She's a keeper

By Anonymous - 21/09/2022 14:00 - United States - Cedar Rapids

Today, my wife of 8 years has been cheating on me for 5 of those years, making fun of me with her family that I don't have a social life outside of her and my 3 kids. I'm waiting to get my spinal fusion completed, so I'm a stay-at-home who that can't do much and have no other options, including no one to talk to about this. FML

I feel for you! When I went through cancer surgery and then chemo I felt totally dependent on my wife and sometimes the stress and worries she had made her just occasionally verbally lash out at me. Mine was nothing like as serious as your situation with your wife, but still I felt more dependent than I had ever felt. You have three choices to in front of you: (1) Get divorced - And by the way it’s not unheard of that a former wife might have to pay spousal support if she earns more than you. Men and women are equal under the law. (2) Live with it for now until you feel more healed and then chose your time to get a divorce if you cannot reconcile from this. (3) Accept wife’s behavior if you can and come to an agreement about what the “rules” are for your relationship.

How long does it take to be completed? O_O And how long have you been at home?

Not OP but from what I gather off Dr Google, spinal fusion surgery fuses two vertebrae at a time, after which you can take up to 12 months to heal up. So depending on how many vertebrae need to br fused in OP, it could literally take several years.
