Its been 3 years since I saw that gift and discovered he was seeing someone (long distance while on business etc) He denied everything said I imagained it all. Since then , he has been a really good husband. I forgave affair but I can't get pass the lying about it. It is no use to talk we only argue, Its a he said ,she said situation. Dead end subject now. I tried for along time to get him to open up so I could get closure. I could never get through to him, he just said I imagined it all and was causing trouble NOW in the marriage. He is a highly principled man and I think he has his reasons for not being able to talk about it. I don't think he sees her and it was never a question of marrying her, was a friendship he needed at the time. I understand why he needed her. We did discuss our marriage and our major problem was dealt with and is no longer a problem. I don't undersand how a man can love someone and watch them go through emotional hell for 2 years. I was so depressed and not sleeping, crying all the usual things, but , this last year is better for me and I sleep better etc but it is often on my mind and I resent the fact that he denies me the truth so I can put this behind us. I have tried everything from writing to him, talking, saw 3 MC, all believed I didn't imagine anything b ut bottom line is, move on they say. If he hasn't talked now he won't. I just can't let it go and I want to. I can't get through to him the importance of honesty. He lied to me simple as that and I don't understand why. ANy ideas why he can lie so easily knowing I know the truth and yet turn around and be the nicest husband you could want. ??????

These people (WS's) prefer to go on and not talk about it. During the A, they are like drug addicts, can't help themselves. I suggest that you try to put it in the past, and forget about it. Your H is with you, time to bury the past.
