My wife was having an emotional affair for years behind my back

I cannot believe the depth of her deception, and I want to punch this guy!

    It's familiar

    Dear LW, If you were single and someone asked you what you were looking for in a marriage partner, would you list the following qualities? Someone who is:

    1. Manipulative

    2. Deceptive

    3. A liar

    4. And someone who asks for a divorce every few years

    If I were you, I would use your connections to find a good therapist, and look at your relationship with your parents when you were growing up. You are reenacting something that is very sick, but is obviously very familiar to you.

    I don't buy Cary's sentiments about this being the madness of "love." This is just madness; this is not love. If you didn't have love growing up, then you probably don't know what it is. Get a therapist to help you learn about love. Best of luck to you both.
