I'm only gonna touch on a few of these. You seem to handle smaller doses more than the longer ones.

I would advise you to take a look at this, and find a certain set amount that you are sending her. (Work this out with your attorney first)
I realize that it sounds harsh, although her new reality should not come "all expenses" paid. Let her work her own stuff within a budget, that includes what her "new" reality may look like.
Do you really want to finance her affair ???

Don't blame her for where you are in your life now. It will not serve either of you well to place every thing on her...
You played a part in this marriage too...
Right ??

Keeping track of every thing that you have given her, is controlling. It is scorekeeping, and it keep you from seeing the bigger picture of who you are at your core.
While it may not have been the reason, there were expectations of sex within those things.
