I think perhaps the biggest issue was more situational. Every morning he drove an hour north and I drove south. We put the kids ahead of our marriage and now I see how harmful that was to the relationship. The OW just swooped right in and I didn't have a chance to compete. Work slowed down and there she was feeding his ego while I was texting things like "Did you feed the dog?" I was naive and complacent.
