<human>: OK... here we go... I have no issue addressing my many mistakes. I was in an alcoholic womanizing spiral when I met my wife... Not a good place to meet a partner but we were coworkers... we had different yet similar exes and hurts... We bonded over our stories. Yet I continued to fight one of the big reasons why my first marriage fell apart. 

I drank, even after my two daughters were born. I am not abusive, I get goofy and fall asleep. I have never lost a job, been charged with anything... but nonetheless have to identify as an alcoholic; i am. 

I created a situation where I was not responsive enough nor was I keeping up my husband duties. Including sex, making my wife feel special or participating in a deep connection. During this time and before my exit from such mistakes, my wife cheated on me with her best friend.

I am willing to forgive her for this... I messed up in just as much of an intimate way. I understand why she did it. I am not mad at her. However, now that I have been doing very well, she wants to re-engage in her friendship with this man.

Thus far she has agreed to stay in NC with him. I feel that due to the nature things, some more time... like months to years is in order. She wants to talk to him now. There are issues that I can't describe with out pages of material. Suffice it to say- I messed up big, she messed up big. The one I will mention specifically... She is trying to undermine her previous admission that cheating is the same as addiction in terms of seriousness and that she has been weirdly distant from me over the last two weeks. 

I will answer all questions about any of this openly and honestly. Please ask. That is why I am posting.
