Registered: 07/30/10 My wife of 16 years (we have two kids) went to see her mom who was dying and called to tell me that our marriage was over. After the initial shock, I found out that she had an EA with OM-not physical. She stated that she wanted to let me know before she was unfaithful. She sent me an email detailing how unhappy she was in the last few years of our marriage. I have felt very frustrated too because it seemed that we could never do anything together (like going away for the weekend) becasue of kids activities. I have tried to set it up with a family babysitter but she shot those attempts down. So now we are in couseling. She is having her relationship on her cell phone by constantly texting the OM. Is there hope for us or am I wasting my time with counseling?
