That sounds like a relationship based on distrust to begin with. It does not sound like forgiveness but more like a feeding of insecurity.

The distrust began with her adulterous behavior. Are you saying it's not reasonable that there should be consequences to that, and that there may be things she needs to do in order for her husband to feel like he can trust her again?
The concept of "transparency" was not made up by me. Many authors have written about it, and it is the foundation of MANY reconciliation plans.
It all depends on how it's presented. If it's a vindictive "do this or else," it will never work. It needs to be a "If you don't want to do this, I understand, but this is what I need in order to feel comfortable in the marriage now that you've already had an affair and left me once. It won't be forever, but for now, this would really help me."
