So saturday my wife calls me and we spoke on the phone for about an hour. She explains that she too has been researching and thinking about recon. She says that over our 7 years together that she can't think of one great or magic moment. She says she believes in fairy tales and that OM is just proud to be with her and I never was. There is nothing she can go back on and say hey this can work, she explained. In summary, she says that she has no more energy for this relationship and that she's done.

Is this starting to sound hopeless? Should I continue DB? Her saying there was nothing great in 7 years probably hurt worse just as bad as affair. Side note, she said all this after she found out my some more of my friends know, I was keeping this relatively secret. But after 9 months, it's hard to not keep it all in.

Following day we went to beach along with her family. Had a blast, didn't bring relationship up once. We held hands, kissed, laughed, played etc. This was planned a month in advance and I wanted to see some of her family. My family lives hours away so I basically connected with hers more than mine. Her dad says I'm too good for her. Just rough having to let them go as well.
