Question: 

My wife and I are 4 months out from our D-Day. For 2.5 months she tortured me with trickle truth. Eventually I brought up the idea of a polygraph, and she agreed to take one. Unfortunately, she failed on 2 of the 3 questions. One question she failed was regarding ongoing contact with one of her affair partners, and she came clean about that. The 2nd question she failed was whether there were any more inappropriate sexual behaviors since we have been exclusive. She claimed to have no idea why she failed. The question was perhaps too generally worded, so she scheduled a 2nd polygraph. This time the question was asked very specifically if there were any other people not disclosed that she engaged in sexual behavior with. She failed that question again. She feels extremely frustrated as she swears that she is telling the truth. She says she would not have gone in for a 2nd polygraph holding on to a secret. I can’t help but think she is still hiding something. She’s failed 2 polygraphs now, and history has shown that she has never offered up an affair partner that had not been somehow discovered by me. She is very mired in shame and hates to talk about her affair behaviors. I feel very stuck. I can’t see how we could possibly move forward together with the idea that she is still lying. Are we at the end of the road?
