My wife of 6 years and mother of my 4 young children just recently confessed to having a one-night-stand with another man.
The only reason I think she confessed(otherwise I think she would of never told me) is that she went to the doctor and found out she was given Chlamydia from the guy she slept with. She called me from work that day crying and telling me I'm gonna hate her and divorce her because there is something she had to tell me. When she got home and told me that she was drunk and she slept with this guy, I didnt know what to say or do. She also told me she did use a condom, which I kind of find hard to believe. My heart felt like it dropped to my gut, then I felt anger like I never felt before.
The next few days I kinda kept to myself , and I couldnt get that picture out of my head. She told me that she wouldnt go out no more or ever talk to the the "OP" again or anything, then I finally told her I forgave her. For the next couple of days things were actually better than ever, I just wanted to be with her and love her and hold her and not let her go, but after a week or so it started to fade off and I find myself picturing that over and over and getting mad. I try not to throw it in her face but I just get so mad I find a way to bring it up and start a fight. She always tries to say "it was a mistake I am sorry It will never happen again", but I dont know what I'm feeling right now. I feel like I need to get revenge somehow, but that probably wouldnt be the best thing to do. I just wanted to tell somebody so thats why I'm here.
If anyone has any advice or anything that could help me please do.

Repost your story in "Infidelity/General Questions II" forum. There are a lot more people at the forum to help you out. You need the proper MC to get through this. You can't just sweep this under the rug or it will happen again. Read up all the free info on this website, and get a copy of SAA to help you through this. You need to fix what was wrong with your marriage that allowed this to happen. You will probably find out that this was not a ONS, but rather an EA that built up until she was drunk enough to let her inhibitions go and sleep with the man. You need to find out what ENs weren't being met. Use this as an opportunity to build a great marriage instead of a mediocre marriage that was vulnerable to an affair.
