Why I Cheated: My Wife Spends Most Of Her Time At Her Parents' House

I had an arranged marriage about 5 years ago. When we had met for the first time, both of us knew in our hearts that we're meant to be together. Followed by an instant yes, we got married and welcomed our first child after 2 years of marriage. Barring the fact that my wife always cribbed about staying with my parents, everything was pretty much hunky dory in our lives. However, once the baby came into our lives, my wife just changed. I had heard that women experience a loss of sex drive postpartum and we spoke about it at length too. She told me how she needed to feel confident in her skin and I was okay with her taking time to feel good from inside out.Also read: What started to irk me was when my wife would go to her parents’ house for days at a stretch. Be it my birthday, our anniversary, a long weekend or even some festive function, my wife was missing in action. It goes without saying the baby would accompany her wherever she went. She was almost never at our home, forget spending quality time with me. For three years, I literally tolerated that somehow. I broke down so many times that I have lost count of it now. My wife literally became emotionally and physically unavailable to me. Her parents too never put sense into her that she needs to give me time and spend time with me. Instead, they would always call her up to ask her when she’s coming next.Also read: Tired and hapless of the entire situation, one day I randomly signed up on an app. I still don't know why I did that and what I was looking for, but to date that has been the best decision of my life. I met someone on the app who is simply too caring, loving and understanding. I experienced love again. I confided in her that I was a married man who was going through a rough patch in his life. She understood and comforted me. What’s surprising is we don't typically have a symbiotic relationship. I can offer her nothing in return for her kindness and her time that she devotes to me. For the longest time, it was a platonic relationship between the two of us. However, things changed one day. We had met over a couple of drinks and didn't realise when we got sloshed. One thing led to another and we ended up spending a night together in bed. The passion, chemistry and connection between us is simply unparalleled. Since then we have been spending hours and hours in bed in each other’s embrace.Do I feel guilty about cheating on my wife? Well, I feel for that to happen my wife needs to take a few lessons on what being a good wife entails.
