I spoke to my wife and kids every day, sometimes for 10 minutes, sometimes for 60. No, never had to have a woman around. My wife saw a text while I was back home and then I believe she hired a PI who saw my friend and I walking down the side-walk. She called my friend and spoke to her. I then received an email informing me the marriage was over and a second one from her lawyer. I have not had any contact with my friend since, and have done a great deal of soul searching, counseling and prayer. I have been home once and things were good but my wife does not want to try or let me try. She's hired a litigating law firm but says she wants mediation. I am finally awake to how I have been and what it was like to be married to me but I am almost 100% convinced it is too late. I am holding on to hope.
