Telling you guys not to worry about the OM is easy.
You guys not worrying about the OM is hard, if not impossible.
Look these guys are bottom feeding opportunists. If your wives weren't having some sort of crisis there is little chance they'd give them the time of day. Each one of you has more character than all of your OM put together.
With that being said.
The OM is a bandaid, and a symptom.
I will also say this with 100% honesty, looking back with Time distant, I am glad she had an OM, because I know she compared him and me. I am glad that he was there to provide some comfort in her MLC, since in no way could that be me, despite me wanting to turn him into a pretzel at the time.

It has been strange the last week though. She comes home from work and you would think there is nothing wrong in our M. She acts happy to see me. She wants to talk to me. She is happy to see the kids and asks about their day. She almost acts like her old self, but then...
Ignoring the BUT part.
You have this fantastic opportunity to show her...not tell her...just how awesome you are.
Oh and likely ANY positive changes you make she will likely complain about...ignore or validate but don't stop. She isn't the only one that can re-evaluate their life and make changes.
Use this time to shine.
