Oops,

We have a big saying around here. ACTIONS not words. She’s definitely not working on it and you can’t reconnect while she is opening up to another man.

If she wants space give her space! Give her more space then she will ever imagine. Right now the other dude is meeting her emotional needs while you are doing all the husbandly duties minus the sex. Not a good place to right now. How can we change the dynamics?

Are you currently in super husband mode and doing all the chores, cleaning shopping? If so this needs to stop.

This chump at work I assume is married with children?
