She knows.

Life isn't fair. Maybe you failed. So what. All successful people have a graveyard of failure behind them, that's how they learned. Are you learning or hanging out in the graveyard?

R2C's advice about channeling that anger is beautiful. The bright side of your sitch is that you can totally change and become a better person here.

Your W is wayward. Did this happen out of the blue or did she find this OM to get certain needs met? What needs were you not fulfilling? None of this excuses her behavior. She was and is a willing participant in an abhorrent act. Don't let this slide, but don't focus on this either.

I notice you mentioned a phone addiction. I was addicted to my phone for a while. It's unattractive, wasteful, antisocial, etc.. Has this changed?

It is not things that bother us, but the stories we tell ourselves about things.
