Should I tell the OW he's contacting me

I'm so angry today. xn has e-mailed me 3 times today after I have told him not to contact me anymore. I want to tell the ow so bad about all of the times he has called and e-mailed me. Should I do this? this has been over a period of 10 months. I'm so upset I'm shaking. He is trying to call me as I am writing this and I'm having a hard time concentrating. Please any advice

Thanks Girlsinger, I have

Thanks Girlsinger, I have bookmarked this after I watched and listened. It brought me to a calmer place for now. I need relief. It has been one of the longest days I've had in a long long time and I don't want another on like it if ever at all. Hanging on, Djae

I'm so sorry he was like that

I'm so sorry he was like that towards your dog. :=( Ugh...they're disgusting. Really...that's the only word I can muster right now. BUT...IF IT WERE HIS DOG? Oh, you'd have to drop everything, no doubt. *eye roll* I think that you have everything you need before you to make the right decisions. Sometimes, we just are fearful of life without them in it. We have grown accustomed to the drama. To the chaos. To waiting for the other shoe to drop...we forget that life goes on without them. I have been there. I honestly can say, it gets better. There will come a day, when you will see his calls, roll your eyes, and just keep movin.' lol Trust me, you'll get there. Just keep resisting the temptation to pick the phone up. Resist the temptation to call the OW. THAT, I WOULD NEVER EVER EVER DO. Unless he's plotting to murder her, and you have evidence...then, you'd be saving a life. But, barring that? She won't believe you...and you'll end up kicking yourself for days. I think that at this point, we all come to a crossroads. The one road keeps us locked in turmoil, the other leads to freedom. But, the road to freedom isn't without its bumps. But, once you get past those bumps, you will feel better. You will feel victorious. Pray for him to find peace. Pray for yourself to find strength to stay silent. Pray pray pray. It is powerful. I honestly prayed for God to help me stay away from even lurking on the website we belong to...and guess what? It's working! If I can do it, you can do it. God bless...and stay strong.

Thank You Deidre40, I really

Thank You Deidre40, I really need to pray and pray some more. I know I can't get through this without God's help and I feel like I let God down for even responding to him. I know in my heart that I should pray for his peace because I have done it so many times before when we were together. And you hit it when you said the road to freedom is bumpy. It sure has been a rough road for me these last 10 months. I know I am supposed to learn something from all of this. I believe their was a reason for him in my life and I was starting to find myself again until I fell for his lip service today. I was used to the chaos and drama and everything that went along with it. Maybe it was just too quiet for me today and what I need to do is learn to enjoy quiet and focus on getting my self esteem back. Hopefully I won't see his calls anymore. I just checked with my phone service and there is a $36 fee to change your number. I just found out I will be out of work after 8/26. I really don't have the x-tra $ to do this right now so I will just have to be strong and not answer it if it is him. Thank you for your words of encouragement and prayers. djae

First, you should change your

First, you should change your phone number or block him. Block him from email, etc. Truly. If you truly truly truly want him out of your life--then you have to seal off the gaps. Second, nothing good will come of you contacting the OW. He will make you look nuts, as they always make their ex's look nuts...but we know better now. lol And second, you will feel badly getting involved. And doubtful she'll believe you.

I truly do want him out of my

I truly do want him out of my life. He has done some so many hurtful and hateful things to me. I still remeber the night before I found out about him cheating on me again. My 13 year old dog had a stroke and it was past office hours for the vet and his response to me was..You should have put her down a long time ago. Now we have to load her up in your car b/c I'm not putting her in my truck I don't want dog hair in it. She was a siberian husky and he didn't even help me get her into the car. He was so cold about the whole thing. He did go with me but when we got back he just turnd the tv on and acted like nothing had happened. I was crying in the bedroom and not even a word from him. I'm trying to be strong today but having a hard time. I just sat outside for a while and was reading a book on forgiveness. Couldn't focus on it as much as I would have liked to but just sitting outside seemed to help. I'm not going to contact OW. I would just be repaying evil with evil. You're right she probably wouldn't believe me anyway. Thanks for your insight. It has helped me get through another hour. djae

Honestly I don't know how

Honestly I don't know how anyone can be so cold and selfish,but what I'm learning here is that these men are just shells with no emotions. Only when someone hurts them personally do they react. It truly is all about them.

Oh girlsinger you made me cry

Oh girlsinger you made me cry but in a good way. Thank you so much for your response and bringing me back to reality. You are right when you say he is 6 years old. That is what I felt like I was dealing with for so long. I'm going to take a cool shower and then take my Noah(my black lab) out for a walk. He is my best friend right now. I really havn't felt like this in a long time and I just don't want to go back to square one again. It's so hard to grasp that I was so in love with such a disordered person. I guess I really have to start looking from within again. I have such mixed emotions right now. Maybe the fresh air will help me sort them out. Thank you again so so much.

If I had the OW's email I

If I had the OW's email I would be strongly tempted to forward them to her. At least email is some kind of objective proof of his contact. Telling her he is calling you might just make you sound like a crazy ex. Reality though is that the N is her problem to figure out. May be best to just be NC and he (hopefully) will stop contacting you.

I feel crazy right now. When

I feel crazy right now. When I told him in a reply that I was going to tell her he said why would you want to make trouble for me? I'm not making any touble for you. He said I just want to make sure he is miserable. I can't believe him!! I thought I was doing a little better and I blew it by even responding to him. I feel horrible right now. I can't believe I loved him so much. He twisted everything around to make it seem like it was all me again. Started telling me he worries about me. Well he didn't worry about me when he was screwing around on me all those times. didn't worry about me when he moved in with his xw the day after we split. What a terrible day this has been. He is still telling me I hope your happy with your new man. I don't have a new man in my life nor do I want one at this time. I have too much baggage from him still. It's so nice outside and I don't even want to leave the house.
