My wife found out through cell phone records. She demanded to know who the person was I was calling and texting so much. She called the number. It was easy to find out.
It destroyed trust. I was/am a bad husband. I didn’t feel guilt. Only resentment. My wife was trying to take away the woman I loved. I built up a wall between us emotionally and to this day have not lowered it. I continued to talk to the WIL. My wife found out. I told her I loved her only as a friend. We could stay married or we could get a divorce. I was a coward. I should have been strong enough to let her go or end it. I ended up just hurting both of us. Being stuck in a marriage with no intimacy. I do value her friendship but after so long did we/I do the right thing?
