I discovered my wife was having sex with another woman. She admitted it and promised to stop. I have tried to believe her but it is not working. She wants to carry on seeing the woman but says they won't have a physical relationship, does anyone think this will work

No absolutely not. Have you read about the emotional needs questionnaire? When a woman cheats it is usually because her emotional needs aren't being met.

Hi gra
I'm sorry you are here. Read all the information this site will provide you and keep posting.

I'll say is time to do a plan A. Also ask for Just J, she might be more experienced in those kind of relationships. Post to her.

Take care

Hello GRA:

Of course it will not work. She betrayed your marriage and engaged in sex with another person behind your back. If she had sex with another man and she told you I still want to be friends with my male lover but I promise I will not get physical again - what would your reaction be?
It is exactly the same. You would never say go ahead and be friends with your male lover but I trust you that you will not have sex with him again.
Marriagebuilders believes that No Contact is absolutely essential. You are deluding yourself if you think continued contact with her female lover will not be damaging to you and your marriage. Please seek counseling and open your eyes. Your wife has been cheating on you and wants to continue the relationship with the promise that she will not have sex again with this person. I think you would have to be out of your mind to accept this. What kind of remorse is this? It sounds like none.
