AFTER THE AFFAIR. THEN WHAT?

The previous reader's stress over his one-night affair sparked comments by others who are struggling with whether to confess their own trysts.  It comes down to how much.  How much trust was lost, how much will it take to repair the damage to the relationship, how much do you care to make it whole, and how much are you willing to work for your partner to love and trust you again?  After the affair, only the couple can decide if the relationship can survive.  I suggest you determine this before you work your ass off.

Dear Suze Q.   I had a brief affair I'm not proud of.  I chose to never tell my wife, or anyone for that matter.  Luckily, I'm not religious so I don't fear damnation and I vow to go to my grave with this secret. No need to make my wife pay for my stupidity.              --Learned my Lesson

Dear Suze.  I debated about revealing an insignificant affair, but the other woman called my wife before I could decide.  My wife is furious, and obviously very hurt.  She says I'm a liar and won't listen to anything I have to say.  I love her and want my marriage to work.  Can it?
