I caught my wife cheating and she made my daughter hate me and somehow made it my fault.

We were married for 19 years together for 23 years when she became Maloof and Distant,

finally declaring that our marriage seemed likely over and that she was on a healing path,

AA, while I was broken, engaged in my career doting on family, music making, furniture

building, friends, and sports.

She was spending increasing amounts of time out of the house to help celebrate a friend's

sobriety.

My aged daughter and I were home together without mom many nights.

Things got increasingly worse with my wife stating she was willing to not fall for divorce

until our daughter went off to college with occasionally vocalizing what am I thinking?

We built a great life together interludes.

Finally, after about five months of this, I couldn't take it anymore, I read her emails

and searched on love, bane.

I confronted her.

She asked what I found out, my first mistake was that I told her.

I got a new set of lies from her that conveniently served as the least harmful explanation of my

evidence.

She said,

We only made out once.

It was awful.

We're just friends.

I was crushed.
