Don't worry. You are not the only one where the wife treats you worse than dirt because they are cheating on you. Is your MC a christian based MC?
I wonder what the "turnaround" is, when your wife "treats you worse than dirt?".
I've seen these relationships before, and usually women who are this disallusioned, get worse over time, until they are in their 50's and they literally are a cackling witch. That if one of these did impart bad kharma onto your life, you are LUCKY that they got off of you and you got on in a position.
You should be lucky if one of these leave you my friend. Anyhow, I would at this point try to look for situations that are similar.
"Wife cheats on me. She's distant and abusive. She treats me 'worse than dirt'. The more I try and tell her I love her, the more she pulls away and the worse she treats me.".
You obviously need to find support and a life outside of her.
A woman like this is worse than a bad apple. Others who are on the fence will start more disrespectful behaviors over time and it can mess your entire life up.
