A new twist on her old trick

We had the talk we've had three times before again this past weekend. In public, for some reason. Our youngest daughter is graduating this spring and likely headed to college; my wife wants to try another separation then. But, this time is different; she wants to stay home as we continue to live together.

I asked if there was someone else, she stated that she just wants to "see what else is out there". "And you'll be doing this from our home?", I asked; she told me that I didn't have to stay if I'm uncomfortable with it but she didn't want me to leave.
