Yes, they're both at fault, I know that's the sole argument, but who is MOST at fault here? Her. Deal with the consequences within the marriage, whatever that may entail for you now, but don't be a sour grape kinda guy, no one respects him.
It's not a b#tch move. Its called telling the truth and holding people accountable for their actions.

Keeping silent and helping people cover up things is not only incredibly passive, but it just reinforces with them and others that this crap is tolerated.

You are so wrong here. He has every right to do whatever he can legally to the other man. The gloves are off. This man stepped into his marriage without concern. This OM must never be tempted to be involved with her again. For this to be true, there must be as much consequences as possible. The OM is lucky that we live in a civilized society. In the past less civilized times (and in some countries even today) the penalty dealt for cheating with another persons spouse would be far worse.

I know you don't think so now, but this is a good thing. You finally have the truth about what kind of "woman" you have been married to. You can finally be free.

Did she take the boys with her? If not, document this. It may be the only way you could get custody, because being an unscrupulous woman, unfortunately, won't count against her. As the mother, she already has the advantage. If you can document that she left and didn't take the boys with her, that might work in your favor.

How could she ever do this me? Or our family?
I'm going to say it, as harsh as it is, its the truth. Because she is a low down, dirty wh0re. Maybe to do this to someone who isn't blood is one thing, but when you cheat on your spouse, you cheat on your kids.

And cheaters, don't even chime in saying that isn't true. When you hurt the person your kids love, you hurt the kids.
Not only that, you rob time from your kids in favor of having sex with someone other than their other parent.

Don't ever think that. No matter what happens, they have you!!

Its proven now they can't count on their mother to look after their best interests. But as long as they have you, they have something. Just remember that.

All else equal the wife is most accountable.

That said, if this was me, the dude would not come out of this very well. Just sayin. Guys should know better. I am very sorry but you messed with the wrong guys wife. You play ... you takes your chances.

I think it sends the wrong message when people defend the OM and say it is all on the WW. I think how much scorched earth depends on the circumstances. If he is a predator who did this for another notch, he would be history and the world would have one less scumbag on it. So it depends.

If you do nothing to this guy you are his b!tch.

What a crappy woman.

Cheating on you and abandoning her kids. Nice.

So sorry you are going through this

I am so sorry you are going through this. Many of us are dealing with the same situation. I wish there was an easy way out of all the pain for you and all the rest of us living with this gut wrenching pain. Stay strong, be there for your kids, you will make it even though the tasks ahead feel so hard.

This is so nutless and metrosexual it makes me want to put a fist through the screen. I can't stand it when posters advise putting your tail between your legs and slinking off.

Yeah, he's gonna go tell on the guy to his boss, real f-ing tough. If he wants to show dominance, confront him face to face. Telling on him is going to do what? He "might" lose his job....oooooooooh, point made. And don't hit the screen, you might hurt yourself.
Like I said, I always hold the person in the relationship that cheats accountable, she might have been feeding that dude lies about her husband, doesn't make it right, but he may have been going to her rescue. His wife was the one on her back going to pound town. She took the vows, not the guy, she chose to invite him in. So yeah, go ahead, tell on him, I hope his boss laughs and says to check your woman and keep your personal business out of his office. If it didn't affect productivity, big deal. And believe me, that's what happens most times.

I agree with you to a degree. Yes, if you want to make a point to the other man, scare the **** out of him. Show him you're a mad man that will do harm for stepping into his family. But telling on him? They even teach 5 year olds not to tattle. If you're not going to do anything physically like he did to your wife in the sack, telling on him makes you that guy. No one is defending the OM, but you're going to blame someone else for a decision the person YOU chose to marry made, that seems like major deflection.

You said legally, right? The OM can file for harassment. He did nothing to this man personally. So calling his job making claims that will affect his livleyhood, he has more grounds to file than you do. Your wife can't keep her lips closed, yeah, this guy is totally at fault.

As a general business observation, most companies take an extremely dim view on the sexual fraternization of their employees, more especially in circumstances such as yours. The mantra here is that the affair being perpetuated by two of that company's employees is not affording that company anything of an affirmative nature inasfar as its positive public image is concerned. The greatest fear here, in my opinion, would be that your wife and her OM might both get sacked by the company!

It couldn't be more personal. Om can be and sued for alienation of affection in some states and intentional infliction of emotional distress in all states. Except for your suggestion to take it up with the other man personally the rest of your logic is just pu$$y whipped.
