my wife of 10 years cheated and she is depressed and unresponsive advise please




One of the causes of her depression could well have been that the affair was exciting her, giving her something to look forward to. OM's compliments, sexual pleasure amounted to an escape from her deeper issues.

Her effort to improve relations with your daughter is a tangible positive step towards improving your family life.



Encourage her to go to IC. You might also suggest that she join Surviving Infidelity.com's forum for wayward spouses. She can vent and get advice from folks who have or who are going through what she is. You can tell her you won't go and read her thread, unless she wants you to.

If you are having sex often, that is great.

You mentioned that she smoked. Do you? If you do, quit cold turkey and run to break the nicotine addiction. Don't tell her you are quitting. She'll notice and if she is inspired to follow you, that will be a sign that you are making your lives better.

Read MMSLP. You are doing a good job. Lead your wife. Make her feel secure but she should know that there is zero tolerance for cheating. It is good that you don't aspire to have a revenge affair.
