I wish I had told OW H right away-and I wish I had forwarded the evidence (skanky e card) to myself before H deleted it.

This is perhaps the best advice I've seen!!! Thank you for posting it and giving some perspective!

I followed a lot of that advice without even knowing it was posted here. I carved my absolutes in the sand and did not negotiate on those things. I'm glad I did.

... bumping the best (most strengthening, clarifying) advice I got on SI ... I still read it to remember the validity of the path I chose. The more time goes by, the wiser and better it becomes, too ... for me.

So what other minimums would you set down? I am getting really frustrated and ready to file for D with my husband because the minimums I already set down he refused half of them and complain about the other half... I am just curious what other minimums you can think of!

hurting2much ( member #25643) posted at 1:02 AM on Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

The bare minimums right now:

1. NC with OW

2. No drinking

3. No clubbing/strip clubs

(...but WH is overseas so no real way to "validate" if he is adhering to these minimums)
