I'm very sorry to hear this.

None of us did.

I didn't and the results were catastrophic.

Breathe.

If this affair isn't physical already I will eat my soiled underpants.

Rule Number One: All Cheaters Lie.

You can tell they're lying if their mouths are moving.

Everything you ever thought was true about your wife is no longer true, nor will it be true again until/unless this affair ends. 95% of them do end.

You must accept that for the time being an alien has abducted your wife and taken over her body. She will not be in any fit state to be your wife for now.

Back way off, do not pursue, and postpone any major decisions for at least three months.

I have been there brother.

Your emotions will be all over the place now.

Take a deep breath, expect this all to take a very long time and do your venting here.

You are just starting out and have much to learn.

Yep.

You can.

But not now and not soon.

Do not make any decisions just yet.

You have hurt your wife deeply and in ways which are difficult to fathom.

But you will learn in time if you stick around here.
