A familiar story with questions. III

[RR17]

Do you regret confronting her? I always regret starting a R discussion. I try to remember that regret before starting one. Abd they rarely amount to anything anyway.

I hear ya, Steve. Usually, I regret starting the big R. Not this time. Not one bit. And yes I did contemplate it before I decided to jump in.

I highly doubt your W would just confess to your inquiry. I know you want to believe she is genuine. I know you think she couldn't hide it. But they can and do. I have a friend that cheated on her husband about 10 years ago. She said if a woman wants to cheat she'll find a way. She said you wouldn't believe the lengths abd depths of deceit she'd go to in order to get her fix.

Well Ws do confess. And No I don't want to believe her. I want the truth. I don't want her to cheat, but I want the truth more than I want her to not cheat.

Are Ws capable of lying? Sure
Do they always lie? No

I tend to believe based on my skeptical mind and 20 years of experience with this person, that she is not. I can not swear it and yes some doubt exists but I lean toward she is telling the truth. I am aware I could be wrong.

Yes, the more they get caught, the more crafty they can become. I am well aware. The more comfortable they can become with lying. I get it.

I saw a genuine remorse, a sadness that I don't often see from my stubborn prideful W.
I will probably never fully rule out the possibility.
