I read my original thread on occasion, and my original reddit thread on occasion (because they can be pretty brutal in a way even 2x4's here are not, but also funny).
Google "trickle truth."
Then reread what you wrote:
"The highest escalation of physical contact my wife said happened was holding hands. I ahve reason to believe this is true though not 1005"
I think you already know you are being "trickle truthed".
"She apologized depeply for it and said she would cut it off."
M'kay....but then this?
"Over the next month she texted him over a thousand times."
That is pretty much game over, in my book. But then you drop this too:
"I haven't read those texts."
Why not? The only correct answer is your trusted legal counsel read them to you, following the eye surgery which left you sightless. If the reason is she has not given you access, the divorce needs to proceed immediately.
But then you serve up this flaming baked Alaska dish of GMAFB:

My friend, you need to hire a rock band and a clown car filled with performers when you serve the divorce papers on this one. Have people twisting balloons into animals and maybe some go-go dancers. Because she is engaging in an ongoing circus of infidelity and lying, so you might as well formally make it a party.
Good stuff. Yeah, I was pretty soft. Might still be soft, but not that soft.
