Has anyone else here had to deal with infidelity after becoming sick or injured? That alone has been so hard to deal with and now I've had to cope with my wife cheating on me with her coworker. I've tried to salvage our marriage for our household; but, she seems to be slipping away again.

Dave, I am so sorry you are going through this. Some people are just not able to pull up their boot straps and do the right thing when times get rough. I imagine it feels like a double betrayal since you have been ill. Above everything else, you need to take care of yourself. I know for me, being in a relationship where I don't feel loved and respected pulls me down into really deep depression and anxiety. Don't fight harder than the other person to make things right. It is up to her to repair the breach in your marriage. If she is not willing or able, you need to take care of yourself. You are valuable and you matter.

The killing her with kindness seems to work. Having a baby and no other support system I cannot afford to separate.

Not what you're looking for?
