I know this is an old post, but the OP's description of his wife makes me think she has ADHD. The big events, the hyper focus, the new addictions... all scream ADHD. It doesn't mean she isn't having an affair, though...

It doesn't mean she isn't having an affair, though... This is why it is important to investigate rather than make guesses. You don't know what the facts are until you look into it. The red flags for an affair are pretty classic and, unfortunately, we are almost always right. I don't know of a single case where there were red flags were present when it was actually ADHD.

I do find it interesting that when objective observers point out the most likely basis for your marriage problem, you get angry and reject it. You don't want to hear the most obvious and glaring source of your problem because you aren't really looking for solutions, you are looking for validation for your conflict avoidance.
