Thank you Cadet, I am using the tools from the links you have provided.

Journaling:

These past couple months have been very hard. W continued to ask for a separation, but she began taking a more soft approach. She said there was no rush for either one of us to move out. We are cordial at the house, but it takes a great deal of patience for me to deal with some of the things she does. Some nights she is on her phone texting and messaging continuously for hours. She does this in front of me and after a while will make a comment about a girlfriend of hers to make it seem like that is who she is talking to. But every time I walk by her she immediately closes the message so I know she is talking to the OM.

She also spent the night “somewhere” over a few weekends. She is not the type to spend the night over at a girlfriend’s house so I know it’s with him. I am the mistake of confronting her about her weekend trips and she denied spending the night at OM but does not deny talking to him.

This has caused me to not want to be at the house. I began going to Happy Hours every night and tried to avoid coming home until after she was asleep. I know this is not the way to handle things, after 4 weeks of that I’ve settled into GAL with less alcohol. I am glad to have family and friends who are very supportive. Even her family supports me.

I guess it will get worse before it gets better.
