I get the alpha male thing...and Maximus, it looks like you are in a very similar scenario.
Here are the facts that influence my actions: -wife has been in EA with BIL for 5+ years, no PA -wife had PA with OM...looks dead now -wife believes I verbally abused her in the past (see next) -I was hard to live with due to psychological disorder (OCD)...95 percent better now -wife tells me she expects me to leave at some point and does not care -I do not want to split time with kids or lose house -wife does not want to split time with kids or divorce for this reason -my sister knows what is going on and has set some boundaries on my wifes interactions with my BIL -no amount of separation between my W and BIL will keep them from talking to each other...sister will not force BIL to show her phone records. -I do not want to pay for my W grad school that she started after declaring our marriage dissolved -wife hides our problems from everyone and puts on a happy couple face
I do not want to move out...I am told this could have negative ramifications should we divorce. I DO want my wife to feel loss by not attending family functions. I DO wish there was a way to force my wife to leave our house.
I was told by DB coaches to NOT inform my family or involve them...including my sister. The only way to exclude my W from family events is to tell my family.
