Getting out of the house while she's home means giving up time with my daughters, so it's tough to stay out of her hair.
Also, I wonder if she's having an EA with a coworker.
The OM is in a longterm relationship,
and will be moving out of state in the next couple of weeks with his GF. My W frequently cooks food and takes it to work to share with him; she also talks about him a lot,
though she talks about a lot of her coworkers too. She doesn't have much time for any type of hookup, though she is working out in the mornings around 5AM at the Y. So that could just be a cover; I'll have to do some detective work to see if she's really going there or having a rendezvous.
If she's interested in this other guy, that's the beginning of the EA right there.
Look at the points I've highlighted above: - she's interested in a guy at her work - this is very common when it comes to affairs, someone she is in regular contact with, they become friendly, the personal/work borders get blurred - she shares food with him, think about that very gesture itself, you don't share food with just anyone, you don't cook just for anyone (not usually at any rate), she's bringing food to work for him, that's a very caring and intimate gesture, when is the last time she cooked food and brought it to you at your workplace? - the other guy, possibly a supervisor or manager at her work (doesn't have to be but I wouldn't be surprised if he was), being in a position of authority would just be another attraction trigger for her - he's in a relationship with another woman, forbidden fruit, something she can't have but something she wants (she doesn't want what she DOES have) - she talks about him a lot to you, she's interested enough in him to actually be ballsy enough to talk about him openly to you
And you say she doesn't have time to hook up with him or any other man. That's because you can't think about what's required for her to do this. It's always possible for something to happen at work, coffee/lunch breaks, personal meetings, etc. etc.
