“MY
WIFE’S LOVER
My
wife is having an affair with a government executive. His role is to manage a
project whose progress is seen worldwide as a demonstration of American
leadership. (This might seem hyperbolic, but it is not an exaggeration.) I have
met with him on several occasions, and he has been gracious. (I doubt if he is
aware of my knowledge.) I have watched the affair intensify over the last year,
and I have also benefited from his generosity. He is engaged in work that I am
passionate about and is absolutely the right person for the job. I strongly
feel that exposing the affair will create a major distraction that would
adversely impact the success of an important effort. My issue: Should I
acknowledge this affair and finally force closure? Should I suffer in silence
for the next year or two for a project I feel must succeed? Should I be “true
to my heart” and walk away from the entire miserable situation and put the
episode behind me? NAME WITHHELD”
