We've been married 11 years. Last year my wife had an affair. She also lied about it when I became suspicious. It went on for 3 months and I guess she felt guilty so she ended things. Then, 6 weeks after it had ended, the other man's wife found out and contacted me.
I stayed with my wife (but it was touch and go for a while). My wife and the other man have absolutely no contact anymore. In fact, things ended very badly between them (plus my wife was furious that he had admitted the affair to his wife, which led to me finding out).
The other man's wife and I leaned on each other a lot for support and to get through the pain. We were both absolutely blindsided. It's not physical in any way (or romantic at all). It's just friendship. And it allowed us to work through the upheaval. It's been a year now and we still touch base about once a month. We don't talk about the affair much anymore.
This infuriates my wife and she has now said if I don't give up this friendship, then our marriage is over. Does this seem reasonable? I wouldn't even know this other woman if it weren't for her cheating on me.
TLDR: wife had affair. I became friends with other man's wife. Now my wife says I have to choose.
