The wife discovered her husband’s resumed contact with a past lover in 2009 led to separation, years of counseling, and ongoing marital strain without forgiveness.
- In 2010 the wife discovered her husband of 47 years had resumed contact with a woman from his past after a 2009 visit and frequent phone calls.

She had a child three months before we met and wanted him to marry her but he refused because he had learned that she was also intimate with someone else at the same time. When I confronted him with the information about this, he lied to me.
