[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no advice - other than to say that wife's reaction, while understandably emotional, seems a bit of an overreaction.  Is the marriage overall a good one?  Is this really a one-off of flirting with an old flame during what is the toughest months of a marriage where spouses are, through no ones fault, neglecting each other?

If your wife has that thin of a hair trigger to divorce in a good marriage, it sounds like counselling is needed both for your actions and for her reaction.[/quote]

+1 Did she literally just find out? i agree that you were being a bonehead, but [b]I'm surprised her primary reaction is that she wants out. Obviously there were issues that pre-dated your flirtation.[/b][/quote]

This. There was something wrong under the surface before all of this. Maybe it is partly feeling overwhelmed by the child-rearing but clearly something was already off. Your wife needs to do her own introspection to find out what that was, perhaps with the help of a counselor. But if she thinks "getting out" is the answer, leaving her as a single parent with a toddler, she hasn't thought that through completely either....[/quote]
