I have been married for 15 years to a woman that I was madly in love with every time I am away from her I felt a loss. Yesterday my world came to an End. The night before last I asked her for a binder to put my resume in for I had a job interview and did not want the resume to get crinkled from carrying it in my hand. I printed my map and my resume out and slide them into the binder. On my way to the job interview I reached into the binder to get the map and I noticed I folded picture below one of the folders. I pulled it out and it was a picture of my wife in her bra and panties standing in our bedroom, I do not remember this picture! I notice a few more pictures so I pull them out — 1 of the pictures is my wife laying naked on a bed in a room I have never seen. At this minute I was driving down the interstate at over 70MPH! At the very second I had a full blown panic attack I was unable to function and the thought of ending my life was at the front most of my thoughts. I calmed down and called my wife and asked her Honey when did you cheat on me of course he reply was I have never! I hung up on her, called her back a few minutes later and asked the say question, her reply was the same. Then I informed her that I had the pictures and I know she had done it. Her affair bothers me to no end, I still love my wife but there are a lot of questions I have. The biggest is why? The next biggest is why did she allow pictures to be taken, my wife will not even allow me to take pictures of her naked! Thanks to Walgreen’s putting dates on the back of the pictures I know this affair happened 3 years ago, that does not make it any easier. The thing that bothers me the most is that I had a chance to have an affair on my wife about 10 years ago and I could not go through with it, I had to strong of feeling for my wife to do it! And then to find out she did not share as strong feelings for me to stop her affair before it got sexual really hurts!
