills to her name and that I can't stay. I calmly tried to let her know that if she wants to continue seeing him, she can move out. She did not budge.

I'm not remotely suggesting that he try to "nice her back." Trust me, I get it.

 

IMHO, it's about having healthy, firm boundaries. You can absolutely be firm about what behaviors are acceptable and you can decide what actions you'll take when your boundaries are crossed. That shows strength. Resisting your urge to react emotionally also shows strength. Becoming a violent arsehole doesn't show strength; it shows weakness. Rational decisiveness to protect your marriage and child is the goal here.

 

Just my $.02

It's fixin' to get nasty(er). Have a VAR with you any time you're around her. Largely to protect yourself from a false DV claim, but they can come in handy in other circumstances as well. They run about fifty bucks at Bestbuy or Walmart.

im not suggesting he go into the house and lose his **** but moving out and shaking the OM hand as he was on his couch is just insanity.

 

Not being nice isint getting angry and losing your sh*t its having a backbone and standing up for yourself and in this case its setting boundaries

Yep! You f*cked up. Remember to stop off and get that VAR and order a new bed.

She did not budge.

 

Unless she has some legal claim to the house that you don't, then you don't budge either. I'd bet the house is a marital asset. You have as much right to it as she does.

It's actually just an apartment and the lease is up.

 

She wants me to go half on the upcoming rent as well, since I lived there in August. If that's how she wants to play it, I'll pay for my daughter's well-being but I'm not paying her rent too. She'll have to figure that one on her own. She doesn't make nearly enough to live there on her own.

Okay, in that case I wouldn't pay a dime towards her rent. Your daughter can live with you if that's a financial problem for your "wife".

 

Have you talked to an attorney yet?
