There are times when you definately need to get away and take your mind off of things. The issue regarding what people say that your wife has said or hasn't said, take everything with a grain of salt. People have all sorts of motives. Some support you, some support your wife and there are those who just love to see other people's misery. The fact of the matter unless someone you completely trusts tells you something or you see it or hear it yourself I would take everything with a grain of salt.
