Alk, emotionally healthy relationships aren't that fragile. And true VOWS aren't that breakable. If the lack of responding to a couple of (even if you assume they are) heartfelt and sincere texts is the reason your wife would end the marriage, then how healthy was the marital dynamic that exists in her mind and her heart?
There have been some excellent articles written about the whole "princess mentality" and how UNHEALTHY it is, for BOTH the man AND the woman. Great fodder for a thread here someday, I think.

I completely agree with you Starsky. Although clearly at this stage, an emotionally healthy relationship is impossible.
I know that these were just words she threw at me... Justifications for her actions... Reasons to be p!ssed at me so she could continue with OM... I KNOW that she knows me well enough to know that my lack of response tore me up inside... Hell, she told me she had a hard time telling me things sometimes because she didn't want to hurt my feelings and have me get over-emotional.
But despite that knowledge, despite the "Believe none of what she says" mantra that I keep repeating... I can't help but examine those words to see if there's truth there or if it's truly just noise.
