    print up the emails!!!!

    First things first - if your wife hasn't deleted the emails (and they can prolly be retrieved) than print up the letters that prove she's had these affairs. That way, if you must divorce, you have the goods to make sure she gets nothing what so ever, including your daughter (at least here in NC). Secondly, who gives a crap if she denies the affairs. Toss her ass out. Get all her stuff, put it in garbage bags and put them outside the front door. If she wants back in, she must admit to the affairs, stop lying and go into some sort of counseling. Frankly I'm kind of shocked at anybody, male or female, who puts up withabuse and hateful words on a continuing basis. It sounds to me like the marriage is pretty much over, but I'd first give counseling or something a chance. Clearly your wife has had a list of unspoken grievences for a long time, maybe suffering in silence. I can see how if you've been a clod for 15 years a year or two of 'being better' doesn't exactly make up for it. So your choices are rebuilding a marriage or tearing it and your daughters life apart. I'd say give the rebuilding a shot, a serious shot. But print up the emails, make sure YOU hold all the cards, so if things don't work out you get what you deserve
