Re: struggling on how to make things right
As a female myself, SHE WILL CONTINUE TO ASK! I don't know at this point of her feelings, because everyone is different.
If you have to write it all down. Every little detail. Then give it to her.
Let her know that you know you have made a mistake and you are willing to do anything to regain her trust, NO matter how long it will take.
Also let her know what you have done to stop the situation between you and the other woman
You need to let it out. So you can feel better about yourself. While your wife needs to know so she can see where to go with the relationship between you two.
As for the children, try not to get them involved. This isn't their life. The children's life is to grow up and be loved. They don't need to see any of this.
Believe me, My father cheated on my mother and I had to hear and see everything. It hurts me so much because I did not want to see them unhappy.
Because you have not done anything physical, it doesn't mean you are going to get away from this. Your wife will be nit picky and you just have to let it be. She might be the person who will hold it over your head forever, Or she can forgive, but never forget.
Work on loving each other, maybe a date night will help you two. Make it a thing once a week or once a month. Something that you two can call yours and yours alone.
