I posted a short while ago about DH sleeping with another woman years ago. It was resolved and almost forgotten about but then my company hired her and I have been working with her.
Recently I have had a bit of a rubbish time. I had a miscarriage, a couple of family bereavements, a fall out with a friend and DS has just had a huge operation which has brought a whole load of new problems with family.
Anyway, I have needed to be off work for a while. I'm a nursery manager and ow manages another nursery in the company but we're paired together for various reasons. She has been coming in to my setting to help out with the management side of things although my deputy and third in charge have most of it handled. I left DH's number on a post it on my desk saying to call him if it was an emergency and they couldn't get me.
DH's phone went off this morning while he was in the shower. I shouted through to him and he asked me to check it in case it was work. It was an unsaved number and the text said "Hope everything is ok with you guys. Sorry for what I sent on Friday, I was a bit drunk and stupid." I went in to the bathroom and told him and asked who it was. He then turned the water off and got out looking very serious and he said that he was sorry and didn't want me to find out yet. So I got a bit panicky and thought the worst. I hadn't opened the phone I'd just seen the message on the locked screen so at this point I did. I went to the messages and there wasn't one there from Friday but a few from last week.
The first said "Hi, hope you don't mind me texting you. Just wanted to check on DS and send you all my love." DH replied saying thanks, gave an update on DS and asked who it was. The reply came saying it was OW. DH then replied saying he wasn't too sure how she got his number and appreciated the nice ,message but would prefer it if she didn't contact him again.
She replied again saying it was on the post it and she felt like she couldn't resist texting, and that she was divorcing her husband having a really rough time and it was a moment of madness. She apologised and said she realised it was stupid but she could use a friendly face. DH replied again saying he was sorry to hear it but we had our own stuff going on and how unfair she's being to me who has handled our recent work situation so well. He said that he didn't want to upset me with so much going on and asked her again to not contact him.
There was nothing for a couple of days and then she text on Thursday saying she was sorry for contacting him in the first place and now she can't stop thinking about him and all these feelings were resurfacing. He didn't reply and she sent another one saying his stupid she is. He didn't reply and she said she gets the message and that I'm so lucky to have him.
DH has just told me that she text again on Friday night saying she missed him and wishes they would have had a chance of being together and she still thinks about him and the night they were together. He deleted it straight away and said you could tell she had been drinking because of the way it was typed and some of the words were spelt wrong. He didn't tell me because we've had so much stuff to deal with and he wanted to wait but admitted he wasn't sure if he was ever actually going to say anything because of the implications with work and it bringing up old feelings and memories for me.
I believe DH and understand why he didn't tell me. I don't know what to do about OW. She's clearly having a rough time but so am I and it doesn't give her the right to try and start things up with my husband especially after I've been so nice to her. Should I contact her or just leave it to DH to ignore her? I know some of you might think I should be suspicious that he deleted the text from Friday but I honestly believe him. We've come a very long way since this happened and he's a completely different person to who he was then, and so am I. And I know circumstances last time were different as we were fighting and probably going to break up but now are so strong and have DS.
I don't even know if I'm angry or upset or anything else because I've felt a million and one things over this past month! I'm just sat in the bath hoping for some good advice off mumsnet!

Dilly it might be worth getting this thread deleted or it might end up it the Daily Mail 
Just thinking you wouldn't want this and any previous threads ending up on there.
All the best Dilly, you've handled this with class and much restraint! The nasty peeps who have been messaging you need to take a long hard look at themselves (there's a joke in there but that's another thread 
...)
Why do they do it....
If you think a poster is a troll, then report it! There really is no need to derail threads or even haress someone via PM.
Good luck dilly and good idea to name change

Good luck Dilly - I wish you all well and hope your beautiful DS continues to recover well 
Thank you all so much for the advice on this thread, and to those who helped on previous threads.
We have decided to not contact the police but will if any more contact is made. DH is going to change his number though so there's very little chance of her getting in touch. The nurseries have been made aware that she has left and told that under no circumstances is she to be allowed on the premises without an owner or area manager present. I am going in to my nursery today and one of the owners is going to come and see me to fill me in on what's happened and what the plan is from here.
I'm going to namechange now, I have had a couple of messages suggesting I do this as well as some nasty ones claiming I am lying and impersonating somebody else. I'm not doing either of those things but can't be bothered defending myself on every thread in the future!
Thanks again 
Keep all the text messages..screen shot them and send them to management.she has crossed boundaries emotionally and professionally. Your dh shouldn't have replied and should have shown you some respect with your current situation.
However it does sound like he is being completely honest with you. He needs to block her number now and then you need to speak to management or hr. 
Thanks for the update Dilly glad she's left work, bloody awful woman and I hope none of you ever have to deal with her ever again.
Really sorry to hear about your poor DS I hope it wasn't anything to serious and that he's alright now.
