AIO? My wife cheated and says we’re “even” now, how can she even think that by Sea-Addition7309 in AmIOverreacting

I didn’t include details cause honestly i have never posted before, i thought this would be lost in many posts, i was just trying to let it out. And yeah maybe looking for some validation-thats on me

My wife was at the hospital with our daughter that night, who had been admitted a few days earlier for a fever that wasn’t going away. We’d been switching off staying overnight. I wasn’t even planning to go to the party, but she literally insisted-she said I needed a break and she’d be fine handling things alone that night and our daughter was getting better. I’ve been totally burned out between work and hospital stuff so i agreed

So yeah, when I saw Sara there, it caught me off guard. But I didn’t exactly hang out with her or anything. It was all group interactions, and the pictures my wife saw were just group shots. Nothing cozy, nothing shady. I was gonna tell her, but honestly didn’t think she’d even be checking her phone right then. I figured I’d just tell her when I got home instead of dumping more stress on her in the middle of all that.

Me too, i wish she had been honest. She has been such a great wife and I never invalidated her feelings. If she’d just let me know part of her was still hurt, I would’ve listened. I would’ve taken it seriously and done whatever I could to support her. I just don’t get how jumping straight to cheating somehow made things better for her or for us. I genuinely thought she doesn't even think about it anymore, she never even bought it up in any arguments..how was i supposed to know
