En vino veritas, whatever... Have a couple of thoughts about the emotions that could lead to this...1) Wife KNOWS you aren't going to come check on her. You either are, or she sees you, as inattentive. This is what it is. The fact you didn't check on her probably shows a bit of a boneless streak in you, but that's just based on the fact that most women, even sloshed, would have enough FEAR that their mate would come along (let alone respect) to refrain. Unless they can safely say something like, "He doesn't care."2) Steve knows he's more powerful than you. He gets off on the fact that he can have anything you have. Because of this, if you work things out with your wife, you can never go near him. If this ended in a bathroom free-for-all, it didn't start there. There were eyes and signals being exchanged, you better believe it, so there is nothing innocent or excused here. But this begins and ends with the core of who you are. Either you need to build self confidence and assert yourself to the point where you aren't squarely at the bottom of the pack as far as respect amongst your peers, but you choose friends and your relationships based upon people who don't see themselves as above you. Steve isn't a friend. He lords over you. And your wife knows this about Steve. She digs it. She sees things in your character that are weaker than her ideals. That is only an indictment of you insomuch as you chose her to be a centerpiece in your life. She doesn't seem like the kind of girl who wants to lead a happy, normal, productive life as your peer. She apparently feels she settled and what she really wants she couldn't obtain... So she had to steal it. In my opinion, the damage is done. You need to move on and find a better dynamic. You're at the bottom rung of a ladder you don't even want to climb.
