Like many say, I think she is unhappy with her life and takes it out on me. I know there are things I can do to show my appreciation more, etc, but it really goes both ways . I could never do enough and even though I support the entire family she never shows appreciation either of what I do for the family. We need to have more respect and gratitude for each other .


Last79,

Your wife is having an affair and she'll find any reason possible to make it your fault that she's having the affair. You can't expect her to change anything or show appreciation and respect. You just have to focus on yourself and your children as you move forward.



Yes! Doodler is right. Listen to him. My W keeps sucking me into irrational conversations but I am getting better at not accepting blame. We were talking about D and something was upsetting W and she started blaming me. I couldn't take it anymore and said calmly but firmly that if she is upset about the D then it is all on her. She is the only one who wants this and is pushing for it and that she has to bear the consequences of her actions. She stopped talking to me about that issue and we moved on to another topic.
