This is my first post.

I need some advice please!

My wife is contacting her ex-boyfriend. It is such a shock that I don?t know how to confront her over it. I don?t even know what the reason for her contacting him is, so I certainly don?t want to start with lots of accusations.

Some facts:

We have been married for 16 years.
About 5 years ago we separated after she wanted to re-evaluate her life. I didn?t want to separate. She went did a degree in that time.
About 3 years ago we got back together.
Since then she has been seriously ill and off work.
I work full time.
She has been getting much better recently.
She did not log out of her email account recently and there were emails to him on the computer. It is general chitchat, talking about old times etc.
However, I have noticed that she never leaves her handbag alone in a room anymore and her phone is always in her bag. It never used to be password protected (we have always all used the nearest phone to make calls) and it is password protected now.
We have two kids at secondary school.

I don?t think anything is going on ? I hope so anyway! What do I do now without ruining the relationship ? we have never had secrets before.

Thanks.

All a bit of a shock really.

She has been to a solicitors already and is demanding pretty much everything on the basis that she doesn't earn and I do. Plus maintenance!

Didn't remember the sofa being so uncomfortable! :-)

Will book a day of work in the week and find a solicitor.

Jeez!!!! She has the cheek to ask for maintenance?!!! I'd say that would be loverboy's department now not yours but then the law is an ass.... What a nasty lady to use you like this. Sorry to hear this MKT

You'd think!

She has clearly been thinking about this for some time and the solicitors letter is pretty clear. I have gone through the calculations and they seem right. How to lose a live times of saving in a single letter and be without the ability to enjoy life financially again!

Suppose I need to take the blame because I was so oblivious to it all!

Oh you poor thing.
I don't know what legally you can do.
Hope you can get a decent solicitor.
Good luck.
