Michael and Daisy met 6 years ago and became good friends.
after 4 months Daisy moved to another city and Michael also joined the same organization to be with her within 3 months.
after 3 years of courtship they decide to get married.
it was tough for Daisy to get her parents approval, but they managed.
Immediately after marraige, they move into same organization to anothe major city. invest all their savings in a European honeymoon trip.
They own a car, stay in a rented apartment near to office and travel together. both earn good and do whatever they feel like, support each other in what they want.
After one year of marriage they both invest in buying a house as well, for which they would get possession after 5 yrs.

Michael is a person who doesnt dream big, is hard working but is little laid back and is mostly satisfied with the life.
At one side he always complaint about Daisy buying big brands and spending more than required (which is againts his nature), but same time he also gives her credit to make him chase more in life.
Had Daisy not been in his life, he might not have bought a car for another one year, would have not spent much on a foreign trip and would not have thought of buying a house for 2 yrs.
Michael calls Daisy the drive of his life.

Daisy is a person with big dreams. She always tries to achieve more and more and is a fighter. She is great communicator with impressive personality and also believes in little show-off to friends.
At one side she always complaints about Michael not being forward to things, but same time she also gives credit to Michael for being the matured partner who evaluates the risk and helps her take the right decisions.
She feels Michael always supports her and gives her confidence in all situations.

On a scale of 10, Michael is 7 good in career and Daisy is 8 good in career.

8 months of marraige, at this point in life, Michael and Daisy are very happy and dont need anything else from life.
9th month, Daisy shares her dream with Michael that she wants to live abroad for few years or may be settle permanently. She says this is the biggest dream of her life.
Michael is very satisfied with current life and as per his nature he initially hesitates but seeing her desperation and growth opportunity in their career, they decide to give it a try for few years.

Initially they decide that Michael would find a job abroad first and Daisy would follow. Michael tries for 8 months in diferent directions and possibilities but no success.
meanwhile, Daisy also tries and suddenly finds a project abroad.
This is how Michael and Daisy evaluated the opportunity :
Accepting this means, Michael and Daisy would have to stay apart till the time Michael also finds a job himself in vicinity. It can take any number of months. if he is not able to find Daisy can anytime come back and retain her job.
Refusing means, they might have to give up hope of staying abroad.
Michael initially leaves the decision to accept the offer on Daisy because he wants her to decide her comfort levels and priorities, but he assures her that he will support her in any case.
As the deadline to accept approaches, Michael accepts his failure to find an opportunity himself and advises Daisy to accept it because they both see this as the only possibility to make the dream come true.
Michael feels if he cannot make Daisy´s dream true himself, he would support her to any extent when she has found the option herself.

After 1.9 yrs of marriage, Daisy moves to Europe. They both decide that Michael would try to find a job for 6-8 months or otherwise she would come back. In any case they would try to meet every 3-4 months.

This is their life for next 6 months :
Michael : Michael continues in same job abd keeps trying to find a job in Europe. He immediately understand the need of personal growth to achieve it.
Within few months he works a lot on improving his skill set and also starts learning a european language.
First time out of couple life, he also understand the impotance of a social life (this is also a complaint of Daisy that he is not much social and doesnt have friends) and occassionally starts hanging out with male colleagues.

Daisy : First time working on a client site, Daisy is very happy professionally. She finds a very helpful senior colleague Alex who helps her extra mile to make her adjust in the tough demanding environment.
Daisy also finds a very good friend in him and being new in the city, starts occassionally hanging out with him. Alex is struggling in his personal life and is planning to divorce his wife.
Daisy becomes sympathatic towards him and provides him emotional support as a good friend. She also goes extra mile and talks to his parents and wife to help him.

Michael and Daisy both miss each other and decide to meet after 3 months of initially staying seperate. Michael visits Daisy in Europe.
On the trip Michael notices that Daisy is on phone with Alex too frequently even when on holiday and doesnt like her giving details to him about stuff like where she is, what she is doing, what she ate etc.
He complaints to Daisy and she expalins that its casual. They have few fights on this on the trip.
On the visit, Michael gets to know that Alex has a issue in her family where his wife accuses him of being in an affair with Daisy, as all of a sudden his bevaiour towards his wife has changed a lot.
Michael also reads an email sent to Alex's wife by someone unknown who warns her of a possible affair between Daisy and Alex. Daisy and Alex explain that it is out of jealousy of their friendship.
Michael also gets to know that Alex has written some praises to Daisy in a personal message. Also Daisy to Alex that she misses him.
Michael talked to his wife Daisy and trusts her that it is in a good friendship way. Michael talks to Alex's wife and tries to convince her that he feels everything is normal.

