Hey Esquire,
Have you checked out the Mid Life Crisis board? I highly recommend it. Here's why:

Lack of sex and physical affection was the first symptom of my wife's MLC that I noticed. Unfortunately, I focused on the lack of sex, and failed to see the big picture. As a result, I spent a lot of time on this board and focused all my efforts on restoring our sex life. It didn't work...in fact...it made things worse in some ways.

Your wife is displaying all the classic signs of MLC. Dealing with MLC requires a bit of a different approach as opposed to SSM. In short:

GAL...good.
Falling on your sword in MC...yes, good.
Confronting her over anything, including an affair...very bad.
Snooping to find info with which to confront...horribly bad.

Anyway, I read your entire sitch, and the alarm bells were really going off. I would really encourage you to go over to the MLC board and read up.
