Alright so, I've been unplugging for about 3 months, lifting regularly, owning (most) of my shit and generally trying to become an oak in my household. Married 9 years, 3 kids, I'm 31 and she's 30. Also, I'm not nor have I ever been fat, I'm a way too skinny type.

I'm trying not to give away too many details. It's become fairly clear to me that she has attraction for a neighbor of ours. His kids and my kids are best friends. You might recall a post from me about her babysitting. Anyway, I can tell there is something there, to my detriment I've mentioned it to her and she denies any wrongdoing (but won't admit attraction).

Before I ask my question I'm going to guess the answer, just tell me if I'm right or help me find the right path. STFU and lift, build my own attraction, and subtle dread?

How do I handle it for example, I need to leave or rather want to leave because her and my kids are at the neighbors? If I leave, then yes maybe subtle dread for her but also for me. Also, if I'm not around doesn't that just make him a more attractive option for her? It seems like that plays right into hypergamy.
