So my wife is dating this guy...

8,512 793 July 5, 2007 at 07:19 AM in Finance (13)
..I think it's time to dump her. Should we get divorced?

She went out last Saturday night with some guy, stayed out until 1 am. Then on Tuesday, she's out again until 1 am, says they went to eat and then a movie!!?! Last night, 1:30. It's getting later, I guess it's time to dump her! Sadwalk

What would you do?

Sounds to me like this woman has a history of doing the same thing to every man that she's doing to you. I highly doubt that she would stay with you if you chose to stay with her.

I don't like divorce at all, but in this case you need to protect yourself. If you feel like she's preparing to leave you, then make sure you are ready. nod But I seriously don't see this relationship lasting...

Well, if she typically had numerous male friends when I met her, it would be understandable. And I'm not saying she should never have male friends.

But 3 times in one week, staying out until 1am? I'm sorry, but that's extreme in our situation.
whoa!! that is stretching it toooooo far.

HIRE A P.I.! Honestly, if there is absolutely no way back you need proof when you go to court. Real proof. I'll say it again. HIRE A P.I.

Nah, as someone else so eloquently put it, affairs can happen at anytime, any place. While 1AM doesn't look good for her to be out until, it doesn't mean she's reaching for another man for sure.

Stealth said he's been unhappy for awhile. This looks like a good excuse to get out if that's what he really wants. If she's straying, maybe she's been feeling his unhappiness too. I hope they can sit down and talk this out to get to the heart of it for all of their sakes.

Again, I'm sorry Stealth. Been there with a GF before. Worst feeling in the world.
I disagree with you babe... People could have an affair at any time of day... 1AM has nothing to do with it.

I would disfigure her face so no other man wants her. She's your WIFE. If she's going to leave you for another man, by all means... but never cheat on someone you've married. I've never been honest... that's why I'll never get married.
Uh, dude, there is a line between being angry and being psychotic, you know. Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

But you have to admit... there's not much to do at 1am besides you-know-what. nod

If it was a lunch meeting, there would be less stigma.

I think I have a prob with the 1am thing. Not that 2 people couldn't do whatever they wanted to do any time of the day or night. It more of a respect issue for me I think. To be out until 1am with a "friend" of the opposite sex, in a one on one situation...is very disrespectful to one's so imo.

Respect is high on my list of must haves for a healthy relationship.
hmm..i really don't see a respect issue here as long as it is in control. To me..its like you are taking your personal space and hanging out with your buddy..why does it matter if its a guy or a girl?

IMO, one would be worried only if he/she knows in their right mind..that they are doing wrong.

I love platonic friendships Rock

yes..3 times in a week 1 am is disrespectful, esp. when you are married with kids. Once in a month or less so..wouldnt bother me.

True... they can. But to me the 1am thing nails the coffin. You know that feeling of being swept up in 'something new' makes you do stupid things... like stay out til 1 am when you're married with kids at home. (only because stealth has confessed that this is not the norm for her)
No amount of honest clean healthy fun will make you totally disregard your SO and kids like that.

I've found myself on all sides of this coin before. (while unmarried) Just a word of advise to those who haven't... it's never worth it.

It certainly is easier to explain away a "Nooner " then a late night/early AM session.


Someone mentioned above that maybe she is helping the guy though a rough patch in his life, but she could have simply said so. Since she didn't she more then likely had jumped on his pogo stick and hopped around the bed.

I'd be nice if she only was befriending this guy, but I doubt it.

I also wonder if she finally wants to be the cheater since she was previously cheated on.

You said that thinks have more or less sucked in your opinion, so is it reasonable to assume that its been sucking for her too???

The cards look like its been a bad deal, and I'd fold rather then going all in at this point.

Conserve assets as others have indicated above.

I hope its just a misunderstanding, but I don't think it is.
