The actual physical affair lasted less than 24 hrs because she had to fly back. I haven't confirmed that they had sex actually. She sounds like a teenager in love. not a vixen.

She is intoxicated. Her brain chemistry is fn up with her and she had the misfortune that her BF convinced that this was a good idea.

Not justifying her decisions

Yeah, you kinda are, F.

My wife kept saying she "made a mistake" (very much "SCRIPT," btw). Something about this phrase just kept gnawing at me, and then one day when she said it again, I just went off on her:

"A mistake? A mistake?? No, a one-night-stand, as bad as it would be, would be a 'mistake.' What you have done is wake up every day for the past "X" weeks (I think it had been about 5 or 6 at that point) and decide to CONTINUE to have an affair, and to lie to me, to our daughters and even to your own parents about it. That's not a 'mistake.' A 'mistake' is when you leave the cordless phone out on the lawn, and it rains, and it gets ruined. A 'mistake' is when you leave your car windows down, and your upholstery gets wet. Those are 'mistakes.' No, (Wife), what you have done is not a 'mistake' but a DECISION, and you KEEP ON MAKING THAT DECISION, EVERY DAY, and it's incredibly disrespectful to our family. Please don't ever use that word with me again, and at least be HONEST WITH YOURSELF about what you're doing here!"

And I walked away.