Michael has a serious talk with Daisy and advises her that Alex is in hope of a relationship with Daisy and she should take care and not discuss anything beyond profession with him.
He advises her not to provide soft shoulder to him as it would fuel his emotions. He shares his worry about the situation.
Daisy understands and agrees to follow his advise.

After 3 months Daisy visits Michael. Everything is fine except that Michael is bothered with Daisy talking to Alex frequently.
He doesnt like it but since he trusts Daisy, he frowns but doenst say much. They do have occasional fights with Daisy complaining that he is overreacting.
In another incident Michael notices that Daisy always deletes Alex's chats and when he asks for reason Daisy tells him that even their parents dont like her talking to Alex, so she is hiding it from them.
While Daisy is returning back, Michael and Daisy have big fight due to same issue and Daisy promises (swears oh Michael head) that she will not talk with Alex as it hurts Michael.
Daisy goes back and within few days she meets Alex and talks to his parents because they are very worried. His parents tells her that Alex wants to be with her and is breaking his marriage.
Daisy tries to hide this from Michael but he gets to know (as Daisy was avoiding talking to him at that time and she admits after questioning) and they have a huge fight as she did not keep her promise.
Michael is fed up of fights and convinces himself that he should trust Daisy and decides not to question her again.

After 3 months Michael again visits Daisy. This time he doesnt want to meet Alex. Michael and Daisy have a fight on this as Daisy considers Alex to be a good friend and takes it as an insult for Alex.
One day Alex suddenly visits Michael and Daisy at home because Daisy is not talking to him (because Michael gets disturbed). Daisy tells him to go away and doesnt want to talk to him.
Michael and Daisy have a fight as Michael holds Daisy responsible for Alex's behaviour.
After some arguments with Daisy and geting convinced, Michael decides to meet Alex and they have casual meet before Michael leaves.

in some time, Alex changes his job and moves to another nearby country. He tries his best for Daisy also to join his project.
Michael and Daisy are convinced for Daisy to join that project as the country has better job prospects for Michael as well. but the process takes a long time.

meanwhile Michael has finally found a job in Europe and moves to an adjasent country to Daisy. Michael and Daisy are now married for almost 3 years.
Daisy visits him. but on this trip Michael is being very causious of relation between Daisy and Alex. He decides not to have blind perceptions and rather tries to sneak into Daisy's phone.
He finds that they are having chats about love and relationship between them where Alex is expecting from Daisy not to have any physical relation with Michael.
He notices that it happens for few days and finally he decides to bring this in front of Daisy.
They have big fight and Daisy tells Michael that she had a weak moment where she told Alex that she is in love with him. but this happend recently and she doesnt feel that way and was trying to get out of it.
She says that she was worried about violent behaviour of Alex thats why she could not stop talking with him abruptly. She insists on the fact that she didnt talk to Alex for few months and this has happened only recently.
She also shares an incident where Alex forcefully came to her house and she filed a police complaint againts him.
after few days of disturbance, fights, crying.. Michael and Daisy decide to move on in life with Daisy promising that she would not keep any kind of contact with Alex.

in one month Daisy visits Michael again. she notices a drastic change in Michaels behaviour. they have fight about it and Michael tells her that he feels cheated and is not in same emotions.
Michael checks Daisys phone and finds that she has talked to Alex multiple times. Daisy tries to deny it but finally admits and says that she wanted to tell him that not talking to him is her own decision as against what Alex feels.

Michael is deeply hurt that she broke his promise again and decides to end his relationship with Daisy. he feels humiliated by her.

@rack,
Lordyaswas picks up his tablet and logs into A2K. He scratches a nagging itch, settles back into the couch and takes a sip of his extra choccy mocca.
He reads the first paragraph and is just about to start on the second when the phone rings. He puts down the tablet and makes his way to the phone, promising himself a ginger biscuit when he returns....

@Lordyaswas,
Good start to a somewhat turgid and tedious little story. Finish the ginger biscuit, but not the story.

