How are you for a support network? People you can talk to confidentially (and not report back to your wife).
I have my family, but the more it goes on the more I think they are pushing me to move on, or protect myself etc - they are just concerned for me and the kids. I have a good friend who I speak to, but again his attitude to things is 'don't put up with it, I wouldn't' - means well, but not hugely helpful. And then I have an old friend that is brilliant, his wife is a counselor so he knows a bit about this stuff, he has been married way before we did, and is very grounded. problem is I feel like I am always talking at him, so trying not to lean on him too much.

I feel like I'm in thick forest, I'm slowly drawing a map of the way out, but not sure yet which side of the forest I will emerge.
