My wife told me that she is not happy and needs "space" to have an affair. What should I do?

There follows a question where the roles are reversed a bit.

Its funny that the majority of answers here say leave her and do not attack her.
Yet when the situation is switched up I take a number of hits regarding my personality when the shoe is on the other foot.

Woah...

Perhaps you should tell her you need space to have a divorce.


redpeach_mi
you let her have all the space she needs and run to the nearest lawyer's office. i have heard of needing space, sometimes it helps people, but never space to have an affair. why would she even need space to have an affair, she could just do it anyway.

Did she really tell you that she needed space to have an affair? I find that hard to believe. If she did you need to run the other way. You don't want to be home when she comes back with no telling what!!!!!!! Good luck!

You do not mention how long you have been married, whether or not that you have children, or whether or not you still love her. The first and most obvious answer is divorce. I'm sorry, I used to be one of these people at one time. That is the easy way out. The 3 questions that I have related to you need to be taken into consideration before you run off to see a lawyer. What do you have to lose and what to you have to gain? Unfortunately, the statistics of infidelity is so high, if you leave her, your chances of having another marriage or relationship without cheating are very limited.

In a way, I respect her ability to be honest with you. Honesty is a must in any relationship and it will not survive without it. I only wish my husband was as forth coming as your wife. She is saying, we have a problem in our marraige. Try to convince her to attend marital counseling with you and if not go by yourself. Hopefully, if this affair has not started, you may be able to intercept it and work on your relationship. Dear Abby's final question in response of this sorts is, "Are you better off with or without her?" If she is not willing to join you to work on the marriage, you are pretty much doomed, but in any event, please get counseling. You will need this along with many self help books available at Amazon to get your heart to heal through this ordeal. Believe me, been there, done that, and got the t-shirt. It is a horrible experience that I would not wish on anyone. You can do this! Love & Prayers.

Needs space to have an affair... Uh leave her?

Well, I would suggest marriage counseling, to deal with the "not happy" part, and to help the two of you figure out whether her unhappiness is something that can be addressed within the marriage. She won't find that an affair solves whatever the root problem is between the two of you.

Some couples do choose polyamory as a lifestyle, and you two can figure out whether that is for you. But in general it is better to approach that from a standpoint of the core relationship being solid between you and her.

Thats a very convienient way to ask for a divorce...drop her like a bad habbit..

Uhhhhhh She actually said " needs space to have an affair" ? Is that not clear enough ? She is going to have an affair so you either talk to her and work through your problems together, accept the affair, or move on .... If you don't respect yourself enough to know that you deserve better then how is anyone else going to respect you ?


Terri S
let her have thee affair and get an laywer. you are going to need one.

By the time a marriage gets to this point, it is over. See a divorce lawyer. The sooner you're out, the better. I'd guess you are "not happy" as well.

Show her the door and tell her not to let the door hit her in the @ss on the way out! Go to a lawyer and start proceedings.

She needs space to have an affair?
That doesn't sound like a woman who loves you.

Anyway, before you decide to do anything hasty, go see a marriage councelor.


ksgirl
Ask her if she needs space or a divorce...needing space and having an affair is entirely two different things. Don't budge on this one...make her choose!!!


EJ
Uhhhhhhhhh......
Delete this question and dump her now.


marym
Get out now-could you actually go on after this?No way!
