“Steve doesn’t think there’s a problem.” What? He doesn’t think there’s a problem with having an affair? That’s an attitude divorce and child custody would solve right away.
Never discussed any relationship problem with her? Sadly doesn’t work that way. He may feel more comfortable talking to someone else about relationship issues with his lady. Sometimes they are strangers. Sometimes they are close friends. Sometimes they are called counselors. Sometimes they are called psychiatrists.
You can go to marriage counseling if you don’t know that there’s something wrong with your marriage. Aside from the obvious, it appears that no one is facing the root of the problem which is admitting to each other that there is one.
To quote the Captain in Cool Hand Luke: “What we’ve got here is failure to communicate”
For the wife in this situation, there are only two solutions. Either he stops the affair immediately or you leave. Been there, done that, got the divorce. A clean break heals faster than a protracted discussion that gets nowhere and can make things worse.
Anne’s logic doesn’t necessarily follow. It may be true of some people- and maybe it is of Steve and maybe it isn’t. It’s not a given that, if he won’t discuss certain things with her that he won’t with anyone else.
“Don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be deceived: No idolaters, adulterers, fornicators, homosexuals, thieves, liars, swindlers, nor the envious will inherit the Kingdom of the Lord.” – 1 Corithians 6:9
When I found out my husband was cheating I asked that he attend couples therapy with me. His reply was that nothing was wrong with him it was all my fault. Needless to say divorced 18 years and he couch surfs on any lonely female that will take him in out there. He has had so many girlfriends over the years that my kids do not bother learning their names. The one he is living with right now is very nice however someone asked him where he was living he said Oh currently I live at this city. He said this right in front of the girlfriend! In other words he is trolling for new digs.

Anne and Steve need help one way or another.

Does not sound like they have a great marriage.

Makes you wonder if they even HAVE a relationship.

It sounds like Steve is not even interested in her at all.

Annie has other options to get Steve to confront his sins. A few examples: .22, .357, .38, .45…
Coming soon, a future story arc where Steve finally stops cheating on his wife. He gets “lead poisoning”!

One of my saddest observations is that when somebody takes their own life and nobody knows why… that is probably why they did it.

@ Mighty Mouse: I remember a cartoon where two cows on opposite sides of the fence were leaning through the fence to get the grass on the other side!

Did I miss something? Do we know that Steve is having an affair, or is all of this still based on Annie’s assumption?
