I now find out that she's had 3 affairs during that "second chance"
year.
I caught my wife in an affair over a year ago and gave her a second chance. I thought our marriage was better than ever during the next year. I now find out that she's had 3 affairs during that "second chance" year. I had absolutely no clue that she reverted to her old ways. All of her affairs were initiated on Internet sites. She claims that she has a disease and that she loves me and wants to keep the marriage of 15 years with two 13-year-old children intact. She was in a sex addict program while having the last affairs. I am tired of all of the lies and now feel foolish for giving her a second chance. I'm considering starting a group similar to "perverted justice" to identify cheating spouses and make it my lifelong mission.
