So… I've been married to my wife for seven years. and father two lovely girls.
She is an ethnic European.
just before our anniversary of marriage.
She made the decision to prolong our family vacation and stay behind with the girls for a few more weeks.
On the occasion of our wedding anniversary, she organised a night out with her girlfriends, inviting a male friend as well.
We didn't talk much, but I trusted her, and she sent me pictures of herself with this man. A little Prerogative.
I gave one of her friends my gifts for our anniversary, and she gave them to her. Nothing from my wife.
I asked her a few questions about the photo the following day. She became very combative, but I didn't push.
The subject came up when she got home.
You don't trust, she remarked.
Which I did. but thought her behaviour was a touch disrespectful.
It turns out that she deleted all of the correspondence with this man. Additionally, every image, even those in the recently deleted folder.
She said that nothing had happened and she was suffering from post natal depression.
And It was all a ruse to get my attention.
My issue is that I have that gut feeling she was unfaithful.
She understands how I feel because we talked about it.
I never had trust issues before this occurrence, but now I can't stop thinking about it.
I feel like it's hurting our marriage and makes me feel insecure
She would return home if I left her, I would no longer have regular access to my daughters.
She offered to perform a lie detector but never scheduled one.
But I'm really unsure of what to do or where to go from here.
Any advice would be much appreciated ?
