P17, sorry for confusion - the story with the text messages was in 2004, one year after we got married - and in 2005 he went abroad to work where the co-worker i.e. happened.
If the one in 2004 turns out to be true and I am pretty sure the co-worker in 2009 is true to then I cab be also sure there have been more in between.
What I don't understand - why the separation now when he cheated for so long and it never intervened with our marriage?
