I'm married, married people don't go out on dates.
But if your W is having an affair maybe the feelings you are having now give you some insight into what she was feeling when she was "just going out with a male friend", or seeking the company of a male friend or whatever her reasons were.
I don't see how you save a marriage by inviting other people into it.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
