Personal friends have called asking if she has a brain tumor because this is not the person they know.
How is her overall mental/emotional health? Any emotional traumas, especially during childhood? Any anxiety disorders?
No singular event leaps out. She is youngest of three daughters. All are attractive now but my WW was a late bloomer and definitely got no attention in high school. Only when she got to college did she become "something" and even then she was tied to one guy all through college even though he cheated on her. My WW failed at all the high school teams like cheerleading and drill team that her sisters excelled at. So she instead chose to work after school beginning very young. She has a strong work ethic and is a classic workaholic. WW's father had an affair when she was a young child but the marriage survived and the children never knew about the affair until they were older. WW's mother is dominant in that marriage. WW is a daddy's girl for sure. They are a unique mixture of religious but fun (they drink a lot) and the daughters are all people pleasers. For the first time, WW now claims her parents left her alone all the time (which they say is incorrect) as a teen and she was lonely. I'd say WW never got a chance to be wild and maybe she is just acting out but its not like she is chasing a bunch of guys or going out to bars for attention. She is locked in on this one guy. It's amazing how just a month and half ago she couldn't imagine life without me and her latest email to me was like we were finalizing a business deal - very cold. She claims now she was suppressing emotions during our marriage to please others but even her mom said there was nothing fake about her happiness. I really believe she was genuinely happy up until just before she met OM when maybe she was getting bored with the routine of life and me being gone more.
