Thanks for your post. Our R prior to marriage was long. We dated for 5 years and were engaged 2 1/2 of those years. We took our time and talked about infidelity before we got married. H knew the lines as his former wife cheated on him which is why he said he had the A. The OW husband cheated on her so he knew her pain and was trying to be a friend to her.
Yes, to answer your questions, I did trust him before all of this. He was not the type of man that I thought was capable of cheating. But there were areas of concern. He is very private about his finances, bills, debts, etc. But that was not enough for me not to marry him.
