Hey, Dr. John, how you doing? I'm doing great, man. How are you, man? Better than I deserve.
Excellent, excellent.
What's up? Yeah, I'm really grateful that you took my question. I'm calling my wife and I. We've been together for almost 16 years now. I'm married for a little over 12, almost 13.
We have been absolute best friends from the start.
And I've got three kids from a previous marriage. She has a daughter that I've had in my life since she was one year old. She's about 16 now.
We are a happy family. A couple short months ago, I uncovered an affair. And literally and figuratively brought me to my knees.

Chapter 4: How does the husband feel about the recent discoveries post-reconciliation?
The recovery process from that, you know, I spent the next two, close to three months. I initiated the separation. I still was not very sure of which direction we wanted to go. However, I knew that I absolutely, really loved this woman.
After a whole lot of kind of ups and downs, I...
I decided to sit down with my wife and talk about reconciliation as she was literally begging me to stay married and that we can continue forward. She's shown all the guilt, the remorse, everything that comes with the affair. So we decided, yeah, let's give it another shot.
Since then, even prior then, I've been seeing my own counselor, she's been seeing her own counselor, and we've been seeing a Gottman-trained marriage counselor. Since that reconciliation, it's been approximately three months, and we are... Super solid. Everything is going just absolutely well. There's a lot of reconnection. It's all very safe, very healthy.
Chapter 5: What challenges does the woman face in her parenting role?
But just recently, within about the past three weeks, I stumbled across something that I don't have any explanation for.
What happened?
Well, so...
You're circling the clouds like with your airplane. Yeah. Laying right in the middle of it, dude.
I'll get to the point. The way that I uncovered the affair... Don't care.
What did you find? What did you find?
I found a couple of pictures of her topless. Okay. That I have never seen before in my life. Okay. I looked at the file data. I know the timeline of when these pictures were taken. I know exactly where I was. These were never sent to me during that timeline. We didn't have any spicy talk over the phone. You know, I was home every night.

Chapter 6: How can the woman address her husband's lack of involvement in parenting?
Sure. Is this after your reconciliation or just in the past?
The pictures were taken six years ago.
Okay.
And during that time frame, we had a good, strong marriage.
Hold on. I need to challenge you on something. Is that cool? Yeah, man. Okay.

Chapter 7: What concerns does the man have about his girlfriend's health?
If you go back and listen to the first minute and a half of us talking, you've told me that this is your best friend. You had an amazing life together. You've got this amazing three kids of your own and this amazing daughter that you have raised. Amazing, awesome, wonderful, amazing, great. Ouch. Yeah, yeah.
Best friends don't start a reconciliation process and don't fully come clean with how deep this, their dissatisfaction, their own challenges, their own affairs, all that stuff has happened.
Can I add a little context for you? Yeah. My wife was raised very, very well. She had tremendous morals. This is a woman that never lied to me, never lied to her mother. The only thing that she learned how to do a couple of months ago is learn how to lie. She didn't learn how to lie well. She just learned how to lie.
Chapter 8: How can the man communicate his feelings about attraction and health to his girlfriend?
And when I did uncover the affair, I got a little bit of a background in this. I interrogated her. And it was specifically so I could see what tells she has. And it worked. I know every one of her tells. So since I have not questioned her yet about these pictures,
I kind of have to, like, I feel obligated to give the benefit of the doubt because perhaps, perhaps, even though I use the duck analogy, perhaps there is a logical explanation. I don't know what that is, but, you know.
Or perhaps. Yeah. Man, are you an interrogator for a living? No. Former life. Former life. All right. I grew up in the home of a homicide detective. Okay. Who was also a SWAT hostage negotiator. Okay. Being interrogated is in my DNA. I also worked student conduct for 20 years. I've been interrogating people my entire career. Okay. You and I both know
that the number one barrier for a good interrogator is their own ego. Yeah. And their belief that they have a superior detection system than anybody else. I promise you with all that I am, brother, you do not quote unquote know all of her tells. And you're needing to believe that is preventing you from feeling that the reality of the situation, not knowing it, feeling it.
I was raised with impeccable morals and I was a world-class liar. You know why? Because A, I had to be, and B, I was surrounded by a world-class interrogator. So the greatest gift you can give to yourself right now is to say these terrifying words, I missed it. And if you will metabolize that, then you'll have to do the scary work, which is I thought I was a guy that knew her and I didn't.
And then you'll have to say, if I can't trust me, then who can I trust? And that's a scary thing on the back end of an affair is, yes, people lose trust in their spouse, but there's a deeper trust loss in yourself. I should have seen it. Right.
And bro, if you can get there, and I'm literally thinking of you opening your hands instead of clenching them tighter, you're perhaps, perhaps, is you squeezing every, your hands are squeezed together so tight, your hands are turning white, your fingers are turning white. Perhaps, you know what, perhaps you're right. But the evidence in front of you, to use investigator language, is probably not.
Fair? And this is me talking to a guy, I'm telling you this because I love you. It's fair. Yeah. The greatest gift is not thinking I solved this because for a person who is linked up with somebody who thinks they know all the this's and that's and this's and that's, is once I can get around that system, I can get around anything. and that is unfathomably terrifying.
The greatest investigators that I've spent time with, the ones who do this at like the high, high, high level, are ones who regularly say, I don't know.
