Is my wife having an affair?

[Runnytoast]

Thanks for the advice given. There’s certainly plenty to think about. I don’t like the idea of cameras and microphones etc and I wouldn’t accuse. I will remain on alert however and see. I’ll raise the topic with her in a lighthearted way and see how she reacts 

[trident_2020]

You don't "like the idea of cameras and microphones".

Well ok then.  Sounds to me like you'd prefer to keep your head in the sand rather than proactively seeking the facts of the situation.

P.S. Raising the topic in a lighthearted way or hard confrontation will get you no closer to the truth, whatever it may be.

You are weak... and that’s exactly why she is likely cheating!

you don’t want the truth. 
 

does she earn more money than you do?

[trident_2020]

Don't confuse fear for weakness.

Hire a private investigator then. The only real way to know, is to know.  Any man who enters your own house and checks your woman out like that in front of you clearly has 0 boundaries or respect.

She actually does but would that really be relevant?

[S2B]

I was just thinking you may not be so timid about find out what’s real if she made way less than you.

seems like money makes the rules in a case like this.

[S2B]

You asked if she is having an affair...

once you need to ask - it’s probably way too late - the answer is there.

Did you get your answers? Do you think your wife is having an affair and do you think you're paranoid?

My wife works for a small company for several years and is PA to the guy who owns it. He is very charismatic and they get on well. She enjoys her job and it suits our set up.

Last Christmas she returned from her Christmas party with a pair of designer shoes and said her boss had bought them for her. I found this odd but didn’t think too much of it. I later found out he’d bought her other gifts too at different times.

When covid arrived they set up office in my home. I was out in the week and the place was and still is quiet. I noticed at first hand how well they get on. They’re always laughing and whispering and just have a lot of chemistry. This bothered me a little but what really started me thinking was one day in the summer they were going out for a meeting and he came to collect her. When he saw her he complimented her appearance and asked her to turn around. He then looks her up and down and then grins at me saying I’m a lucky guy!

As I say I’ve no evidence and I don’t want to accuse her but they spend every week day alone in my home, he makes himself at home and he’s even showered there.

Am I being paranoid? He’s married also just for the record

I don’t know how you expect anyone here to know if your wife is having an affair based on the information you have provided. You have just as much information as we do, and a lot more. Would you believe anyone here if they said, “yes your wife is having an affair and I am certain”?

Fear is not weakness, refusing to act in the face of fear is.

Yes. Lower earners in a relationship do stay for the financial security.

No, it's not relevant. What is relevant is the "make yourself at home and shower"..

Work at home should resemble work at the office. People have set hours, perhaps a coffee and lunch break, but wear casual business clothes and more importantly keep those clothes on.

Is she having sex with him? Who knows . But you need to talk about boundaries and what takes place in your home.

Just discuss hours he's there, and appropriate business activity. He's not a houseguest. He can shower at home before work.

@Runnytoast  With all these lockdowns, why do you and your wife jointly allow another person in your home when he could work remotely like everyone else?

This is not a light hearted matter to joke around with. Going about it the way you’re doing is only going to make you look weak. Maybe this is just you. You need to read the book No More Mr Nice Guy. Then stop being the doormat. 
 

How will you gather any evidence if your not at home and refuse to use VAR’s or cameras?

If your not going to stand up for yourself or your rights as 1/2 of the marriage, your better keeping your mouth shut.

There was a guy on here years ago that went through the same thing. His wife told him that there wasn’t anything going on and that he was insecure. She ended up getting an STD from her boss and stopped having sex with her husband. He finally figured everything out and divorced her. The OM’s wife found out as well and divorced him also. This is not the first time we have seen this exact situation play out.

Because he doesn’t have the ability to say no. The same reason he has allowed this to go on for over a year. To nice of a guy.

You did nothing and continue to do nothing. 
 

Let them be, I am sure they will stop having sex in the years to come.

We can’t help you if you are unwilling to help yourself.

what did you expect when you posted here? To do nothing to change this situation that sucks? 
 

if you don’t change this - nothing changes.

I'm going to give you a non convential answer which is quite different to what everyone else here has posted. More spiritually based.

Relationships between people tend to follow energy patterns. Push pull - action and reaction. Your own behaviour, emotions and opinion on the relationship between her and her boss will actually effect and cause to manifest what happens. If your insecure, jealous and start look for signs of infidelity you will find these. You'll end up basically pushing your wife into having an affair. 

Seek and you will find. If you go looking for it your going to cause it to manifest.

If you grow a pair, don't go snooping around start acting with confidence, assertiveness, strength - speak to wife directly. Set ground rules on your relationship she won't. Insecurity - creates infidelity. Confidence creates fidelity.

I'm betting it'll end when the boss man's wife gets suspicious and hires the PI. You just know the rich guy's wife isn't going to stand for her husband staying all day at another woman's house, getting cozy and shopping online for shoes and things.

This is so not true. 
 

There are hundreds of post on here where the BS had confidence and was not insecure. 

Cheating has nothing to do with the BS. 

People cheat because they are selfish and lack morals.

The boss's wife might be banging her own affair partner. Living the life of wealth, in a broken marriage not caring what her partner is doing or who they're doing it with.

That's a bit like saying divorce has "nothing to do with" the partner being left. Sometimes it's mostly true.

Of course, in a cheating situation, sometimes the WS wasn't happy and that was ONE major driver of the decision to cheat. At a high level, an unhappy spouse has four main options: do nothing, work on the marriage, cheat, divorce.

Sure, the WS could have chosen a different path. But there's no doubt in many of those cases the BS had a LOT to do with their being unhappy in the first place.
