[quote=Anonymous]Op here- I clarified it wasn’t me because I don’t have the wife’s story, only his. He has been mulling this for a while and seems unable to ask for a divorce or tell his wife he is unhappy. Yet he routinely goes on multi-day trips out with his mistress/partner, they are in constant contact throughout the day, calls, emails, etc. A small part of me wonders whether his wife actually knows and is playing dumb? How can someone be so oblivious?

For background, this is more complicated by the mistress has twins from her prior marriage, he has one daughter with wife so I have emphasized with him that the kids should come first...honestly I’m not sure what to tell him. I can see he is conflicted. His wife is great too, but he says life is too short to be unhappy? Now he is attempting to figure out how to end it and I have zero guidance...

Divorce coach? Walk out one day? Long conversation about mismatched life plans? Go on Appalachian trail trip?

If I was in his position I would slowly distance myself over a few months, ask for a separation, then ask for divorce.

If you were in the wife’s position, and you do not know about the affair, how would you like to be broken up with?[/quote]
