Think my wife is having an MLC, looking for help

As for my life and my interactions with other people, especially other women, I am gratified that so many people have been supportive of me and my struggle. I've had at least one person tell me that it's not fair that my wife cannot see the person I am (am becoming?). My response is that she is still mired in the past of an unfulfilling relationship. She doesn't want to believe that I can change, which is why I need to demonstrate that I have...
