Wife continuously text messaging male coworker. What should I do?
Two months ago I started getting text alerts of cell phone carrier that I was going over my voice limit, I figured it was me going over, but it wasn't, I confronted my wife and she said it could have been any number of people. I told her the phone number , she scrolled through her contacts and said oh it was a guy from work. Now I normally would not think twice, but the conversation went on for an hour or more, so I asked, what could you possibly talk about for an hour. She said he had some issues with his girl friend and she was giving advice to him. Knowing the type of person my wife was or thought she was I asked how did you make out, she started telling me about him, who is younger, She said OK, I told her our cell plan is limited, so I raised the limit. She stopped talking over the phone, but now they are text messaging like crazy, when they wake up, during work , after work and before they go to bed. How do I know this you ask, well she is not telling me this, but my text alert notified me of coming close to limit. I also noticed the texts coming in on Apple IMessage , again I am not looking for this stuff or checking up on her. It's getting thrown in my face. We have two 4 year olds , I'm 43 and I really don't want to start all over. I feel like this coworker is getting in the middle and waiting for chance to take her away. It gets stressful with the kids, so we argue sometimes. I always told her WE have to talk about it and work it out. I did not confront her about the text messaging yet, don't want to push her away. I ,in a round about way , made a statement, if she would ever tell me if something was going on with her or if she thought that texting people of opposite sex was OK at inappropriate hours. She did not really have an answer, as if it was no concern. She said she text people from work before and I was never upset. I feel like I'm doing my part, working paying bills, taking care of the kids and always try to get alone time to talk or make out, while she's taking zumba classes and getting hot and heavy with coworkers. My gut instinct is telling me something is going on. I feel like I'm getting treated like a fool. I tried to talk to her and see if something was the matter, if she was happy or if there was something I did, What should I do?
