I just don't get it, I stop paying attention or not taking calls and she goes ballistic - I am detaching. You would think she would be relieved if I did not call her or shower her with attention.
It's pretty typical for a wayward wife to want to keep her husband as her "Plan B" in case things don't work out with her OM1. Sometimes she'll turn to an OM2 and sometimes she'll begrudgingly come back to the marriage, but most women especially like to have some options.
