Do you believe it is appropriate for a M woman to have private conversations with the opposite sex? Do you have friendships with women that exclude your W? Do you chat with women over the Internet? This will help me to understand your stitch better.
Do your children know that she's conducting all these conversations with another man?
I understand when you say that she is going to do whatever she wants and that you can't stop her. But let me say this....a family needs a leader. Your children needs a daddy who shows them what strength and honor looks like. They need to see how a M deals with R problems and comes out good b/c the couple dealt with it the right way and b/c love was the bottom line. So remember that you are a role model at all times, okay?
I believe a man should be respected, especially in his own home. Children have to be taught to respect. But I think with adults, we have to win their respect. With a spouse, it may take a dose of tough love, or it may take standing tall on one's values by simply living it. But as a woman, and one who was a WAW, I will tell you that I strongly believe that a woman has to respect the man she loves.
So, as a father and husband you have a lot of responsibility. This family and marriage are worth more than all the gold in the world. Treasure it and fight for it.

It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
