StitchwitchD, I think your last paragraph probably sums up where things are at right now. Although she's been with this guy for 4 months (and I've known 2 weeks), I'm hoping she's still in that NRE that every talks about, and that's making it as hard as it's been for her to let go of him...

Well everyone, I just wanted to say thank you for the help, kind words and simply the fact that your forum exists. You are more welcoming and warm to new members like myself who come along with seemingly the same problems and questions than any other forum that I've been to. Unfortunately, it...

Hi all. Just wanted to say thanks again for all the helpful advice. As hard as I'm going to try I don't feel very confident in things working out well. I'm almost at a point where I want to simply ask her not to see him ever again, and for them to go back to being old friends that...

You are absolutely right, and unfortunately while I'm trying to tell myself that I need to rebuild the trust I'm also finding out new information (not from her) that she's yet to tell me. But I'm committed to trying to make this work.

Another clarification: We've been married a little over 10 years now, but the last 5-6 years has been very difficult because of her job changes, moving, losing a house to the bank that we couldn't sell, and a child that had a very serious illness. She believes that she needs another outlet...

Some more info on my situation... I've been reading some books that my wife has purchased, such as "Open" and "The Marriage Makeover". I'm honestly still on the fence about an open marriage and have certainly not ruled it out. But the way I see her relationship with this other man is that...

Thanks for the welcome. As a new member to this forum I don't want to overstep any boundaries. But at the same time the "anonymity" of the internet can make it very easy for me to open up to people I've never met.

First off, if any of my questions are not appropriate, or not within the focus of this community (i.e., more for a counselor than a bunch of strangers on the internet) I apologize. Please feel free to move on. My wife just told me she's been having an affair for a while with another man. She...

Hi all, First of all, thank you for this forum and resource. I'm guessing that I'm probably not the first or only new member that's registered with my circumstances. I'm going to try not to commit any serious faux pas or sins here. So here it is: My wife would like to explore an open...
