After five years we decided to have a child and she was pregnant soon after, my life up to that point was pretty much work and then go home to her, since I had moved here from another country I had left many of friends behind and it was a little hard to make new friendships here, especially after I married her, she was beautiful and fun for the most part and I was ok not having many friends as long as I had her, when she got pregnant she quit her job and stayed home, I am not an educated man and I had to work very hard to scratch out a living, soon after we married she became very needy of my attention and I was happy to give it her, while pregnant she became even more needy and I started to feel the pressure she put on me all the time, every little thing I did wrong could turn into a river of tears coming from her, it could be something as little as me forgetting to get her drink when we sat down to eat dinner, she has always been very attentive to me, but she always expected the same back, on the surface it seems rational for her to want as much attention as she gave me, however when I failed to do the little things it was almost catastrophic, I had to apologize over and over while she question my commitment and my love for her, sometimes we would talk for hours with me trying to make her feel better about things, sometimes if I did something she didn’t like she would give the silent treatment and the cold shoulder, when I would try to hold her and tell her I was sorry she would push me away and tell me not to touch her, she would walk around the house slamming doors, cabinets and banging dishes, whatever she could do to let me know how displeased she was, I was very naive and thought that this was normal behavior from a very sweet and innocent girl who only wanted to be loved more than I was able to provide, I would try to be better and I would promise her I would, only to let her down again and again, she would accuse me of the usual things some women accuse men of like not listening to her, not caring enough, not loving her enough, etc. well after getting pregnant things got worse, her moodiness worsened and she was needier, she wanted me right there with her all the time, even if I had tried to develop or keep friendships It would not have been possible with her demanding so much of me, I never had any hobbies or things I did outside our marriage, she was always so nice and sweet to everyone and people saw how I was to her and everyone thought we had a great thing.</divWhile pregnant she gained a lot of weight despite my very subtle suggestions that she watch what she ate, she was of average weight and height when we married and while I did expect some weight gain over the years I did not want her to become obese which is exactly what happened, looking back now I know that her gaining so much weight made her even more insecure, I have never been attracted to obese women and this had a great impact on our sexual life, I started having problems performing in the bedroom and started paying more attention to other females I found attractive, I would see some of my coworkers wives and I wondered how they were so lucky to have such beautiful wives that took so much pride in their appearance, as the years went by I started making more money and things seemed goon from the outside, her insecurities about her self worsened, I would attend work functions where wives were invited alone, sometimes I was the only married man there without his wife, she would always find some excuse not to go, I always wanted to go because It was about the only things that I could do for fun outside of family get together s, I have to be honest and say that in some ways I was glad that she wasn’t with me, I was starting to be embarrassed to be seen with her because of her weight, I would never say anything to her about her weight for fear of her reaction, I would only subtlety hint that we needed to adopt a better heather lifestyle,  or that we needed to set a better example for our kids, i always included myself in that because I did not want her to feel targeted, I knew that i could do better as well, I am currently the heaviest I have been in my life, 6’1 220 pretty evenly distributed, when we met I weighed about 180 and up until about forty years old I was weighing a bout 200 lbs. when I talk about her weight I can’t say exactly how much she gained since she would never let me find out, but it is easy to see that she had at least doubled in size she weighed about 140 lbs when we met.
She has been a great mother to our kids and has kept a good clean home for us getting better at the housekeeping over the years, she is no Martha Stewart but she does a good job. With our kids we made the mistake of  having them sleep with us which further strained our sexual relationship, she was happy with this arrangement and so was I, in a way it took a lot of the pressure to have sex with her away, yes it had become this way, I only occasionally had problems getting an erection with her but I always felt stressed when i knew that sex was on the horizon, I am sure a lot of guys know exactly what I am talking about, in the last several years sex dwindled to just a few times a year, I was content with masturbating in the shower, by this time it was almost impossible to have sex with her, I would say I have an athletic build, I have always been watchful of my appearance, I dress well and I am very clean, also I am would say I am slightly above average in penis size, but even with my size it was hard to get inside her with so much flesh in between, when we did have sex I could only get about 2 inches inside her and I had to try so hard to maintain an erection that I started developing having problems not lasting very long, we tried different positions but the truth is I wanted to see as little as possible of her while having sex.</div>
As the years went she became harder to understand, I was always afraid of doing or saying something that would upset her, it was like walking on egg shells all the time, afraid of angering her and the confrontations that would ensue, I started apologizing for everything, even when I knew I had done nothing wrong, I just so wanted to avoid conflict, in the beginning I wanted her to feel so loved and taken care and I never wanted her to be sad or angry that I spoiled her with all of that, growing up I always had this idea of women being so loving, pure, innocent, and wise, I always thought that they were loving and truthful, the idea of a woman emotionally manipulating me never even registered in my head, I never thought a woman could be abusive but that is what she was, if I wanted to do something that did not include her like joining a softball team at work she would sulk and try to convince me that I had no time to spare on that since I worked so much and had very little to devote my family, in this instance I suggested she attend the games and make it fun for everyone by taking the kids to watch the games, i think she went once, I was always asking myself why won’t she come? all the other guys wives are here rooting for them, and the whole time I was playing I was worried she would be all upset when I got home.</div>
We now own a business that I run, for the first five years she never has been interested in helping me run it so I I have  had other people working for me, she seldom even comes by my office to visit, three years ago I hired a 24 year old married woman to work for me, I am acquainted with her husband and he asked me if I would give her a job, I told him that I would give her an interview and go from there, although she was young she was intelligent and willing to work, I had just fired another woman before I hired her, things started a little rocky with her at work since she did not have any experience, however as she learned what to do things got better, I later started to realize that she was attracted to me, I had found her attractive as well but it was easy to keep it tucked away the whole time, I had worked wit many females in the past and I had been able to steer clear of trouble this whole time, this time was harder though, she was beautiful and I had already been feeling like I was wasting away for several years, the thought of going like this for twenty more years was daunting, I already felt that I had so much time to enjoy life in a more fulfilling way, at least sexually, it was easy to start getting closer to her, we worked in an office all day, just the two of us, we had customers come in and out and the phone ringing all day, but the time we found in between to talk personally became what I looked forward to every day, we both realized where we were headed and we made some efforts to keep it professional, however we both knew what we wanted, it took months before we did anything physical but we were engaged in intimate conversations, after we touched or even kissed for the first time it was months before we had sex, neither of us wanted to hurt our spouses or leave them, but the attraction was so strong, we both had different reasons for what we did, I mentioned some of mine, hers were different, even though I know most people will say that there is not good reason to have an affair, there are circumstances that facilitate an affair. I had this feeling for years that I would always be doomed to have s~~~ty sex and that the best years of my life were wasted, that i would never again know what it feels like to have great sex, that I would never feel that euphoria again, having this beautiful young woman lust after awakened all those desires I had buried long ago, just the thought of the possibility of kissing her made me lightheaded.
We had a year long affair, my wife eventually found out and told her husband, we are in the process of putting the pieces back together, it has been over three years now, I don’t know if it will work out, maybe we’ll just be able to hold it together until our children are grown, while I regret the pain I have caused other people, aside from my beloved children, I have to say that the year long affair is the most satisfying time of my life, If somebody asked me what I would do differently I may have to go back many years before that to change things, I didn’t marry with the intention of cheating on my wife, however, now I am that to her, a cheater and a liar, I am that to may other people too, her family and her few friends, I don’t blame her for my actions, I made the decision to have an affair and now I have to live with the consequences, we have talked about all the problems we had on our marriage, and she is trying to change, I am trying to change, it just may be a little too late.

