I’m sorry that you are going through this pain. Reading your posts brought me back to my beginnings in this crazy thing called MLC. I’m not how this will end, the only thing that may help you is for you to know that you are not responsible for your wife’s unhappiness , you are not.
Work on your self, made out this situation a lesson ( I know that it’s hard) give your love but don’t lose yourself trying to “reason “ with her, you are the enemy right now. You have to detach, you must to allow her figure it out what she wants. Love is never wrong, what is wrong is allowing someone to treat you poorly.
Your wife is somewhere inside this person that you don’t recognized right know.
Cheating and affairs are possible, you must be prepared.
Take control of your finances, don’t allow her MLC ruins you. Detach, detach, detach, as painful as it is is the only way to maybe make a way back.
My marriage of 27 years is crumbling down in front of my eyes, I’m still in love with the person I used to know, this new version is a despicable replica.
You are the “sane “ parent now, she loves her kids but for now you are it.
A big hug.
