Did these problems begin after your W became involved in theater?
I honestly don't know. Last night she said she shouldn't have taken a promotion 3 years ago, because that is when she started drifting away. I also got a promotion at the same time and I was very stressed with the new job. This was shortly after the birth of our second child (who is now 3). Theater definitely made things worst. It seems like a lot of people who are heavily involved are escaping reality. I didn't see it happen 3 years ago, but more of her drifting away by spending so much time away with theater. However, I suppose she knows what really happened much more than me.
What are the ages of you, wife, and kids? Does she work at anything other than theater?
I am 40, my wife is 34, and our children are 15 and 3. She is a teacher, so she gets a little bit unhinged during the summer.
I will add that she has bipolar disorder, which can make things confusing on my end. Her mood has been unstable since I've known her, so I can't easily spot a sudden change of behavior.
Why does your W have so much anger toward you? You admitted to yelling and name calling. Is that you being aggressive or defensive?
I don't know why she has anger toward me. My yelling and name calling was usually defensive. There has been no unfaithfulness on my part and I've not been abusive toward her. It may just stem from her inner conflict of living a secret life.
