Default Need some SERIOUS help guys!

i need some advice on what could be a life changing decision. Thanks in advance guys, i really dont have anyone else to turn too. Even though ive given her everything, for some time now ive suspected my wife is having an affair, and i dont know what to do about it. the usual signs, the phone rings i answer someone hangs up. She started going out "with the girls" alot recently, although when i ask which girls its always "some girls from work, you dont know them" i always look for her taxi bringing her home but she always walks down the drive although i can hear a car leaving. as if she has gotten out of a car around the corner.Why? is it not a taxi? I recently picked up her cell phone to see what time it was and she went beserk and got very upset and told me to stop checking up on her. Anyway, ive never approached the subject with her. I think deep down i just didnt want to know the truth but last night she went out again and i decided to check on her.I decided to hide behind the car which would give me a view of the entire street so i could see what car she gets out of. It was while i was crouched behind the 75 corvette that i noticed rust by my wheel well. Should i take it to a body shop or buy some stuff and repair it myself? any tips sure would be appreciated!

i'm shocked that behavior could go on right in front of you and you didn't become suspicious sooner.....you need full disclosure and bring all the issues out into the light so you can see the real damage done...only then can you build a plan to salvage the relationship.....start by using a wire brush its probably surface on the frame
