I posted this under the MLC board originally but it might be more appropriate here. My wife has all the symptoms of MLC and we are currently coming to the end of the D proceedings. She initiated the D.

I just found out that the affair partner is someone in her company who works in an office across the country. They met during various company functions. I know this guy and I've actually had the chance to go to dinner with him and drink a few beers on another occasion. He is a nice guy, ex football player, good personality and sort of a "good time charlie". He is not anything close to "intellectual" and cheated on his last girlfriend. He has been known to drink and grope women. (I've seen him do it).

The part that blew me away was that he is 69 years old. My W is 45 yrs old. My W's father is 69 years old and terminally ill. I just have to wonder if there is a connection here.

They have been seeing eachother for about 6 months.

Thoughts?
