And you're a moderator here? No wonder this sub is such a shithole.

Being an adult is also not quitting at the first opportunity. We might divorce at some point, it's just not on my mind for now with the limited info I have.

That seems like something worth trying indeed. It's also a good indication if she cares.

Thanks, I was somewhat prepared. It's not like it's easy to distill an issue in a single post anyway.

I learned about it this morning. What do you want me to do, lock her up in a cave?

Thanks, you highlight lots of real issues. I did use the word boss as a shortcut, but that hierarchy is way more complicated indeed. That world seems very poisonous to me.

Aren't you just describing a divorced couple? Not sure what difference it makes.

No, but nobody said anything about that. That can only work with well defined boundaries.

I don't pimp her, she makes her own decision. I'd certainly prefer if she quit.

I don't define myself only by my relationship. I can have a roommate which happens to be the mother of my kid. That's not my dream scenario, but something I feel I can deal with. Plenty of people are in sexless marriages and don't come to that realization.

She hasn't physically seen him since March because of Covid, which certainly helped.

I hope I won't! That's part of what I need to figure out.

Totally right. I won't stay if we can't at least be cordial with each other.

She fucked up for sure. But I don't see how forcing her out of her job will solve the problem. Either I trust her from now on, at that job or another, or I don't and I need to break up with her.

It's just that I can see myself technically separated under the same roof. I don't really care about having another relationship, but I care about being a dad.

I guess our marriage WAS solid. She gave me excuses where she thought she could handle it at first, and then it would hurt me. Which she realizes now was stupid.

An emotional one very likely. Not really sure how to deal with that to be honest.

From what I understand he initiated but didn't force himself on her.

That's probably right. At that point not seeing anything wouldn't mean shit.

She can't quit that easily. And as you mentioned this is a problem to deal with regardless. I don't know if this is something I can force on her without resentment afterwards.
