It took a long time to recover from the affair. We went through marriage counciling.
It worked short term. We went through a group marriage class. It, too, worked, short term.
However, she has not let it all go. Should she? I cannot say. But I continued every day to be everything she could want.
Things were going well for a long time, and there was a time our sex life was unbelievable. We were at it every day. Many times multiple times a day. She wanted more. We decided to open our marriage. She slept with one of my best friends. I knew about it. I was okay with it. She hooked up with her best friend. I did not find out about that for weeks, but that was due to a miscommunication. She went on an overnight trip to meet a guy from online, I said ok and even found a babysitter for her.
It had not hit me until a few months ago when we went to a party together.
This was an AFF party. AFF is an adult chat / hookup website. It was where she and I met originally. It was after that party I realized how far I had fallen. On the drive we discussed what was going to be acceptable and what was not. We were in a good place and we decided anything goes.
There was this guy who was seriously hitting on this girl we had been friendly with. He would not stop. Nothing TOO much, but he was persistant. This friend ask da Missus to help get him off her. da Missus started talking, which led to flirting which led to her asking me for a condom so they could go out to the parking lot and fuck.
I did not handle that very well. She came back. We talked, and I told her that yes I knew what she was doing but it hit me harder than expected. But hey, anything goes right? She knew I was upset. Her reaction was to spend the next few hours hanging on someone else.
I forgave her. I have gotten past it.
She now has a new boyfriend so she can explore her side of the D/s relationship. We are both at heart subs.
She has a new Dom. All I ask is that they do not talk on the phone over the weekends or once I get home from work. She finds these rules as me "controlling her", but is attempting to follow them as she sees fit.
And if he calls, I try not to say anything. I try and let her do what ever she wants.
And every day, she asks for more.
