MOTIVATION-
There has to be a reason why. She could just think the guy she is having a fling with is hot(most spouses never even have the idea of an affair ...[text shortened]... hat to happen there has to be blockage(ie something wasn't healthy in the relationship)
Insightful applied behavorial psychology. Should be helpful to him.

Color me impressed.

No she won't. Not if she's read this thread or any other "girly" magazine.

If you suspect she's been having an affair that long and you haven't asked her directly, I'd say you have a lot of problems. If you can't ask, can you write her a letter? And if you found out by spying on her that she was, what would you do then?

And this helps how? I am pretty sure that he already knows this.

If you are married (which, I believe you are), you know that marriage is complicated. There's no simple answer for the kinds of problems you have when one spouse has an affair. He might forgive her anyway. He might stay, given that he's stayed this long. Perhaps I should have said, "When you get confirmation, is the marriage going to be over? Is there hope from this that you can rebuild?"

I don't think a barrage of words is helpful either.

Why do you suspect her?

The simple question "do you love me" will give a lot away in reply. 😉

She could always reply with "what do you think?"

He should persistently ask her if anything is wrong..then when he finally gets an answer he will have a good idea of what she thinks is wrong with the relationship. Once he knows that he will know if she has motivation...couple that with his suspicions and he will pretty much know if she has or not(ie if she has motivation then there is a good chance she is cheating if she doesn't there is 0 chance she is cheating.

It can all mean something else as well, so don't jump to conclusions.
There are a thousand reasons for people's body language. Just because she has her arms folded and doesn't look you in the eye doesn't mean that she's been cheating. It could mean she's had a negative scan or that her mum's ill or that s e. Various scientists of very unreliable sources have pinned that date on 2012.
One problem with asking her is that if you're wrong, you're never gonna hear the end of it. Even if you're right, she'll manage to make it your fault, like 'If you were man enough to satisfy me, i wouldn't have to look elsewhere'. Another, of course, is that she might simply lie to you, and then you're no better off than now - you're still wondering.

Get the PI - it's real-life stuff, happens all the time, most are ex-cops. then you've got the evidence if she's guilty, and if she's not, she need never know you suspected her.

She can try to make his fault all she wants. They will both know who's fault it really is and she will be the one to live with a guilty conscience(if she still has one) for the rest of her life or until she gets dementia and forgets all about it. If a woman tried to make it my fault and I was the one providing everything for her...I would tell her, "If you can't get everything you need from me then you don't get anything at all...go get it from that other guy" and then I would file for a divorce.

another issue is that if she's playing around, is she taking precautions to protect her sexual health, and yours? you wouldn't want to get an STD through no fault of your own. i think that makes the question of finding out what's going on more urgent.

Tom, appreciate your psychological tack... the guilt ridden

usually suffer emotional revolt, then blackout of the soul.

I developed this well thought out plan and placed into action, yesterday after work I went to my brother's house and barrowed an old pair of socks. Then I went home to put my plan into action. I went into the laundry room and took clothes out of the dryer and mixed in my brothers socks and carried the pile to the couch where I began to fold them, when I got to the pair of socks I asked who socks are these they don't belong to me or the kids and I put them aside in the misc pile, she picked them up and examined them and said oh these must be my dads he was over yesterday visiting with the kids. I said ok and left it at that. Now I am not sure exactly where that leaves me, but I have taken the day off to get my act together.
