My wife hid an affair from six years ago and says I am crazy for being upset
The situation involves a 36-year-old man (OP) and his 34-year-old wife of eight years.
The core conflict began when the OP discovered, accidentally while using his wife's laptop, evidence that she had a brief, flirtatious affair with a coworker approximately six years prior.
When confronted, the wife immediately admitted to the affair, describing it as a brief mistake from a difficult time in their marriage and insisting it was irrelevant now.
The OP, however, feels that the trust in their relationship is broken and cannot move past the long-term concealment of the event, leaving him wondering if he is wrong for being unable to let go of the past in***elity.

The OP is currently struggling with a significant breach of trust stemming from his wife's undisclosed past in***elity, which she maintains is irrelevant due to the time pa*sed and its brief nature.
His inability to accept her a*surances highlights the deep impact that hidden history has on his current sense of security within the marriage.
The central question remains whether the OP is being unreasonable by fixating on a long-ago event that the other party has fully confessed to and moved past, or if the wife's decision to conceal such a significant transgression for years justifies the OP's current struggle to rebuild faith in their commitment.