@roger,
Aswas gets fed up arguing with a double glazing telesales man and hangs up. He almost turns right to go back into the living room but remembers the biscuit, walks across to the jar on the worktop and notices the message from Roger. Not only that, he notices that Roger has taken the last ginger biscuit, leaving only the stale digestives.....

@Lordyaswas,
Stop. I said STOP!

Unless you're working up an entry in the Bulwer-Lytton, of course.

@roger,
Two minutes later and Aswas is prodding the digestives to see if they've firmed up after a spell in the toaster. Cursing Roger and his ginger addiction, he notices another typed note stuck under the eiffel tower fridge magnet.
"Who in the heck is Bulwer-Lytton....hot, hot, HOT", he thinks, whilst tossing a hot digestive from one hand to another....

@rack,
I read the entire original post, probably because I had nothing better to do while waiting for my lovely wife, who works in the same area I do, fyi, to pick me up from my office. If she ever comes up with a plan to move to another country, just for the experience of living abroad mind you, I will now know to nip it in the bud. Just nip it. In the bud. Because with my luck she will meet Alex and all will be lost.

If the OP really really needs any advice before moving forward, well, here it is. DITCH THE BROAD.

Now I pray my wife gets here soon so I can refrain from reading any more posts from people who do not have enough common sense to see what is right in front of them.

But I probably will.

@rack,
It sounds like you are willing to do anything for your spouse...but she is more into herself, needs and emotions. She has lied to you consistently. Buyer beware. She has had an emotional affair with Alex (at least that's all you know), but it may be greater than that. Don't loose your own identity and become her narcissistic supply.

Daisy held things from you before you even got married.

Before marriage, you are meant to understand each others dreams, goals, expectations so you can grow old together. Seems Daisy had a plan but forgot to tell you, until she married you and you let her live that dream probably because you didn't want to loose her. But she held secrets way before you married her.

Hello All,

Thank you for your replies.
I have following questions/feeling, please let me know your opinion. I would appreciate if you can express yourself in detail regarding each point.

1. Michael is to be blamed for this as he failed to convey the seriousness to Daisy all the time.
2. Daisy was right on her part as it was only professional friendship (except one weak moment) and time and again Michael agreed to their professional relation.
3. Daisy could not understand what Michael was trying to warn her of, she took care all the time but had a weak moment for which she apologized enough to Michael. She broke her final promise only to make sure that Alex doesn't keep waiting for her.

@rack,
1. Michael is not to blame as Michael warned Daisy more than once and Daisy did not want to hear.
2. Daisy told Alex she loved him, then called the police on him, but then continued texting him Michael can not see that as a professional relationship.
3. Daisy is married she can not have a weak moment if in love, Daisy kept texting him after.
4. How do you know Alex is not waiting for her still and that she does not have feelings, she told him she loved him.

update..

it has been 5 months that Michael told Daisy that he doesnt feel like continuing in this relation.
Michael had the impression that Daisy would accept it and see it at a possibilty to try out her relation with Alex.
To his surprise, Daisy reacted in a strange way ! She behaved as if this is end of world for her.
She got severely ill and did not see any hope in life. She got hospitalised multiple times.
Sooner, she started threatening Michael with suicide and also attempted to do the same. She was forced to visit psychatrist by doctors.
She even pressurised Michael through her and his family a lot, using all means.
This was strange for Michael, as he felt that Daisy is behaving egoistic as by forcing someone into a relation she cannot get the love.
Because of all this he could not cut his contact with her and they even visited each other.
All these visits were stressfull for both because of eliviated heated debates and fights, even the neighbours called the police,
they both attempted suicide.
Daisy was only on one point that she wants him to try again and Michael had lost all hopes in life and did not want to enter same life again.
Same time Daisy is all the time threatning him to put legal alleagaions and get him arrested for ditching her for not so big reason.
During one visit Michael also got to know that Alex had visited Daisy recently !
she explained that due to all this stress and hospitalisation she wanted to talk to a "friend" to discuss about her profession.
Michael all the time proposed to be friends saying he does not see Daisy as a partner anymore.
Daisy is trying everything to try out the relation atleast for few for months.
meanwhile Daisy is joining Alex in same project with reason of professional growth and the only possibility to be in nearby country as Michael.
