My husband ended his 5week affair about a week and half ago. He blocked her on FB and blocked her number on his cell phone. We have started MC and both have verbalized our committment to R, etc. Well, I just went on his email because I haven't been getting the emails from my son's teacher, and he sent her an email tonight!!!! The email basically stated that he felt he never got to say his peace and that he wanted her to know that even though she thinks he is a liar, he meant and felt everything he told her at the time. (as far as loving her, wanting to be with her forever, etc) He also said his plan had been to stop the sexual contact with her, and just see/talk to her to determine if he really loved her or it was just lust. But everything blew up on both ends and "they never really got the chance." What the hell?????? He also apologized to her for hurting her and said that under different circumstances they could have been happy together forever. He also told her how beautiful she is, how great of a mom she is and how she deserves nothing but the best in life. And he signed the damn email "love,xx" What am I supposed to think of this?? I am very mad and hurt. Am I overreacting???? He is a firefighter and on shift, so can't contact now. What should I do????

The best revenge is to live well and not be invisible, show them how well you are without them but maintain a sense of grace and integrity. Find that grace to recast your life and do it well.
You could print off a copy, and play nice till your next MC session. Set him up with a question or statement about commitment to reconciling, and when he responds, drop the letter in his lap and ask him how that is supposed to help with the reconciliation.
he might be emotionally attached to this woman not necessarily in love, but infatuated enough to delude himself into thinking it is love. He is emotionally needy and that woman provides a stimulus for him. He never wanted to end it he just got caught thus now he is trying to make amends hoping to regain that stimulus. He does not know what he wants and he is going to manipulate you (and her) in order to satisfy himself don't blow up in his face or go crazy. when he gets home and you have time confront him, show him the proof and simply tell him that you are worth more than that and that you WILL leave him. I would advise separating from him for a bit if possible so that he gets the message. The reason he contacted her again was because he never truly feared the loss of his relationship with you. Once he realizes that he could actually lose you for real he won't be able to delude himself into his emotional bullshi t. This is what you ought to do. You will see i am right if you do it.
You have every right to be irate. I would print that email....have it for yourself to show him when he gets home..
Do this. Print it out and show it to him when he gets home. Say "What's this?" Remain calm and listen to him spew and try to explain his way out of it. Then tell him to leave. That he's not welcome in the marital home and that you refuse to live in an open marriage so he can Get the fvck out
Be firm. Tell him this is not negotiable. And then expose the affair. To her husband or partner if she has one and her family. Do this without giving him or her ANY warning so they don't have time to get their stories straight. The key is to remain calm. Posted via Mobile Device
Expose her first before confronting him, do the whole shebang, her work, her family her friends . Don't mess around , tell his parents and if you have children old enough tell them as well . This guy is playing you and her , take all the monies you can into a secure account, be hard and unrelenting. If he chooses to apologise and commit to you after this incident , he hand writes a letter of nc to her, he hand writes a letter to your parents , his parents and hers apologising for his adultery.
Be firm in these boundaries and don't waver . Posted via Mobile Device
Now is not the time to offer him more chances even if that's your end goal. You need to tell him you are done and she can have him...that you deserve better than this. BE FIRM! Posted via Mobile Device

You are trying to see the best in them , they however do not care about you . Absolutely expose her adultery and his , neither should be ashamed of this and if they are such good souls they will both ask for forgiveness . Exposure for them is an oppotunity to practice honesty. There is to be no contact for life if your marriage is to have any hope of recovery. Posted via Mobile Device
