Is there a way to change or I am looking in the wrong area in my profile?
I am seriously considering getting my wife to read some of the posts on here before I start questioning her on the affair she had 25 years ago that we just rug swept. We didn't even talk about it, just sort of drifted back together.
I was fine for years but over the last few years it is starting to consume me and even more now that my oldest son left his wife for a co-worker. It is constantly on my mind now and I think the only way forward for my mental health is to ask some hard questions.
She is blaming my daughter-in-law for my son's affair and gets upset when this poor girl pushes back so you can see what I am up against. So many times, I have had to bite my tongue, so I don't explode.
There is so much I never knew or possibly ever asked and I know there are things that happened but forgotten details due to PTSD from the whole situation.
If I do, my username will be recognizable, I think. At this stage I would rather her not identify me.
I am hoping if she has a good look here it may help with her lack of empathy.
She is a very hard person to talk to and takes any type of criticism as a personal attack. Her coping mechanism is to lash out verbally then shut down.

Thanks, so you have to pay to change it. That's okay but unfortunately, we have joint credit cards so she will see the transition.

If there is no other way if I disable my profile will that remove my posts?

If anyone knows of any readings online (free obviously because of the credit card situation) that I could ask my wife to read that would or may help a cheater with absolutely no empathy or understanding how painful and hard to heal from infidelity is and the long-term effects from it through resweeping would be helpful.

I don't want to drop my feelings on her before I give her the chance to learn more on this.

Once I have given her that chance to at least try to understand then I will drop all this on her.

If I don't get any remorse and get some hard questions answered, then I am out of this 42-year-old marriage. I have to put my mental health first. I cannot live the rest of my life with this in my head every day.

I hope beyond all hope she comes round. Our life is good now and we get along better than ever now all the kids have gone and with both of us nearing retirement. I love her so much, but I can no longer live with this pain in my head.
