Regarding the wife, it sounds like she found someone else. She's transforming herself into someone else for someone else.

Agreed... Very much so....

AT can't help fix this situation. From the sounds of it, I don't think intense counselling can, either. But I will say that someone changing their lifestyle is not a bad thing and that there are probably more underlying issues that we (or you) don't know about. What I'm saying is that there isn't just one thing making this happen. There never is.

I suggest that even though you care for them, give them their space and don't violate their trust by telling secrets or making suggestions to either one behind the other's back. If they want to save their marraige, they are the only ones that can do it.

My first thought when I read about all of the changes was "affair". Is she is not changing for him then she is changing for someone else. I guess it could be a severe mid life crisis as she approaches 30 but those are a lot of drastic changes in a short amount of time and she's still well over a year away from 30. Not good either way for him.

Kill him now. Much less painful.

Edit: Because she's definitely riding someone else. He'll thank you in heaven later.
