Just had to stop by for a second. I have followed your sitch for quite a while, but when I saw that you got the in-laws involved, I figured I would comment just a little.
It wasn't until I exposed to my in-laws that things changed in my sitch. They found out that their daughter wasn't being totally honest with them. I also told them that I loved their daughter and wanted nothing but the best for her. I said that of course I had made mistakes and wasn't perfect. But, I had never cheated on her like she said, and I didn't stay out drinking all hours of the night after work like she said. They were very supportive and wanted us to work things out. They also assured me that she was not welcome in their home if she decided to leave. It seems like it may have been a turning point in my sitch. She has agreed to go to MC, so it's a step in the right direction.

In a way, I think I wanted to show them that I will not be shut out and forgotten and that this is how a husband and father acts to protect his family.
Me too. I guess this is all I'm trying to say. They will respect that and so should your wife.
Anyway, you have been here a lot longer than me and are handling yourself well. You have hung on longer than I think I could. Continued luck to you.
