“Giving my wife space to take solo trips”

I thought I was giving my wife space to cope, but she used three separate trips to cheat on me. I am completely blindsided and feel I have nothing left to give to this marriage.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I had realized our emotional disconnect needed direct confrontation rather than distance."
If I could tell you one thing
"Address marital disconnection immediately instead of assuming space apart will fix the problem."
