They don't want to give up the status of being a wife, even if they also have a career and work. Or people here wait so long to have kids, once you're in your 30s and stuck in a marriage, you feel you have to stay to be on a timeline to have kids.
It really isn't normal or acceptable behavior to cheat on a spouse and to have that type of a marriage.
I come from a working class family. My father was at home every night by 5:30 p.m. We were all seated at the dinner table every night as a family. It would have been very challenging for him to cheat on my mother, but I'm sure he could have.
It's much easier for people in DC to cheat. Lots of happy hours and business travel.
Oh please my exs AP sucked him off in the work bathroom. Cheaters can find a way. I'm sure your dad was just a decent man
I agree. I grew out away from DC. My dad was home every night by 5:30 for dinner, didn't do business travel or happy hours -- but he cheated! And my mom, again, no business travel or happy hours, and she actually worked with her mom for a number of years, cheated back. That said, they worked through that sh!t and are still together and are very happy.
And I'd still consider them both decent, good people. With flaws.
You don't have to be a cheater OR a decent person. You can be both. I know it hurts people to think that you can have flaws and make mistakes and do things that hurt others and still be a good person. But I personally don't judge somebody on just one aspect of their life.
