OK. When I found that I also called his mom and had her tell him to get out of the house because I did not want him there when I got home. She did and H left. I think he went to the fire house. He kept trying to call and text. I would not answer.
He said that she had that yahoo account from when they worked together and that he didn't know she had even sent him a message. True, he hadn't read it. He said that I was making a big deal out of nothing. I said wrong! I was done. If she thought that it was ok to still contact him that that is a problem. He came home that night and slept on the couch because I had nothing to say to him.
Sunday morning I woke up to a text on my phone. You guys are in for a real treat... here it goes...
OW- I'm sorry. For the problems I caused in your marriage. I will leave him alone.
ME-How can I believe that. If u love him how can you? (NAME) we have been happy for 12 years and have 3 beautiful children. You don't know me and probably think I am crazy but I am not. I am kind, forgiving, faithful and hurt. I just don't understand all of this. I have wanted to go to your church so bad and get some kind of help but I didn't even have the heart to hurt you that bad. Stupid of me. I know I have to forgive u. I don't know.
OW-I'm a good person (my name) I hurt to. I hate everyone hurting from this
ME-I reached out in kindness when this started. I know in my heart that u didn't owe me anything. U didn't say vows in front of god to me. He did. If you only knew the pain. It hurts to think of all the things he has probably told you about me that aren't even true. I hope that you find happiness and that u make this right with God because he has carried me through a lot of this. Even my children hurt. (H's name) is not a bad person. Maybe we were just in a vulnerable place. Maybe one day I will forgive. Thank u for reaching out and I hope it is genuine.
ME- (Name) do you love him? Do you want him to leave his family for you?
OW- I am not a home wrecker.
Me- I want to know if u truly love and want him or did it just go too far? I need some truth. Truth is better than all the lies. I want closure one way or the other.
OW- Thats up to you.
ME- I want my family but I will not have 3 in it. It is time u two own ur crap and end it for good. Know that it was wrong and rise above. I know he is not going to leave me. U need to realize that he loves me more than this and our children deserve both parents. (name) if he was going to leave he already would have. That may hurt but it is the truth. He loves me and has pushed me away but he is trying to make it right. Now it is done. Do not block your number and call him anymore. Do not send him texts. I have plenty of those. It is done. I do not need you to contact me anymore unless it is to say u have met someone and I will wish u happiness.
ME- Read Matthew about affairs. Do u not know that nothing good can come of it. It is an abomination. I do not have to judge that will come from above. He that destroys himself will not sit in my presence. Psalms.
Me- Just know that I have been praying for u and my marriage. God is stronger than this and will bring us through. Maybe we crossed paths for a reason and when we get to heaven we will know why we went through these trials. It is time people practice what they preach. Actions speak louder than words. Lets say u two would end up together. He would eventually hate u and himself for losing his family. I know him better than anyone. He gave u a small part of himself and it was the weakest part that any man can give. I bet u didn't bet on it being a woman like me. Heal yourself. Pray. U will get through.
Was what I said to her appropriate? Should I have been a whole lot meanier? For those of you who think I was too soft when I talked to her on the phone I told her I hoped he could move in with her because he deserved an adultering home wrecking whore like her.... so I did have my moment of nastiness.
I woke him up and read him all of the texts. I told him that he needed to man up and be done with it once and for all because I am. I am done with it. I wash my hands of it even if it means he has to leave and I have to move on. I have taken the high road and this is the last straw. He said that he doesn't want to call or talk to her. I told him he better do what he needs to do because this one heart that I have is done giving and I will not give anymore.
So, I did not talk to him the rest of the day. The kids and I had an awesome time playing outside. We had an awesome dinner. We went and watched the fireman play softball... yes he was there. He went and got his own dinner. He came home and fell asleep on the bed so I happily watched old movies and slept on the couch. Today he mowed the grass, went to work, came home and I have yet to say anything to him. I am now at work and glad to be away. This is the final home stretch. He may not have known that she was sending him a message, but I will accept no less than nothing between the two of them. If they fail I know what I must do. Thanks for reading.
