Obviously I don't know what religion you belong to, but I can say that from a biblical perspective, adultery is the one grounds a married person does have for a legitimate divorce in God's eyes. Read Matthew chapter 19, you need the context to understand verse 9 properly, but Jesus says "whoever divorces his wife, <em>except on the grounds of fornication</em>, and marries another commits adultery." Adultery is seen as breaking the sacred marriage arrangement that marriage partners enter into before God. If she is having another affair, well, only you can decide what to do about that, but the bible does clearly give you the option for divorce in this case. You may be right in thinking that an affair from 20 years ago may not be something to end a marriage over, as you have presumably forgiven her and resumed your relationship as a married couple. Perhaps it would be wise to get some counseling to deal with your sense of betrayal and grief, and to help rebuild your relationship with your wife. It may be that she is doing nothing wrong but you have simply grown apart, which counseling and talking openly together may help with. Tell her what you are feeling and what you need, you may be surprised to hear her say a similar thing. Dear Dieta, sorry to hear of your pain.

We remained together, raised one daughter, but its been very difficult. I can't quit thinking about it. Since the affair, my wife has wanted very little to do with me. I always seem to be less important than what she thinks needs to be done such as chores around the house, going and getting a coffee that seems to take hours for her to accomplish. I know that I am tired of feeling the pain of what happened years ago. We have few good days together. After all this time, I feel like I want to move on and try to find love. I don't know what to do. I don't know if it is right to leave since her affair happened 20 years ago. Just this last fall (200 she would sometimes leave for work earlier than she normally did. She would leave at 4 am and not get back home from work until around 7:30 pm. This was the same pattern she had done before when she had her affair. I am thinking that she may have done it again. I got up the nerve to confront her about it and naturally she denied it. I don't know what to do. The religion that I belong to will only allow divorce for infidelity. Like I mentioned it has been 20 years since her affair, that I can affirm happened. I know that I have been lonely and dealt with the feeling of not being wanted everyday since. The few good days we have together anymore, to me, just isn't worth the effort anymore. I just feel like I want to move on to find love but I don't know if I am allowed to because of my religion.
