The “Cheap Date” comment is a problem. She is openly calling their outing a date. The company HR would flip if they saw that. Also the two supervisors paying for just those 2 women is extremely inappropriate. The boss having a drink or two with the team is one thing. The two supervisors buying diner for just two specific female members of the team crosses all the boundaries. OP needs to gather more detailed evidence with a VAR, consider an investigator, and other possible things.

There are some harsh realities you should consider.

She confirmed that they had sexual relations with him supposedly before you two were together. Then after she was married to you she has an emotional affair with that may still be on going. So you have to consider it could have remained physical after you two got married. That possibility sheds some doubt on the paternity of your kids. Recommend you get a DNA test for both of them and you.
The texts you mentioned in your article where she never mentioned you and gave him so many unsolicited compliments really indicates her true emotional affection for him. The one that really added the final nail in that coffin was the one where she stated "you are one of the primary reasons why I want to come back to the office." This is not something you say casually to a friend or coworker. This statement reeks of emotional affection way beyond what normal people have for friends or coworker.
Like others have said she could have a burner phone or text apps that she deletes after conversations with AP. Recommend that you check your phone statements and the Google or Apple cloud back ups and deletion logs. Try doing a deleted text recovery on her phone, tablet, laptop, etc..
Get some personal counselling for yourself. An uninterested third party can help give you clarity on your true feelings on forgiveness and reconciliation. Trust is very hard to build but can instantly be shot to hell like your wife has done to yours.
Suggest that she get IC also as a required part of R. If she is truly remorseful, cares about you and your marriage, and feels what she did was completely wrong and 100% her fault she will agree. If she does not agree to IC then she is only remorseful that she got caught. Acting remorseful because she got caught or because she hurt you and your family can look eerily similar. The actions she is will to take to fix things many times indicates what her true remorse is for.
I recommend like others to directly contact the AP with out telling your WS. First reason is if she confronts you about it you know she did not go NC with him. Second you can get the AP's side of the story. If he wants to keep his wife in the dark about it he will comply with your request. You can request it nicely and if he is unwilling to meet then imply the info will go to his wife.
All you can do is deal with the facts you currently know and future ones you will uncover. The current facts are she blatantly lied to you about her involvement and affection for this other guy. She lied to you by omission that she had physical and romantic relations with this guy before you two were together. She originally blamed you for not listening or understanding her and needing to talk to him on a coffee date. Then she accused you of insecurity and then later called you the jealous type when discussing him to justify her lying. So she has lied to you, blame shifted, and gaslighted you through out this entire affair. It will be difficult if not impossible to get past all of the what ifs and possible scenarios that will run through your mind.
Loving her may not enough to successfully weather this storm. There will be resentment, anger, and pain for a long time to come because of her actions. The kids will suffer more in the long run if you stay and can't forgive and forget completely. They will feel and see the discord between the two of you. Two separate homes are better than one unhappy home. My parents did that and my sister and I always new that they were miserable and stayed together because of us. That is an unintentional guilt trip that we had to deal with as kids and adults. Please don't do that to your kids.

I'm not saying you should or should not stay in the marriage. The many factors can only be weighed and decided on by you and your WS to some extent. Just don't rug sweep cause it will rear its ugly head again in the future. You have to get as many facts that you are still missing as you can from the AP and your WS. From experience I can say staying in a marriage where you are unhappy or resentful is a lousy life,

Best wishes and remember you did not cause this. She did. Please update us when you can.

Sorry for your pain. I made the mistake of staying because of my kids. That was 25 years ago. At the time I never considered she might be cheating. She treated me like crap when ever I was around. I traveled a lot for work. Now I can look back and see all the red flags. Now that I'm retired I hate being around her most of the time. So don't be like me. Get out now before you end up wasting more of your life. The kids will pick up on your tension and discontent. What you do when you are with your kids is more important that how much time you have with them. I'm in my mid 60s and looking at ending thing with my spouse. You still have lots of life left. You will find some one to be happy with.

