AAAAAAAH John Travolta and Saturday Night Fever Brings back memories.

Good for you Cl for holding your Ground and remaining in the bedroom but, you still should find your way to talk to your wife about her sleeping elsewhere. Or I wonder if you are able to get to a point where you feel comfortable with intimacy with your wife if the sleeping elsewhere would just stop.
I guess I am wondering if she is feeling rejected or undesired by you and is seeking affirmation that she is desirable somewhere else hence her secret phrase.

You don't get to choose how you're going to die. Or when, you can only decide how you're going to live now. ~Joan Baez
