My wife has been having an EA for about 3 months. To make a long story short, I tried many things to make it work, but she continued the EA and I gave up. We'll be getting a D soon, and I'm moving back to my home state in a month.
The weird part is that she still hasn't admitted to herself that she's having an EA. I'm fine with this... her messed-up reality is part of why I had to leave. The problem is: what do I tell our mutual friends and her family? Do I expose what REALLY happened to them, or do I go along with her story of "needing to seek out what truly makes her happy, etc."?
I'm not interested in being vindictive about this... on the other hand, these people are rightfully confused about how our marriage could dissolve so quickly and dramatically, and part of me thinks they deserve an explanation.
