Dear Deidre: Cheating and can you get over it
DEAR DEIDRE: Sorting through my best friend’s affairs after his sudden death I was devastated to discover his secret - he’d had an affair for years with my wife.My best friend was a huge part of my life from our college days, until he died aged 56, a year ago.Every problem gets a personal reply from one of our trained counsellors.
Our marriage was generally good. Over the years, our sex life diminished, but I believed this to be normal.Last year, he died suddenly from a massive stroke. I was devastated. As his best friend and executor to his will, I agreed to help his wife sort through his possessions, when she was finally ready.To my absolute horror, it contained photographs of my wife, and love letters.Since then, I haven’t been able to sleep. I did ask my wife if she’d ever cheated on me, but she denied it.I still love my wife but I don’t see how I can stay married to her, knowing what I know.
It’s possible for couples to stay together after an affair, but it requires complete honesty and effort from both partners. You need to talk to your wife again and tell her what you’ve found out. Then, if she is willing to explain and wants to make your marriage work, you need to discuss how you can repair it.Also think about counselling - my support pack on this tells you more.It’s possible she already knows or suspects, but hearing it from you would only cause her more pain.
