(This is gonna be a long post, sorry)Me and my wife have had a shaky past few years. Constant fights and disagreements over the smallest of things. Well she's been acting even more strange than usual, giving me this gut feeling that something's not right for months. She has completely shut off herself physically from me. Granted, we do have 2 kids and she's put on a bit of weight (bothers her, doesn't bother me) and she's not happy with herself. But still it's weird compared to her used to not be able to stop touching me.

And she recently started playing online with certain guys from Florida on the PS4. She plays a lot with them, and she knows everything about them. But hasn't mentioned she's married, just that she has kids. And I've been noticing her looking at other guys/girls more than ever.(she was bisexual in high school, but I'll come back to that)

And now she's back in our hometown visiting my family and hers. First week she was down there we spoke maybe 4 times on the phone. She messaged me the other day stating. "Hey I ran into my old best friend the other day at the water falls(never mentioned it until this point) and we started talking, she's been having a really rough time. I thought I might take her to the movies or something." I knew who this girl is, and I thought her and my wife dated in high school but my wife said "we were so close, people thought we were dating. But we stopped talking 5 years ago due to a big fight (over a girl they both liked)."

I'm not a girl, so maybe I'm clueless here. But all her other female friends, she just takes to lunch, manicures or something. Movies is weird. I said it's kind of weird, she clapped back with the "I don't know why you don't trust me, it really hurts my feelings. I Don't know why you think I'm such a big slut" Now she's constantly "going out to dinner with her  younger brother" and "going to the falls". Idk, I can't shake this feeling that something is off. Maybe I'm crazy, idk. Also that night she told me about her friend, my wife volunteered to send me nudes of herself(she's never done that our entire relationship)

If you're getting a bad vibe, there may be something to it.

Good luck man. :/


ETA: It'll be worth taking the time to talk through it with her (the things that are bothering you)... I wouldn't eject quite yet.

Trust your gut, the Eagles have a verse that addresses this sort of thing:

So she tells him she must go out for the evening
To comfort an old friend who's feelin' down
But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin'
She is headed for the cheatin' side of town

ETA: Wait, this is a girl? Perhaps you can both comfort her

This is true.  She needs to come clean.  If she won't, you'll never trust her again and it'll always be a wedge between you.  Even if she does come clean there's a good chance she won't be able to earn your trust back.  But if you sit her down and ask for a reckoning, and she refuses, then you know where her priorities are.

Default troubled marriage thread gets default Arfcom answer: eject.

Seriously though, I do hope it's nothing and you can work it out.

We do have children, it's not always so simple. But she has stated before in our fights "I want to leave, but I'm stuck with you. We have kids and I can't get a job." I hope it's nothing either. I just needed to vent it out. I'm losing my mind over here.

Get your head out of the sand. Get all your finances squared away. And be prepared. It may be something you canwork through, but most likely it wont be. And if it end up in divorce she will make your life hell and try to destitue you.
6/7/2017 1:26:53 PM EDT

When there is doubt, there is no doubt. Something is up and it involves other people. Been there, done that.....you have to trust your gut. From what you are telling us, something is most likely going on.

Why can't she get a job?  

At what point did marrying a bi-sexual seem like a good idea?
6/7/2017 1:27:19 PM EDT

Sounds like an opportunity for a 3 way.  (The good kind).

same red flags I had before shit blew up in my face. shes cheating, 100%. get a voice activated recorder, start spying, hire a PI. Its over, sorry man.
6/7/2017 1:27:53 PM EDT

Damn, she wants to leave and has even said it, maybe you should leave instead.

Idk, I thought she was past it. Her last relationship before me was a girl But my wife was still in high school. So figured she was just being young and dumb.

So your relationship is less than five years old, wife's age is 23 or younger, you're now married and have two kids together, and she's ignoring you and engaging others. 

Well, that fuckin sucks. 
6/7/2017 1:31:57 PM EDT

Time to rathole some cash, send your firearms off for "cleaning", and go see a divorce lawyer it sounds like.
6/7/2017 1:32:31 PM EDT

1) trust gut
2) why are you mad that she is out meeting with old friends and family while she is visiting her hometown for the express purpose of visiting friends and family.
3) no reason to decline nude pics.

When my gut told me something was wrong....there was something wrong.

Our marriage counselor said I was being irrational and controlling, and that I should trust my spouse.  

Annnnd the wife was boning her personal trainer.....  

When your gut tells you there is something wrong, you keep digging around till you find proof that your gut was right.

I took kids and left, got primary custody of them, and she's on marriage #4 now, and weighs about 240.

I remarried a 30 year old blonde with a Masters in Biotechnology.

After reading that, I don't trust your wife either.

I don't know about you but my gut is usually right, I listen to it. That being said, maybe you're feeling is coming from the fact that the relationship isn't in good shape and you think she might want to leave.

Is there any way you can find out what she's doing with her free time without her finding out you're checking up on her?
6/7/2017 1:34:20 PM EDT
[#43]
If you think she's playing around, hire a private investigator for a week or so to follow her around. 
If she's playing around, you'll be set for the divorce.  If not, you've blown a couple thousand, but you'll feel better.

This.

Also, not telling people she's married is bullshit!  

She can either get her shit together and work with you to fix the marriage, or you need to eject.

Posting nudes of her without her knowledge or permission? If that's the case, that's a good way to get into legal trouble. http://www.cagoldberglaw.com/states-with-revenge-porn-laws/ And even if there is no law in your state YET, it's still not worth the risk.

If she's a whore she's a whore. Take the high road for the sake of your kids. I'm so sorry you're going through this. You and your kids deserve MUCH better.
6/7/2017 1:37:37 PM EDT

Good luck man. Best thing you can do is try to work it out with her. I hope for the best for you, especially for your kids.

She lives in New Mexico, of course she's unhappy

Therapy might be good. They can help you fix things up or wrap things up, it's up to you and the wife.
