<human>: Original post:

OK, so new information has come to light.  I contacted the other man.  He didn't have anything to say, so I dropped it.  But, when I saw my wife after work, I told her I'd talked to him, which was true.  I asked her if she had anything else to add now that I'd talked to her affair partner.

It all came flooding out.  She didn't have the affair 7 years ago. The affair had ENDED seven years ago after being an on again/off again thing for two years.

I raged.  I screamed.  I called her every name under the sun.  I kicked furniture across the room. I'm not proud of it, but 7 years of bottled up anger came out in 30 minutes.

If it hadn't been for the years we've had together since the affair and that we have a daughter, I'd have walked out the door.  I'm angry. I'm hurt. And I feel alone. I can't trust anything that comes out of my wife's mouth anymore, but I'm not leaving yet.

She gets one more chance. ~~In that time until I say otherwise, her ass is mine.  I get full access to phone, phone records, email, texts, EVERYTHING.  I am installing a tracker on her phone so I can know where she is at all times.~~

Counseling starts immediately. At some point during counseling, she'll call the affair partner on speakerphone and we'll attempt to verify her latest version of events, though I find it difficult it could get much worse.

I'll give her this, she's very aware of just how badly she's fucked up and is willing to bend over backwards to make us work.  This'll all get sorted out one way or another in counseling.

I feel like an emotional pendulum right now.  I go from rage to weeping to emptiness to love and lust back to rage.  The quiet moments are the hardest, when I'm alone with my thoughts.  Work gives me something to concentrate on.  I hug my daughter a lot.

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: I contacted the affair partner and even though I didn't learn anything from him, I was able to use that as leverage to get her to tell the whole truth. Rage ensues.
