Such a great description. My wife was so delusional about her emotional affair she had the nerve to tell me she wanted to open the marriage up and be with one of her best friends husband. I shut it down a couple days later and found no evidence it went physical but it took months of therapy and self work for her to snap out of the fog but it was like having an alien take over the body of my wife. She was a completely different person for a few weeks. After months of therapy we did make it work. We had young kids at the time. It’s been 12 years since and we are still together. In a much better place but I’ll never blindly trust a woman like I did her before. Trust but verify.
