Frank-- not saying shes not being truthful......just please know they always say they are just friends......so they are just friends when it is way more.....Why they say that..like you said so they dont feel bad for what they are doing becuase their mind makes you the bad guy......then this new person is a friend.....bottom line its an affair...emotional first...then comes the pa....if it goes that far...
Urghhh the it must be an affair line...blech.... not true.
I will reitterate what I said to you yesterday Frank.
Nothing changes for you. You continue to be yourself and be real. The last thing she said to you is she doesnt want to be married anymore. You continue on your path of self exploration and don't worry about the rest of it.
Stay firm on the separation issues and do what needs to be done.
Keep it as simple as possible.
One more thing before I go though. Don't ask your D17 if friend was there or not, it puts her in a very awkward position. Yes, your wife is an idiot for telling D17 what you did, but you should not be asking her those questions Frank.
