The trigger for what I think is a mid-life crisis here has been a financial situation that seems so uncertain for her. So today I proposed we buy a small fixer-upper with cash and rent out our home here (we are investors and have 12 rentals already, so it would be easy to do). Although this is probably against the rules, I wanted to see where things would go... the stress has been too much. Since this immediately addresses the crux of the stress, she was quick to start looking up properties on the MLS, and later told me that I brought her a sense of peace today with this plan. So all the talk is of our new house, our finances, doing the rehab, taking care of each other... but, this isn't stopping the incessant texting or her seeming hellbent intent to continue with this other woman - and I know the plan is for them to take it from emotional to physical after our son graduates from high school and moves out next month. What to make of this?
