New and Needing Advice (Long)

[Steve McQueen]

About a year ago, she started talking to an ex online We're in TX and he's in CA), sending topless pics,

Well, last week, I could tell that her attitude had changed. She was distant and distracted. Then, out of nowhere, she says that she's not sure about us still. That she needed to think about things. That something's still missing. Well, it turns out that she's found another guy online to occupy her time. Yes, it is sexual in nature. She didn't leave the house, just stayed in another bedroom. I was so shocked by what had just happened, that I did lots of stupid things. I confronted her, told her that it had to stop, that she couldn't possibly make a decision like us splitting up while she was wrapped up in a fantasy online. And just to state the facts, when I have snooped on her, I learned that she makes up lots of things about herself, sends them very specific photos, that show off her better assets.

Last night when she was talking and laughing so loud to make sure I heard her, I just went to the bedroom and turned on some music. Not blaring it or anything, just enough to drown it out. I probably should have told her that if she wanted to continue talking to him, take it outside. If it becomes an issue again, that is exactly what I plan on saying. Of course, I have to figure out some sort of consequence if she refuses, without being over the top.

Any advice?
