Yep. This. If you had flat-out said, "Yes, we made the beast with two backs, but that was long before you came on the scene," then that would have been one thing.



But now it looks as if you covered it up. And that's bad. Because your wife now wonders why you kept it from her.

Note to self:
Do not talk about your sex life with anyone. Ever.
What does not go in someone's ear cannot come out their mouth.


Married 33 years.

She's wondering what else you've lied about. Fair question. This may haunt you the rest of your time together. Hope you can overcome it. Good luck!

Well, everything went good. She understood my point, and I understood her point where I should've been more open to talk about it. She's pissed which is understandable but it'll be something that she will eventually get over.

Glad it finally came out and tbh she is right that I should've mentioned it as it's been in the back of my mind for so long.

Tell the truth! Don't allow her to ask you 'detailed questions' about it, that was before her time. You are a man and you slept with a woman. Nobody's business at all. Drop it and move on. If your girlfriend has a big problem with this, then do what you need to do for YOU. Wow.

Cool. Case solved!!

Did she ask if there are any others you have lied about?

I dont understand why you should have mentioned it or why she asked you about it.
Maybe its me but I dont provide a list of previous sexual partners nor do I ask about previous sexual partners.

Sheesh.

I've been married 30+ years. I am pretty sure my wife was not a 30 year old virgin when I married her. I wasn't, either. All I have ever asked her, is whether she'd been married or had any children. (She hadn't.) That's all I have the right to know. She has not asked me about my history either, except the same two questions (I hadn't.)

Never complain, never explain. The past is the past.

I don't think she's pissed so much at your sleeping with a co-worker as is you lied to her. Not being truthful can/will hurt you in the end.

I think it is ridiculous your wife is upset about this. Lying about it is not a good look, but about a matter that happened long before she was in the picture is not in her jurisdiction to have an issue with.
