She told me that I really need to talk with my W first.



this one needs to be addressed head on:

"Sister, I love you, and I love and respect your family. I have never lied to you, and I never will. As sad as it makes me to say this, I don't TRUST (Wife) right now, based on the decisions she's been making lately. I love her, and don't want to divorce, but I simply do not trust her in her current mindset, and I've had to take some steps to protect myself. I will always more than live up to my obligations with her, but I will also do what I have to do to protect myself. I hope you can understand, but if you don't, it doesn't change my resolve. "
