I am having these same issues myself right now. At what point do I say enough is enough and I start to take some of this power back.

What also hurts is that they take you for an idiot, he says she hasn't emailed him,(he has email I don't know of) but you can't tell me that she hasn't when she thinks they have a relationship, why do they insist on taking you for a fool?
I know. I know. I have come to really think that there is another person. I cannot explain her behavior in any other way. What you need to do for yourself is to make sure you are not taking more than you should. Your goals are noble (keep relationship and family together) but if there is a point where you feel like he does not respect you, then you have a decision to make. No relationship is going to be successful where one spouse does not respect the other. That relationship is doomed from that point on. It's only hope of being saved is when the "weaker" spouse begins to earn back some of the respect. Just my opinion on this whole doormat issue.
