I have a feeling that even if nothing happened and she tells you nothing happened you aren’t going to believe her. Not sure what you gain from approaching her about this.

Agree. Your anxiety now could have been triggered by micro factors you are picking up on. Been there. Check her phone on the sly.

There is no cure for a suspicious mind. OP, you are doomed to mentally torture yourself over a nothingburger!

I say this gently- as you age, sometimes anxiety increases. I don't believe this is about your wife or any potential affair. I believe you are displacing anxiety. Try to seek MD assessment to address this and it will improve your life and the way you are focussing on this (and possibly other things).

I'm sorry this is bothering you. Did you ever discuss this with her? It seems to be a tad bit too late, no?

Honestly, I don't really believe affairs are that much of a deal-breaker if your spouse is truly on your side for practical life: financial, parenting, and support.

In the time you have been married has she given you any reason to believe she has not been faithful? If no, get on with your life.

What do you want from her?

I would try to talk to her about it, obviously it bothers you. I wouldn't assume she loves you, for all you know, she's still having flings with other men.

Early in your relationship or early in your wedding?

FWIW my now ex connected with a former coworker, hence the “now ex” status.

You were not there. You do not know 100% if anything happened. Let it go, she loves you. Long ago worries. Live for today.Forget it because you have nothing to gain.
