I am not saying this to rebut any previous advice you've been given. I do not have the experience or knowledge to do that. I will say that there are some posters on this board, such as Allen A. who posts a lot in the infidelity section. I follow his line of thinking that it doesn't have to be "over".
From what I've read of your posts, I have two things I'd like to share with you that may make you want to do some thinking. Certainly it may be too late for you, only you can decide that. I would not let anyone else decide that for you. If that's where you are, then fine.
I see two things that your wife wants from her husband. This is from the outside looking in.
1) I'm going to guess that she was not fond of your difference in income.
2) It sounds like she is probably in pharm sales. This means as part of her corporate culture, she gets "motivated" to sell all the time. She is looking for a motivated husband.
The only place of credibility I am coming from here is that I'm in a mildly similar boat.
I have not read all your posts, but I do have this question. Have you ever sat down with your wife and discussed your income discrepancy DIRECTLY and found out how she truly feels about it?
I may be off base, but something to think about. I do believe that part of the reason that some wives walk away from their marriage is in this modern day the wife has the financial resources to actually do it.
