Long time! Thought I'd stop in and check up on you. And I hate to say it but not surprised by anything I have read. You and your wife clearly cannot leave the other alone.
I'll add my input. Not sure if you will really even try to listen bc I honestly don't think you will leave her alone anyways. Lol. But here goes. I find it a crazy coincidence that your wife starts telling you her sexual needs within a few weeks of hearing that you have been dating another woman. But, that was your goal, wasn't it Did? You keep pointing out all of her quirks and odditys but I'm inclined to think that you are a little more focused on getting in bed with her than you let on. In almost all of your post you mention your sex life or lack there of with her. And when you would get really upset you mention dating another woman. I'm not blaming you bcyou had went on for a while without. It's just something that I noticed. The reason I say this is bc I have an idea your wife knows your sexual appetite. She knows that is why you were with this other woman. It only took one time with your wife and you started saying that the other woman did not have the same spark with you.
You tend to over analyze everything she says and want to talk about the relationships every week. I don't blame her for being annoyed. Who wants to talk about that EVERY SINGLE WEEK?!?! Good grief man!
A lot of people have commented about you still giving her support. I suspect that you will continue and I'm prolly the only person on here who thinks the money is irrelevant at this point. I guess in one way it isn't. They say that is her motive and that if you don't she will be pissed. But, let's be honest, why wouldn't she be and rightfully so. You have agreed to it. I don't know, to me if a couple months of support would save your marriage it's worth it. But maybe they are right who knows.
I'm really thinking that you and her are still more involved with each other than you both met on. You guys are basically in each other's lives daily. Way more than most on here. So I'd imagine you two will eventually come back together.
