I beat around the bush about the "why" for several days -- but it was that my wife was busy having an affair (we had a toddler and an 8 year-old then).

Of course, it's not that an affair intruded to a perfect/harmonious marriage -- but my wife's actions were indeed the coup de grace.

As my sons get older, I can appreciate how tough such news must be for parents, as well.

Best to you and yours during all this....
