I feel the same way about my grandmother!!!! She did get to see my kids born but my six year old talks about her all the time- saying how much she misses her.

Why do you think your wife wrote off the marriage?? To me, I would think that she would have written it off due to resentment- which was the case in my affair/divorce.

What would she be resentful of though if you were meeting all of her EN's? Quite frankly, you cannot be sure about that unless she's filled out the EN questionaire, correct?

It does sound like you are doing all you can to hold the marriage together.

What were some of the red flags you saw in her before you married her? How long did you know her?

Man, I just read all this.

I don't really think infidelity is the problem with your wife. I mean, I think whatever the problem is manifests itself in many ways, one of them being infidelity, but the problem goes much deeper than that.

She's not having an affair you can really stop! What are you going to do? Call every man on myspace and yahoo? She doesn't appear to care much who it is she's having innapropriate contact with, and as soon as you stop one she's started 3 more.

She seems to have a complete lack of respect for you, her son, and herself. I would suspect its some combination of psychiatric disorder and alcoholism fueling this behavior.

I mean, I can understand most infidelity. I don't agree with it, but I can at least comprehend how someone either was provided an opportunity and seized it or developed intimate feelings for someone else. But your wife is out there seeking opportunities with strangers. That's not very typical. It just makes me think that infidelity is just the tip of this iceberg.

Good luck man.
