Awkward situation

[Tate]

Thanks everyone for the outside views and advice so far. You are all making me feel a little less like I'm crazy.

So, I've been thinking things over quite a bit as expected and a couple glimmers of hope have stood out to me. The first is that my W approached me yesterday and told me she did not have a physical affair at all. I suspect she is lying because the first time I called her out on it, she didn't deny it. This is important because if she truly did not want to reconcile, she would have no reason to try to ease my mind. The flip side of that is she's trying to make herself feel better about the affairs because she feels guilt. Either scenario is progress, I think.


For the second thing, I will give a short background...The guy she had a PA with owns an exotic pet store. My kids wanted pets and ended up getting snakes of all things from his shop. Yesterday, I told my wife that I don't like the snakes around because they are a constant reminder of him. She apologized saying that she would have gotten rid of them but the kids are too attached now. Again, she's showing a hint of both remorse and compassion toward me.

...or maybe I'm just reading into things...
