Lost, thanks for sharing in your circumstance. I've read so many other threads that I bet I came across yours.
The OM thing is tough for me. I don't know if I can forgive that. I have had opportunities in the past to explore this route where OW have made it known that they would be interested, but I never even considered given my family and what we've built. This act of hers seems just so selfish and self-serving that I really don't know if my bitterness would wane.
I also am unsure if I can forgive her the devastation it will take on my kids (D10, S8) if we have to tell them. I think you mentioned you have children, and if you don't mind sharing what sort of toll and reactions has this ordeal had on them?
In the end, if your wife comes back and admits she was wrong and tells you that she is willing to try to piece the marriage back together, do you think you'd be able to do that?
