Found this in regards to martial assests in Michigan (I thought you said you were in MI)

"The court looks at property as marital or separate assets. Byington v. Byington, 224 Mich. 103, 568 N.W.2d 141 (1997); Reeves v. Reeves, 226 Mich. App. 490, 575 N.W.2d 1 (1997). Assets that are accumulated during a period of cohabitation before the marriage are not marital property. Marital property is that property accumulated through the joint efforts of the parties during the marriage. Leverich v. Leverich, 340 Mich. 133, 64 N.W.2d 567 (1954). It includes any assets earned up to the date of judgment (even if received after judgment). Byington, supra."

You've read the basic concepts, right? You saw how the love bank works, with deposits and withdrawals?

If you give her space, and you guys stop making deposits, what happens to her feelings of love for you? What happens to your feelings of love for her?

and to stop torturing myself over it.

Yes, it would be wonderful if we could just not feel bad when people hurt us. That would be great advice if we could just change the way we feel.

But the truth is, feelings follow actions.

If you try to save your marriage and succeed, how are you going to feel?

If you try and fail, how are you going to feel?

If you don't try at all, how will you feel?


If you are serious about saving your marriage, you can't get it all on this forum. You've got to listen to the Marriage Builders Radio show, every day. Install the app!

What's your decision steve? Are you going to sit there and watch your marriage fall apart?

or

Are you going to do something NOW, to change it and start doing something about it?

The first thing you need to do is move home. Get your butt back in there. After that, start snooping. Put a keylogger on the computer that she uses. That will get you info on her emails. Check her Facebook account for postings between them if she has one. Buy a VAR (voice-activated recorder) and put it in a hidden place in her car. Check her text messages and cell phone activity on the cell phone bill. Check any bank statements for unusual purchases. Check the car for any unusual items. I'm sorry to be blunt, but look for condoms/condom wrappers/soiled panties under the seats. Same goes for (sorry again) under the bed and in the bathroom wastebasket.

That should get you started.

And I've got to add, stev - this is war. You are in a war for your M. What I've told you to do may sound extreme. Trust me, it is not. You are not invading her privacy. You are invading her secrecy, which she has no right to have and withhold from you.

After you've confirmed the A, you need to be ready to expose it to the world at large - that's if you wish to kill the A, of course. I'm assuming you do. We'll help you with exposure after you've confirmed the A.

Do not tell her about this site. Do not threaten her by saying you're going to tell anyone about the A. It will drive the A underground and make it harder to kill. Come here first with your confirmation. This is critical.

Don't listen to anything she says. If she says the sun came up this morning, verify it. Waywards are notorious liars.

Consider hiring a private investigator.

Please listen! If you have any hope of saving this, please do what you are asked.

And one more please: get tested for STDs. Your regular doctor can do it; they have heard it all!
