Hi Dan

I think most people here are in general agreement that Ws reaction seems to have been a bit extreme. So, is it all a bit of a convenient 'reason' for her to leave the M?

Is there something that we are missing here? Is there something that you are missing here? A deeper problem in the marriage perhaps? Could there be somebody else? I'm sorry to put that out there, but for me (as a 'wronged wife') there is something that doesn't add up.

In my eyes you are 'newlyweds' and if she is prepared to end your M in this way, for this reason, are you sure she is who you thought she was? Seems a bit lacking in staying power if I'm honest.

Marriages are full of hiccups. This looks on the surface to be a minor hiccup. If she's going to falter over this then I don't think that's an indication of how awful you were, but an indication of her character perhaps.

In no way do I wish to downplay what was wrong. I can imagine how hurtful that discovery was for her. A bit of life experience suggests to me that at some point, she's going to look back and feel her over reaction like a slap in the face. But I do think she has to fully realise what she has lost. Sending her gifts of reminiscence and romance is not going to do that is it?
