okay, this make more sense. You're confirming and should help you with your recovery.

I think it sounds like you're handling the situation very well.

Thanks. I'm doing my best, but frankly I'm feeling like I'm being continually beaten around the head. I don't sleep well, and I can't focus on anything else. I hate being obsessive

See a medical doctor for some meds. A lot of posters here swear by them.

The truth is she slept with him. In your thread titled “Melting Down : Please help” you wrote:

She has so much feelings for this guy that she will not commit to your marriage and you saw them sneak off to go make out. What on earth do you think she did when she slept in his room when she had her own room to sleep in? As evidence goes, the fact that it is confirmed that she spent the night with him is pretty much as good as it can usually get to prove that she had sex with him. I guess better proof would be you could have been in their room to watch them have sex, but that does not usually happen. If the truth is important to you she needs to take responsibility for sleeping with him.

Since my last post I have taken a slightly different tack I thought I would share with you. I have said to her I am going to give her until Christmas to fully commit to the marriage. That will give us six weeks of counselling, and whatever time she needs. I have told her that by then either we have a new start underway or I make a new start on my own. I have told her I will be moving out on the 1st January if we have not made progress, as I will not be a lap dog for her whilst she sorts herself out. this is not a threat, I have already organised accommodation for myself should it come to it, and told her she has no right to know where I am going if I go.

I have also decided that I need to know the truth of whether she is contacting the OM still. So I have installed a micro VAR under the dashboard of her car, which she sits in all day making phone calls. I'll give it a few days, and then I will know the truth one way or the other.

She has picked up today a little - bringing home dinner, and suggesting we go for a walk together this evening, rearranging some work dates so we can spend more time together. I see hope, even if the cynic in me is waiting for another crushing blow. She definitely has feelings for the OM, and is fully prepared to admit it, and that she misses him. I see this as natural.

I cannot imagine how painful it must be to realize that your wife prefers this guy to you, and pines for him. That must really suck, badly. Sorry she has done this to you.

Looks like a cake eater. Of course she's playing nicey right now. Gotta protect the finances, so she's being nice and laying low. The VAR may already be picking up something.
