How can I mend my wifes broken heart? I had a short on line relationship with a female, and during our time on line she would send me some provocative photos, even without me reciprocating. My marriage at that time was existant, and that was it. My wife spent alot of time away from home, going out on Friday and Saturday nights, and I got bored and/or lonely, and met a person in a chat room who had similar issues as me.
I never intended it to be anything more than some adult communication, not sexually oriented, just someone to get a differnet perspective from.
This other person was getting a little too interested in persuing a further relationship with me, so i ended all commmunication with her. About 6 months after I ended it my wife came across some pictures that she had sent to me that were in the My Documents part of my computer. I still cannot forget the look of pain that she had on her face when she saw them, it still makes me sick thinking about it.
She still assumes that I had a physical relationship with this person, and I never did. My wife got tested for STD's and everything.

Ouch- that is a tough one. You are going to have to rebuild her trust again. Even a EA is hard to over come, and with pictures that makes it worse. Can I ask why you kept them?

I did not know that they were there, my computer illiteracy did me in. They were sent through IM and downloaded and stored.

have you told all this to your wife? Have you told her how sorry you are? You are going to have to rebuild rebuild rebuild. She is hurt. However if this was indeed a long time ago and innocent I have a feeling that she will come around.

What has she said thus far?
