She didn't ask him to and I think she would be embarrassed to be seen with him by her peers who know me.
Why does she want you to go on the trip but does not want to be married to you?
We share an interest in the topics of the trip and have always worked together on trips like this.
Does she want you both?
No, she has made it clear to me that she has made a choice and it isn't me.
Are you comfortable being in an open marriage?
No.
Which calls to mind - now that she is living with someone else, has she filed for D?
No. One, she has no grounds based on her assessment of my performance as her husband and two, she has expressed that she does not want to make any decisions like that for a long time. Accounts are still joint, Beneficiaries are staying the same, we are both still paying the same bills we payed before. Btw, she makes about double what I do, so it isn't for her own financial benefit that she wants to wait.
