Somehow, just having the person you love finally be honest about something so painful and something they've been hiding from you for a long time does make a difference.
Oh, ABSOLUTELY!

Thanks, you don't know how much it helps to know that my desire for this honest communication isn't irrational or crazy.

On the contrary, it was that I specifically needed my wife to stop making ME out to BE crazy!
This is word-for-word, from my script when I re-confronted her at the 60-day mark:
"(Wife), I know everything you've done with (OM), everything you've done in your car, and at (OM's best friend's) house, and you need to stop lying to everybody about it. You need to stop lying to me, to our daughters, and to your parents. It’s disrespectful, it’s immoral, and it's been going on for 60 days now and it HAS TO STOP.
"I'm going to give YOU the opportunity to do the right thing, (Wife), and regardless of what you want to do with our marriage, it's time that THE TRUTH BE TOLD, and I will no longer tolerate you making ME look like I'm the paranoid one, when EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE SAID, EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE ASKED YOU, EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE TOLD OTHERS, HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY TRUE, and I'm sure I even missed some of it. Everything has been true, everything has been backed up with evidence, or I wouldn’t have been so hurtful as to make the accusations."
