Yeah I have a better way to reword it...don't say anything at all.

It's not putting pressure on her. It's making you sound like a wuss and a child to put it mildly. Just a 2x4.

I understand your need to get things out there, but telling your W isn't the way to do it. Think about it this way...if there were a woman that was interested in you and all she did was talk about how her health was deteriorating because of her love for you, would that make you want to go out with her or move away from her?

First things first. You've got to break this codependency you have with her. You don't need her to live a healthy life. Sure it's not ideal, but you don't need her. You didn't need her before you got married right? You have to get that back.

What is it about the OM that she is attracted to? Not saying you have to be like him, but you want to outdo him. You're already the better man for standing for your M. Now it's time for you to bring that to the surface.

Release the fear you have about your W and what her reaction or non-reaction will be. Start being the man instead of acting like it.
