Have any of you being in a situation where you have cheated on your spouse and when giving the actual story of the affair and what actually happened etc - that they are unable to actually believe it because the story itself sounds ridiculous - even though it is truth? If so, do you have any advice for me please?

@Blackheart,
Haven't been in that situation but, since your spouse already knows you're capable of lying, he or she is likely to no longer believe a word you say.

Your spouse must be hurting greatly. Lies upon lies.

Stop trying to convince him of this "ridiculous" event and concentrate on being a good spouse/partner.

Time reveals all, including the building up of trust. Unfortunately, it takes time for that to happen.

You sound desperate for trust to be granted ASAP, when YOU want it.

@PUNKEY,
Thanks for your responses -
I'm in no hurry for my spouse to trust me - I know she can't...
I'm not trying to convince her of anything either - she is questioning me - I answer her questions - but she is unable to believe the story because it doesn't quite make sense... it's not a typical affair type story - even I know how ridiculous the story sounds - however, I am providing her the truth of the story - she is unable to believe what took place.
I'm not desperate for anything to do with me at all.... I am desperate for her to start trying to heal - yes - so when I answer her questions - I'm trying to help her by giving her what she needs - but the truth is inconceivable to her... that's all I'm trying to say...

@Blackheart,
Have you asked her what would make her/help her believe what you are telling her?

@Blackheart,
Perhaps the issue isn't the odd circumstances, but the favourable to you slant you put on it when telling it?
