I'm in, wife's out

[trc2009]

Also, is it normal for WAW's to try to reconnect with old friends once they drop a bomb on their spouse? My wife has a few people that she started talking to that she really hasn't spoken with in years. One of them is a guy. I know for a fact that she wasn't talking to him before she dropped the bomb on me last month. They were very good friends before we met and he lives several States away. He's not a bad guy but made some pretty stupid decisions with his life a few years back that landed him in jail for a couple of years. He just got out less than a month ago. My wife told me that she messaged him to see if he was doing okay. Fair enough.

Well, she said that he texts her on occassion. Just general chit chat. I guess I'm not really threatened about her having a physical affair with someone who is fresh out of jail and is several states away. But I'm terribly concerned that she's having an emotional affair. Maybe she knows she's doing it and likes it. Maybe she just thinks she's being a good friend. I don't know.

But is something like this normal? Obviously if she's talking to him for an hour every night or they're constantly texting then that's a pretty good hint that an EA is happening.