You shouldn’t feel bad, your wife neglected her end of the bargain (HER). She mooched you into manginaness, it’s way too late to bring things around to “YOUR” satisfaction, The whole shamming by family and friends is BULL S~~~! Men are susceptible to beautiful woman, that’s that! Your wife should have been working on being desirable to YOU and not all that you can do for her! Your head still appears to be on backwards, you said it your self “lightheaded”, that’s your nature, to be desired by a desirable woman.

hey Eddiec, I don’t like to pry, so I won’t, but I must say one thing; indecision is a mans worst enemy, If you have decided, and truly must pull the trigger, pull it, don’t ask for a divorce, tell her your divorcing her. Pain is bad; to allow it to linger is kin to using a broken bottle to separate, instead of a razor swiped quickly! I don’t like to linger in any termination of any kind, even my own termination, I like it full force down my throat, so I can move on, and not nurse hopeless hopes.

Been there.

I second what MG-Tower said about don’t ask for a divorce tell her you are divorcing her. Also make sure you document absolutely everything and do everything in your power to make sure that you keep contact with your children. I do not know what the laws are in your state but one of the things I learned is that judges like status quo so you need to separate yourself from her quickly and pay for nothing of hers if possible. Anything you pay for her they will want you to keep paying for. The same goes for anything in any temporary injunction. I am not a lawyer but that is what my attorney told me.
