I’ve ignored my wife’s affairs but it’s all coming back to haunt us now

DEAR DEIDRE: I am sure my wife has had sex with most of the men in our village and for years I turned a blind eye, thinking it was ­better to avoid confrontation.

But now we are coming up to retirement, the thought of spending the rest of my life stuck in a house with her fills me with dread.

I’m 65 and she’s 64. We’ve been married for 40 years and have three grown-up kids and two grandchildren.

During our marriage, I believe she has had multiple sexual encounters and affairs, with lots of different men.
