“She writes me love texts, emails, and handwritten notes,” he said. “I have boxes full of them collected over 5 years.”
“She’s been to therapy and seems to have gotten a handle on why she did what she did. She even took a polygraph last month and presented me with the results and recording.”
“She did this on her own because she didn’t know what else to try. To sum up the results. She had developed depression, and the affair was basically excitement. It gave her a high.”
His wife never had any feelings for the man she cheated on him with, and she admitted their physical relationship was not even got at all.
His wife truly regrets her actions and loves him with all her heart. One question on the polygraph test was if she planned on being unfaithful in the future, and she honestly answered no.
He does want to find it in him to trust his wife once more, but he’s scared to do so.
“Even after the polygraph, I didn’t break, but I came close, and ever since I got those results, I have wanted to forgive her and move past this,” he continued.
“I still love her; I never stopped. Is 5 years a long enough penance? I understand what love bombing is, but has anyone ever heard of love bombing every day for 5 years?”
