Re: Will it work in the longterm?

" Somehow the years I was enjoying being married were simply years of resentment building up in her."  

That's the thing, isn't it?  While we were acting in good faith they were engaged in resentment-fueled deception.

Re: Will it work in the longterm?

Thank you all for your advice. Another thing shocked me was that my wife broke up with the woman without any mercy (mostly because my wife thought the presence of that woman violate my wife's normal life). If she did this once, whether she will do the same thing to me one day.

This.   My GX had a history of "writing people off"...  her high school and college friends, family, the mailman...  This time it was my turn.    I was naive to think she couldn't do it to me..her life long friend and husband.

I would definitely pay attention to your wife's actions more so than any words.    The thing is, you shouldn't  have to to that..   That, I think, is the difference between us and them...we mean what we say and say what we mean.  If I say "I love you and want to be with only you forever"  I mean it and stand by it.   Its a scary thing to think their words and actions can change with the wind or tides (or what pretty person comes along).

Re: Will it work in the longterm?

After she regret coming out and wanted to be back home, she did a lot to nourish the marriage. I was wondering if she did these because her guilt or because she really love me?
