My wife & I have been married for 6 years with 1 son, and she recently said she wanted to trial a separation to try and fix things so we can continue on happier than ever. That was 1 week ago.
Within this 1 week, she has already had a full sexual relationship (ie not a one night stand - she has stayed at his place multiple nights, he's been to our house while I was away a couple of days ago, they chat all the time, etc - they're basically "dating"). They are new friends, and I am giving her the benefit of the doubt that sex started only this week, but I don't see how it can go so far so quickly.
I found this out yesterday when I checked her phone after some lies were told to me (I know I know... I've never looked at her phone before and I feel bad for doing so) and I wanted confirmation of what is happening.
I confronted her yesterday, and she feels that because we had just separated, she has done nothing wrong.
I disagree completely, however I'm trying to understand.
Is this cheating?
We have not yet discussed schedules for our son, or boundaries of the separation, or anything like that at all.
