OP you sound incredibly beta and passive. That would be a major turnoff to any woman. Have you asked her how she feels about you?[/quote]

OP here.

I think it comes across that way, because I'm a tad bit depressed due to the circumstances. I will concede that I make it a point to be more "accommodating" in my marriage than the stereotypical man would be. It's not due to weakness, low self esteem or even fear of her leaving. I just grew up with an asshole for a father who treated me like gold but all of the women in his life like crap. He openly cheated, beat up his wife and made it his point to try and teach me how to "handle" women.

It is possible that my staying at home with our daughter, handling the day to day affairs around the house, and assuming the role of "nagging spouse" to remind her to put her work projects down and focus on our daughter in the evening might have caused me to become unattractive to her these past few years, but I wouldn't change a thing. I know what I'm worth and this board is filled with women who wish their husbands would do a third of the things that I do freely and willingly. If she can't respect and appreciate that, and if she isn't mature enough to talk to me about it rather than lying to my face and carrying on an affair with a guy who couldn't even be my understudy, then that shows me what she's worth and it isn't much.

I'm hurt, but I'll get over it and I will eventually find someone who likes "betas," [b]IF[/b] that's what I am. [/quote]
