I'm sorry Tg. This is a tough, yucky thing. Do you think your wife was telling you in the hope that you would ask her not to go? I mean, she has been asking you questions about whether or not you're spending time w/ other women.
Your wife sounds like she's going through a pretty big crisis in her life right now (FIL's illness - which is a horrible thing to go through, seperation from H and children, new job, living in the middle of nowhere, etc.) This is all huge downer stuff. Anyway, could you manage to keep your interactions with her light and humorous? Would that be a 180?
I wish I could offer better advice than "try not to think about it". Just know I feel for you and the whole board is here for you.
