Wife gets home and tells me she is moving out August 15th. Caught me by big surprise and I freaking BLEW my FIRST reaction.
#$%^##$#$. #$#$%$%$%$%#> FREAK.
Hey, it happens - no matter how much you plan and sleuth, you can still be blindsided.
I know this is your life and it's not a lot of fun for you right now, but I have to confess that I'm REALLY liking this new and improved, take-charge, advice-dispensing, action-taking QS you've suddenly morphed into this last week. Watching you plan and collect data is fascinating - not to mention TOTALLY hot! It's like watching a non-formula action movie that I can't guess the ending to! I'm thinking you've got a Jason Bourne-like script (or 3) in you based on your intel gathering and military knowledge.
Does your wife even KNOW this QS?
Because -dude!- if she did, the ONLY way she'd be running around on you is if she had a lobotomy! Seriously! I can think of AT LEAST 100 women I know who would be totally hooked on your IT know-how and military knowledge alone. And remember, I have no idea what you look like.

Women ADORE take-charge guys. We like our space, we like handling our own money and making our own decisions, but at the end of the day, we'll serve you as the king in your castle IF you PROVE you're a leader worth following. Be firm, consistent, strong, and fair, and we'll follow you ANYWHERE. Lie, play tricks or roll over and play dead, and we are SO outta there. We want a man who will guard the castle gate and protect us on his own initiative, not another nose to wipe or kid to pick up after.
That said, I'm thinking FB guy #5 should be James Bond-like - CIA or FBI or military intelligence or something, a totally stressed out spy guy who's just looking for some down time with a pretty girl. Roll your eyes all you like, but you'll be able to EASILY reel her in with mystery and intrigue. Give her a glimpse into a life she only sees in the movies and every other guy she's working right now will drop off her radar ASAP. Hell, she'll even go to work and think about you all day. I know I would!
Uh-oh..."trade secrets" as Allen would call them, glimpses into the female mind. But you could save this situation yet.
Your WAW thinks she leaving a highly emotional, pushover doormat. Show her a leader and military stud and she'll be regreting that year-long lease in a heartbeat. Plan to meet her at some clandestine location...and you could both save your marriage AND have the best makeup sex EVER!
Be a take-charge leader, QS. It's what your mixed up, WAW needs right now (IMHO).
