DEAR DEIDRE: MY wife has turned into a gym bunny since she began an affair. She is obsessed with working out.
It’s like she is having a mid-life crisis and is now demanding that we divorce.

I’m 46 and my wife is 42. We were childhood sweethearts.
I have always been a good dad to our son who has a severe learning disability.
He has a lot of needs and my wife has cared for him while I worked. He’s 14.
I’ve tried everything to win her back, but it feels as if the pull of her lover is too strong. She stays at his house occasionally while I work and look after our son.
She has had our lover in our house and shows a lack of respect to me and our confused child.
It’s like an alien has taken her over.

Try one last time to ask how things can be improved for her. Could you suggest you work less hours so she can have a regular day off?
But if she is adamant your marriage is over, you must try to move on. My support pack Mend Your Broken Heart will help you.
It’s important your son should see his mum regularly and not be burdened by your hurt.
