Unfortunately I think they both want this to be more than an affair. I think they are both making plans to see if they can make it work financially. They seem to think they had some great love 17 years ago that a misunderstanding ended and that now they have a second chance. But this guy earns next to nothing and they will struggle. I think my wife realises she will never have the quality of life she has with me. At the moment I am a convenient cash machine (but not much else) to her.

My main concern is to minimise the impact on the kids. As much as I would like to pack her bags and throw her out I also need to keep life moving forward so as not too traumatise my children.

But I do need to see a lawyer - and very soon.