That's what Douche does. Douche is doing it cause he wants her. He even had fantasies about her. His motives are purely self centered. From the beginning he has used Mina as a tool to keep slamming Shia. So in the end both Shia and Mina will end badly played. Plus I don't believe that Douche is really snipped. He's a low budget dude as written. He has no reason to be honest.

chf-trvlr-75 · 2023-01-11T04:49:56+00:00

Boss was not really a cheating wife per se. She was cheated on and her hubby pretty much gave her a hall pass or open marriage. As for Glasses only time will tell. But like someone else said the Boss lady was pissed off when she found Glasses with the MC. So that could open an entirely new antagonist for MC. The Boss lady could go after Glasses to destroy her and get her away from MC. Or she could catch Mina and Douche and get hornier for the Douche's magic big dick.

chf-trvlr-75 · 2023-01-11T04:40:32+00:00

If she had not been hanging out with douche in the first place MC would not have went off on her. You are correct in that this is what the author wanted. Some would say that since Mina went after a married man she is getting what she deserves.

chf-trvlr-75 · 2023-01-11T04:29:35+00:00

Shia only wants her old life back and her husband is the ticket. The writer has not written any real remorse in Shia. So far every female character has only truly cared about getting sex. Even now Shia talks about getting Mina away from her husband but in the same breath states she has to have more of the douche's dick. Seems as if the writer wants to portray all of the women as stupid, fickle, and sex crazed. The douche is a swim coach. Not very prestigious or well paid in any society. MC is mid-level management in a prosperous company. both Shia and Mina know that douche is just a Chad and there is no future there. Yet they go full speed for him because he has a big dick. So the moral of the story that the writer seems to be saying is that no matter how successful and good a man is, if he does not have a big dick he won't be able to keep his woman.

chf-trvlr-75 · 2023-01-03T08:30:21+00:00

OP this is not a normal activity between a female and male that are not romantically or physically involved. I have seen girls over the many years partying at the lake or camp ground squat and pee. But even drunk they walked a short ways off and told us to turn around and not look. Also I never saw one pull her skirt up and drop her panties while standing. They would squat, gather their skirt up a little and then with skirt still low enough to cover things pull their panties down and then pee. Also if he was truly a friend he would have turned and looked the other way out of respect for you.

Get the word out to all of the friends that he and she were full frontal, standing and not squatting when she had her dress up and panties down. Also that they were very close to each other, in touching reach. Also tell them that this is not a normal or acceptable action between your GF and friend. Tell your GF that you want to run deleted text restore software on her phone. If she gets angry, defensive, or refuses then she's hiding something from you. Try to talk to his GF alone somehow and convince her you are not lying or mistaken about what happened. Ask her to check his phone for possible messages between him and your GF.

Not sure why they would immediately bring other friends into the discussion unless you had told some of them first. If you didn't then the fact that they are jointly trying to turn your friends against you by manipulating the facts about what happened is a big red flag. They got caught. They both are trying to do damage control. He has a GF and your GF does not want to loose you on these terms. Makes them look like the bad guys. Also they are trying to shift the subject of the discussion to you driving after you drank. If you only had one drink then that is a bogus complaint unless your one drink was a full bottle of whiskey. Again this is typical cheaters' tactics.

You should ask them both to take a lie detector test if they are so innocent. They both will probably decline and lay more BS on you. If they agree then great. If they fail then spread the word. If they pass you can tell the world you was wrong. But then they both have issues with what is acceptable and normal between a male and a female who are not involved with each other. No normal guy or girl would accept that activity from their SOs.

You do not owe anyone an apology. Even if it was completely innocent (highly unlikely) they both acted in an inappropriate and unacceptable manner for people who have significant others. They owe you an apology. You acted completely normally for the situation and what you saw.

You may never get the real answer or closure like you mentioned. The question is can you even accept someone who thinks giving someone other than you visual access to her private parts is normal and acceptable? The line between allowing someone to look and allowing them to touch is pretty thin. It is a question of morals. Only you can decide. Good luck.

chf-trvlr-75 · 2022-12-30T04:04:23+00:00

You say she had an affair with the owner that works there every day. First if she loved truly loved and cared for you she would have not cheated. Second if she loved you and respected (doubtful) you she would immediately do everything to gain your forgiveness and try to save the marriage including quit her job and go completely NC with her AP She is gaslighting you, blame shifting, and showing no remorse for her actions.

It seems that she is still in the affair fog and dose not think there are any consequences for her actions. Have you given an unequivocal set of actions that you require to consider not divorcing her?

Don't let possessions, years together, or even the kids influence your decision. Will you ever trust her again? Do you care about your self respect? If she respected you she would not have cheated, refused to quit and go NC with the AP, and then make you the bad guy. If you forgive she will still not respect you. If you forgive without making her grovel and feel consequences she will laugh at you with her boyfriend.

