Duncan, welcome to the program.

Hi, Dr. Laura. Pleasure speaking with you.

Hi. Thank you.

So I was calling because I have a dilemma that I want to pick your brain on.

I listen to you regularly, and I like most of your advice.

So my wife of 13 years was unfaithful, and we have two kids, 14 and 12.

And when I discovered, we tried to work things out, didn't work out.

And she ended up... Well, when you discovered it, what was the explanation for her behavior?

What did she explain to you?

I want to know what working it out meant.

At first she denied everything.

At first she denied everything, but since since i had concrete evidence she eventually admitted

that she was having an affair with this fellow from her work and um uh at first there were

uh i never thought I would be able

to do it, but I looked myself in the mirror and said, I want to make this work. And so we tried

to reconcile.

But what was, well, she had a boyfriend. So why would she want to reconcile? What was her

point of view? That's what I'm trying to get at. What did she tell you?

Okay, so the boyfriend was out of the picture once it was discovered, she said she wanted to work it out.
