Over a year ago my wife saw some naked pictures that a girl sent to me, that I chatted with on line for some time. My intention was to fill a void that was lacking in my marriage, without actually having a physical relationship. When she found these pictures it was at least 6 months since my last communication with this person, by my choice.
Everyhting semed ok with our marriage until July, and ever since then my wife has become increasingly more depressed, and resnetful towards me.
My wife is my best friend, and I hate that I hurt her so, and I do not know how to make things better with her. I wanted to do counseling but she does not. What can I do?

sorry to meet you here. i would suggest that you go to counseling w/ out her if she won't go. at least she will see that you are willing to try to make things better. there are many on this board wiser than i, so listen to some of the "veterans", they/we will help you get thru this. good luck, it probably wont be easy,but most good things dont come easy <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> keep us posted ....arjdad

Welcome to MB. You will find alot of help here.

I guess my first question for you is.. Have you and your wife talked abotu what those pictures and this OW meant to you?

MC/IC would be a good idea even by yourself. One person can ge the ball rolling.
