It must have been quite a surprise to discover after all those years that your job upsets your wife. Don't know if you can believe a thing she says now, but if you do, at least you're gathering intelligence. Beats not knowing.
RobX' approach is impressive. Are you considering giving it a shot?

It was quite a surprise as she used to work with me doing the same stuff (pre-kids). It seems to be her anxiety over protecting them and in hindsight she has said similar things before. I just didn't register how much it concerned her.
I like the Robx attitude but at the moment my W is 100% wanting D (in both words and actions) so saying anything wouldn't have much affect. There is a trust issue to overcome first and she would need to face her own feelings of guilt. I haven't yet thought of a way to make this easier.
Vanilla, thank you. its good to have both advice and a cheer team. Im (semi) confident that I can turn me around even if it doesn't save my M.
