lets say you are married, and have a decent job. your spouse has there own business and it seems to be doing quite well. you live very comfortably. one day after leaving work you remember you forgot to do something, upon getting home you go in to call work and over hear your spouse making a drug deal on the phone when you pick it up, you confront them and find out there business is crap, all your money and things have come from drugs. how do you feel, and what would you do? conversing

That would be HER business... As long as mine was legit, I wouldn't worry about it... I mean, from your scenario, it seems she's been doing it for quite some time and if she hasn't been caught, that means she's pretty good at it.
Why destroy a sure thing?dunno

I would separate myself from her and anything involving her. Should anyone ask about her, you simply say, "Who?" uh oh

for sure, i don't see how you could live with someone in that much deceit and not have a clue something was not right. i guess some couples just aren't really involved with one anotherdunno

i think each relationship will need different things. try not to be suspicous, but pay attention and don't let yourself be fooled again. trusting yourself, might be the key?

Thing i learnt was people will treat you as you allow them too, seeing it as a weakness, so i guess i don't take the crap anymore and will speak up sooner and try to find a solution/compromise wine

Also have learnt i don't 'need' a man in my life to be happy, its great if its the right person but a living hell if it isn't wine

I would be devastated. I am not into drugs, so there is the first problem for me. Then there is the trust and honesty issue. Clearly the line has been crossed here. No, I am not perfect, but I would want out of this situation.
