Do you feel like your wife showed remorse and tried to make amends? If she didn’t do those things, that may explain why you don’t feel like you’ve moved on.

And how can people be sure that no kissing was ever involved.

I don’t get it.

It's a ridiculous notion that gets a lot of air time here. You either had sex with someone outside of your marriage or you didn't. If you did, that's an affair. If you didn't, it's not. Either way, whether this guy's wife had sex with another guy or not, it's time to move on or move out.

I'll put it this way. Cheating can occur without full sex.

Call it whatever you want, but you fix what’s broken and get on with it, or you go your separate ways.

OP, this is six years forward and it still hurts. I agree with the idea to get a paternity test. But just the way you write, I wonder if this marriage simply cannot be fixed?

That seems so obvious I avoided posting it myself. having a hard time getting pregnant together so she calls in some help? It happens.

It's the most a cheater will admit to when caught with texts that don't actually mention the sex they've had. Oh, we just flirted a little. Nothing else happened, I swear it didn't.

I am not a forgiving person. I am never been attached to much, except for her. I just felt completely disrespected, which is also something that I really don't deal with well.

It sounds like your reason for holding onto it may be because it lets you blame her for your emotional issues rather than having to truly take responsibility for them yourself.

EA six years ago, you have a 6yo kid, I'd be getting a paternity test on that kid if I were you.
