If you learned that your spouse cheated on you with their boss just so they could get ahead in the office, would you be willing to allow them to make it up to you and prove they're capable of fixing your marriage?
This 48-year-old man unfortunately discovered a couple of days ago that his 39-year-old wife cheated on him with her boss for several months, just so she could get a promotion at work.
Apparently, his wife slept with her boss exactly four times, or at least that's what she's told him. His wife's boss was the one who came to her with the arrangement, and after a bit of time, she agreed to it.
He accidentally came across the evidence of what his wife was doing behind his back as it was still happening. He did some digging and uncovered all of the details.
"Each time it was carefully planned: going out with friends, business trip, etc. He dumped her right away because he made clear that this is just a 'business transaction.' She was looking at this the same [way], as she said," he explained.
"She wasn't confessing anything until I found undeniable proof, but then she would confess fully (or so I think). Now, when the 'first wave' passed, she told me the 'full story,' and we both cry all day."
"She's promising not to repeat [it anytime, and to let] me install any tracking app I want, to check her phone anytime I want, and so on. I love her. Now I have mixed feelings, but I love her. She is a good mother, wife, and so on. We have a good marriage."
Because his relationship with his wife has been so solid, he doesn't understand how she could do this to him. They talk about her affair constantly and haven't slept in days, as this has been keeping them up.
He has mentioned to his wife that he will give her the opportunity to fix the damage she's done to their marriage, but he's struggling with a couple of questions.

The first is how he can live with questioning his wife's whereabouts all the time, as she proved she was capable of lying to him while cheating.
The second is how he can ensure that she's being honest with him. The third is how he can make sure his wife doesn't actually cheat on him again, because while she appears to have put this behind her, he's doubtful about whether it can happen again.
"Do you know of a situation when someone got a chance and made it worth [it]?" he wondered.
I'm worried about what his wife is capable of doing the next time she's up for a promotion. Is she going to sleep with her boss to get ahead yet again?
Also, I don't believe his wife, because she should have told her boss to take a hike, quit, and sued him for harassment. And it's sad to me that he still thinks he has a good marriage, because it's not.
Once trust in a marriage is gone due to infidelity, there really is no getting it back. Does he really want to have to stress himself out about where his wife is, what she's doing, and if she's crossing the line at work with her boss yet again?
Because he's signing himself up for a daily downward spiral by staying with her. His wife can't avoid her boss; that's someone she's going to be seeing every day unless she gets a new job.
What advice do you have for him?
