Hey jac....sorry this is happening, just crazy that all the sitches here can be so very similar. My W was also sexually abused in HS and now 47 had repressed the pain all her life and never addressed. In the last year through soul searching she was tired of being a victim in her head all of her life and decided she was a survivor.
This led to the last 7-8 months of her having an affair and living a Girls Gone Wild lifestyle, including neglecting our sons one 22 the other 14. It's like she decided that she had been holding back all of her life because of the abuse and wants to relive her younger single days
Yeah she seems intent on living her younger days again - the people she is hanging around with from work are all mid-20s. I recognize that she is going through a tough time herself so I'm using the Alien abduction analogy to help me get through.
And I'm certain that she has lost some respect for me over the past year and I need to step up more and earn that back if she's going to see me the way she used to see me.
