But it does says a lot about you if you are willing to condone cheating (whether you think it or not that is what you are doing) instead of condemn it. What you did when you found out, or the lack of response is what sets up this whole scenario.
Your wife's view of you is changing for the worst with every day now.
I really agree with the other commenter that your wife might find some escape, and solace, and feel more like herself if she were able to pick up a part time job herself instead of you having to work two jobs. It'd give her the ability to get out of the house, a way she's feeling like she's contributing financially, and the ability to speak to other adults sometimes instead of feeling so isolated.
Further, keep pushing for therapy in addition to meds. Meds alone are ineffective. My personal stance is that failure to maintain your own health, mentally or physically, is a deal breaker for me. I need my partner healthy, and running on as close to all cylinders as possible. I need my partner to take care of themselves, not force me to take care of them if it's avoidable at all. I need my partner to be a partner. And part of THAT is that she needs to prioritize her own mental health so that she CAN have some of herself to put into parenting and into the relationship. Have a conversation about unnecessary stigmas if it's relevant. But I would personally be willing to die on that particular hill.
You met a genuinely nice guy who formed a great professional relationship with you along with an appropriate friendship outside of work. You caught feelings. It happens. That’s why nice guys/girls like your team lead don’t ever stay single for long.
Op does your wife have that condition that makes her appear to not age at all? I'm having a hot time understanding how she looks so young that you make people think you're a pedophile.
“I'm going to take a shower” is the Japanese version of “Netflix and chill”. It's so implied it's a pickup line.
Avoid dating having a situationship men that are old enough to be my father and immature enough to be my baby brother.
Better?

Absolutely no one is that stupid. You don't need to have a sibling to know the difference between a sibling and a potential sexual partner.
