Greeneyedlass, honeypot, I only have a short window to answer you at this point, so I must be brief.
Counseling of any sort is not an option. As I stated upthread, we don't have the money to pay for it.
The skin thing may only partially be a smokescreen; she pointed out that, with the amount of damage to the skin on my hands, if I touched her while she had a yeast infection, for instance, I could catch it too. However, smokescreen or not, it would be well of me to carry on with her prescribed regimen for approximately a week, to establish my bona fides as far as making her comfortable is concerned, before pressing further. Perhaps that's when I bring up the "what did you mean by 'resolve your feelings'?" question.
I seriously doubt she's straying with another woman right now. Greeneyedlass, you say I should "do some checking." How would that work, exactly? Pore through her cellphone records? Install spyware on her computer? Or what? (Keep in mind our limited-to-nonexistent financial resources; see above.)
Again, apologies for the brevity of the reponse to your important messages.
