I never put her and the kids first. I always lumped them in with my family one big family. Boy was I wrong.
I can speak from experience and tell you that the MR has been seriously damaged due to you not putting her before your family. It's not the same (one big family) to her! Sometimes, a M doesn't survive when the W feels her in-laws came before her and her children. I'm sure that is one reason she wants you to stop working for/with the family business. She wants you independent of the one big family. I just hope it's not too late.

Here's your answer. This is why she's "uncomfortable" when you're around.

My therapist says I have a right to know and should ask. But I don't want to think of her with anyone else.
Don't bother asking. However, choosing not to deal with infidelity by sticking your head in the sand seems to come across as kind of weak, but maybe that's just me.
So what do you wish to accomplish and what are your goals?
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!
