I have been married for five years and my relationship with my wife has always been very good. We hardly ever blushed, and in my impression, there was nothing that could make us argue. Even if we had different opinions, she always said, 'Okay, listen to you.'.
I feel very fortunate to have such a supportive wife. It's ridiculous, perhaps this is also my negligence. My wife is so obedient that I never expected her to have a second heart towards me.
Last month, when I came back from a business trip and took out the garbage, I met a neighbor walking his dog in the community. We live on the 7th floor, and he lives on the 4th floor. He told me, 'Have any relatives come to your house recently?'? I was surprised, but I didn't. When he asked him why he was asking, he said, 'Oh, a few days ago when you were away, there was a man who often ran to the 7th floor and encountered him several times while waiting for the elevator, so I asked.'.
We are two households on one staircase, with no one living across the door. On the 7th floor, there is only one household, and I already feel something is wrong. In front of outsiders, I still pretend that it may be my cousin. Actually, I don't have any cousins. I always have to dispel my neighbors' confused speculations first.
I kept a secret and told my wife that I was going on a business trip for a week. She set out in the afternoon as usual and gently told me to pay attention to safety and not be too tired. I sat in a nearby caf é in the neighborhood until it closed, feeling restless. Actually, I didn't know what the situation was, but I believed my neighbors wouldn't talk nonsense, but... I still wanted to trust my wife at that time.
I waited until around 11 pm to slowly walk home. My heart was filled with butterflies in my stomach, and I couldn't explain clearly what I wanted to see and what I didn't want to see when I came home. My heart was very confused. When I got home, the door was actually open. I didn't know what to think and didn't go in directly. I instinctively knocked on the door first.
Almost at the same time, a sweet and greasy voice from my wife came from inside the door: 'The door is open, come in yourself.'.
I was completely stunned, and my wife was stunned when she saw me entering the door. We were all silent. Teacher, she is waiting for someone other than me. After seeing me enter the door, she seemed to have sent some message on her phone. When I thought about it, she had already deleted all her communication records. I didn't ask about the rest, I really don't know how to ask. She has been very careful these past few days and has been very polite to me. What should I do, just pretend not to know? I can't swallow this puffy air.

The moth of marriage cannot devour the originally beautiful emotions in a single day.
Which specific thing chilled her heart, or was her love for you disguised from the beginning, requiring more details of your relationship to understand. One party has already committed betrayal, and the fundamental relationship has been shaken. It is difficult for your trust in her to return to its initial state. Now, you should have a good conversation with her. She also knows that it's not good to keep it hidden. You keep it hidden and let suspicion expand. To be blunt, I want to know what happened that night.
If you give her the opportunity to express any dissatisfaction with you or this family, she can speak up openly this time. Also, let her understand that there is a need for mutual respect between two people. It is quite absurd to have ideas but not express them, blindly following and making mistakes in principles. How to live your life in the future? You need to discuss countermeasures, and it must be harmony on the surface, not on the surface.
If just because you are not at home and she feels lonely, it is up to you whether to forgive or not.
