classic case
      #211034 - 03/16/07 06:38 PM

Ok, so here's the classic story. My wife and I have been married for 5 1/2 yrs, we have two children, a 5 yr old and an 11 yr old from her previous relationship. I married my British wife overseas, and brought her back with me to the states where we have lived for about 1 1/2 yrs. My wife started telling me about a yr ago that I wasn't paying enough attention to her. So I try for a couple of weeks, but slip into old habits. Last week I find out she's had an affair with the neighbor. If not paying attention to her wasn't stupid enough, check out how dumb I was with this. About 5 months ago, she met a freind(woman) who she began spending alot of time with. I thought this was great since she had no freinds since moving to the states. This other woman has a husband who decided to end it with her, but they are still living together till the summer when she'll move back to florida. So my wife is going over her house having fun, drinking, and generally seemed to be in better spirits. Over time, she began to stay late (5am!!!!!). Although I questioned it, she said they were all up drinking and talking. Earlier this week, she comes home and tells me she's been sleeping with her friends husband after her friend goes to sleep upstairs. I go nuts, go looking for the guy, he takes off before I get there. I come home and vent some anger at her. Eventually, I cool off and ask her what she wants to happen. She says she wants to find herself, get over her depression she's dealing with, and that she made a mistake and fell for the attention this guy was giving her. I want to make this work and now realize that I have to change to keep the woman I love. I'd like to think I'm strong enough to get over the pain and hurt she's given me, but at the same time she is unsure of whether or not we would fall back into the same old habits. All I ask is that she gives me 100% towards our relationship, and I promise the same. My question is am I just being a fool again? Also, since she suffers with depression should I allow more time for her to figure herself out before she directs her full effort towards us?
