Thanks, DLS, Looking back, I really don't know. For one thing, I was unaware it was happening back then. Keep in mind that in my situation back then, five minutes (literally) before she walked out the door, I actually thought my marriage was just fine.
To my credit, I did "sense" that her going out with her buddies at night was "not good." When she first started working where she met these girls (2 sisters), she didn't like them at all, and some of the things she told me about them were pretty alarming. And it did surprise me when she started hanging out with them. I didn't think too much about it though, because I"knew" (yea right) my then wife was pretty level-headed.
I brought up those concerns only once, and she got quite defensive about it, so I left it alone after that. I suppose looking back, I should have been a bit pushier . . .so much for the "controlling guy" theory, and if anything, I'm even less so now. Go figure, eh?
But overall . . .I got nothin on what I might have done differently, with regard to that particular part of the problem anyway.

Life may be short, but . . . well . . . it actually IS short, now that I think about it . . . . particularly when compared to planetary formation and stuff.
