Adultery · 4:34am Oct 22nd, 2023
I've written about adultery a lot, haven't I?
From Lost in the Night launching Shining Armor and Luna's affair into a key plot point of the Continuity to most recently Cadance having a one night stand with her father-in-law, it seems to be a recurring element. The strange thing is that, barring one time at a convention that never went beyond a flirtatious conversation, I've never had the urge to commit that particular taboo. Even in the lowest points of my marriage, I never seriously considered straying from my marriage bed.
My wife and I will be celebrating our thirteenth anniversary this January.
It will likely be our last.
This past week, my wife confessed to an emotional affair she's been having for the past year. Her planned solo trip meant for her to have some well deserved "me" time after two difficult semesters is actually a three day test to find out if she and the guy have a physical connection to match their emotional one. If they don't, we've agreed to try making this work again.
In the meantime, now that everything's out in the open, she's exploring other options by going on dates with other guys whenever time permits.
And me? I'm sitting at home because the boys can't be left alone, on the website that has been the one other constant in my life besides her, screaming into the void.
...
I don't foresee many adultery-themed stories coming from me anytime soon.
I am truly sorry to hear this news. I wish you the best and for everything to hopefully work out❤️
Damn. What a long life investment to put on ice. I hope it can be salvaged. I realize all relationships are different but it feels like people should try to work on their commitments BEFORE shopping around.
That makes complete sense, but on the other hand, at least for me, writing is the closest thing I have to real therapy for issues. Now might be the time. Wish you luck.
That really sucks man. If it's any solace it's better than it's all out in the open than you finding out years down the line.
oh no :(
I'm so sorry you're in this situation. I know it's tough, but it's probably best to start looking at a divorce. Unless you two are interested in exploring polyamory (and that means you finding other partners too and the love is still there), they way you describe it makes it sound like she doesn't want to make it work.
Good luck. Stay Strong.
Fuck. I’m sorry this happened to you.
That's sad. :(
Damn, that's just fucked. With regards to salvaging it, it depends on trust and willingness. If the trust is gone, it's gone. If she's going on more dates as time permits, she's thinking of it as a safety net. It's going to be painful and hard, but you need to take steps to protect yourself even if you both do decide to continue. Contact a lawyer for yourself, start documenting things, cover your ass as if the worst case scenario was happening. Home, savings, kids; all at risk now.
I hope none of that proves necessary, I truly do. But you and she have different perspectives and different goals at this point.

I agree. It's awful that this should happen to you, dude
.
Totally get why no more adultery stories. It's too painful. I hope things work out and you can regain that trust (or even try poly). If not, then I hope you can get things in order for yourself and your kids and make her see what she did hurt you and you won't take it or the hurt anymore.
Either way, God be with you and good luck.
I’d take the kids and leave if I were you. You aren’t her plan b
Just finding this blog now after reading your latest and good god that is horrible. How utterly horrid to do that to you.
Hey Jade, just found this. (I'm never on here.)
I'm sorry to hear this. I'm here if you wanna talk.
