Your marriage and family is really battling with the value you place in being a cardiac surgeon, isn't it?
I guess we all just can't understand because we are not cardiac surgeons...
I think you should pull the plug and cut your losses. This woman is sucking you dry, screwing with your mind, and all the while you have clear cut evidence that right after every nice thing she teases you with, she runs off to boff her boyfriend.
Who wouldn't pull the plug on that?
Psychic abilities must come with that medical degree.
I hope you're catching the sarcasm.
I don't suppose that's helpful though, so let me cease and desist.
Brad, you're going thru a rough time, I get that. Bottom line for me in these dying marriage situations is, how much do you love your wife? How much are you willing to sacrifice if there is even a sliver of a chance at making things right?
And by the way, I call bullshit on "I'll never be able to trust her again." Every one of us on here could say that, and probably did in our first couple days.
If you don't want it, stop jumping through hoops.
On the other hand, if you love your wife, your marriage and your family unit, quit pissing and moaning about how hard it is and suck it up like a man.
