How is it lying? What did I suggest you say that is untrue? She did serve you with divorce papers, right? And you clearly need to distance yourself from her for your mental health. There is no lying there. You can't force her to leave, so you need to. The fact that she is not paid and you are does not mean you can control her.

This makes no sense. You said yourself that she is the one pursuing him. And he's resisted so far, so he's clearly not the initiator. Why would it be a big deal for someone in an organization to be romantically involved with a volunteer? Even someone high up? He's not her boss, and he's not using his position to intimidate her into something she doesn't want. I get that you still see her as your wife, but you live separately and divorce papers have been filed. I don't see the scandal, if they do get involved.

It sure sounds like you are looking to take this guy down, because your wife wants him.
