Should I be concerned?
Two months before our wedding, my wife emailed a man that she was dating just prior to our engagement the following: " I don't know if you want an audience watching this awkward moment. We could have a private meeting...wink wink...you know what I mean". I feel it is completely inappropriate language between them, she insists it is sarcasm and the "wink wink" means "just joking". Who is correct? Should I be concerned?

Be concerned.
Are you already married? If not, call it off until you get answers or figure things out.
If yes, well....I dunno. It could be messy.

Re: Should I be concerned?
If it was a one time thing, no.
How long have you been married?
What other evidence of possible bad behavior or infidelity do you have?

Yes we are married. This excerpt is from a long thread of communication between them spanning 6 weeks. Ultimately they switched to IM and the thread ended.

Wow. When did you find this? How long have you been married?

We have been married for 6 years, I just ran across the thread recently. What does the expression "wink wink" mean? SHe tells me it means just joking, proving the communication is harmless.

" I don't know if you want an audience watching this awkward moment. We could have a private meeting...wink wink...you know what I mean".
It is not clear what the "awkward moment" is. And wink wink is often meant to mean it's a joke.
But now the OP says this was not just one text... it was one of many over several weeks. That's a totally different situation.

I use "wink wink" all the time to mean I'm joking. We use chat at work... when I joke at work I often use one or two wink icons to go with it.
If it was only one message, it proves not really. There's no clue to what they were walking about.
But you said that there were many over a few weeks.
How did you find these chats 6 years after the face?

Like I said, the continued texts are what makes it very concerning.

Re: Should I be concerned?
Some other lines from the thread:
"Ouch, can't a girl get a break in this town?? Just wait till I see you"
"Well I know you have a really busy social life, so whenever you could fit me in =-)."
"Actually, I would like to meet soon....like asap, let me know when you don't have plans, I really need to talk to you."
"Yikes! I was very hurt when you blew me off, don't think that went unnoticed."