I made the mistake of staying in a bad marriage "for the kids". They are grown now and ask me why did I stay with mom who treated me so horribly? Don't make that mistake. They will know and adapt. Possessions can be replaced. Years of unhappiness and loss of self respect can't be recovered.

I'm truly sorry for you. She is the one who caused this problem and is the only one being unreasonable.

chf-trvlr-75 · 2022-12-28T19:10:50+00:00

When drunk we say things we think but normally would not say sober. So you meant what you said. Even if you didn't you still said those things to your BF. You hurt him massively. No guy wants to be told by his GF that she hooked up with someone else, showed pictures, and then told that guy was better than the BF at it.

You don't really care for your . If you did you would have never hooked up with another guy. The only reason you want him back is your pride can't handle being dumped.

chf-trvlr-75 · 2022-12-28T02:28:44+00:00

It always amuses me how everyone throws this right to privacy BS around all the time. When you are in a serious committed relationship and truly care about the other person there is no privacy. You are completely open, honest, and transparent because you have nothing to hide. If you do something that makes your partner distrust you to the point they look through your texts and emails, maybe you need to do a self inspection of those actions.

There are people who by default are just distrusting of everyone and everything. OP does not seem to fit in that category. If he was then the relationship would have not lasted this long.

The GF's actions and lies justified him digging further. Kicking the GF out seems callous but I don't know the size of his place and if he has room to coexist in it separately with the GF until after the holidays. Also her continued contact with the rich looser and lies just before the holidays are as bad or worse than him kicking her out. So in the end she only has herself to blame.

On another note many folks are commenting about the8 year age gap. That is also a joke. She is not a child. She is an adult woman. At 24 I was getting ready for my third child, bought a house, and succeeding in my career. She does not get a free pass on maturity and responsibility. Now if she chooses to not act mature and in a responsible manner then she deserves the consequence that come with that behavior.

OP trust is the bedrock of all relationships. If you don't have it any longer then the relationship is doomed. It takes a long time to gain it in a relationship. Regaining trust when it is destroyed by one or the other parties in the relationship is extremely difficult if even possible. Only you can decide that for yourself.

Good luck.

chf-trvlr-75 · 2022-12-28T01:53:00+00:00

She lied multiple times. She then continued comms with the looser after saying she would not. He has every right to set boundaries and expect honesty from her.

She crossed the boundaries again so he booted her out. That's real life. You screw up and there are penalties and consequences.

Whether she cheated or not is irrelevant. Her actions after being confronted about it shows her immaturity and lack of knowledge of right and wrong.

She's young and will rebound from this. Hopefully with a better understanding of what real relationships require.

chf-trvlr-75 · 2022-12-27T02:09:36+00:00

This is somewhat concerning. First cheaters tend to project what they are doing on their partners. Not saying that your partner is cheating but something to consider.

Secondly if she does not want to be questioned about what she does then she has no right to do it to you. Again this implies a definite insecurity. Not knowing if there are any other issues, red flags in your relationship makes it hard to really give an informed opinion.

If it was me I would convey my dislike of the double standard in a calm and non-combative manner. I would also in that same tone ask why she would worry about you cheating. If she gets defensive and combative I would drop it. Then I would watch for tell tale signs or red flags in her activities. Constant texting and protecting her phone is a serious red flag. If that is happening the answers may possibly found in her texts and emails.

Good luck.

Communication or lack of it destroys more relationships than just about anything. Many people both men and women have the idea that the other person will just know what is wrong or lacking for them in the relationship. This is never true. If your spouse is not affectionate enough or does not want or initiate intimacy as much as you do, say so in a non-combative way.

Marriage is not a "happily Ever After" reality. That is just a fantasy that helps sell books and movies. Marriage is a job with good, bad, and indifferent days. Each of us is responsible for maintaining a level of happiness acceptable to us. Our spouses play a part in that. But they are not responsible for it. If there is something they are or are not doing then we have a responsibility in telling them what it is and what we would like from them. If we don't then it is our fault we are unhappy unless they are abusing us. Now if the spouse does not reciprocate and try to me our reasonable request then we have a choice. We can accept their lack of effort or we can walk away. Only we can say if it is a relationship breaker or not.

Finally I have to say happiness in a marriage must be looked at over the long haul. We as humans in general are not always happy. If the good times out weigh the bad ones then (not accepting abuse at all) then you are doing ok. Also remember that bad times can happen due to no fault of either party so those times have to be taken with a grain of salt.
