The damage is done. For the rest of his life no one would be ever able to look at him without thinking about dick pics and sappy love notes.

I wouldn’t think he’ll regret the affair(s) - being “in love”, rather than just sex, is a pretty cool thing, “love colors everything” and all that “being alive” shit.
But he has to regret all those texts/photos being out there - no sane person enjoys your private life being out there for everyone to see.
And, yes, pain to his kids is the only real harm here IMHO.

Are you sure? The way I see it, his texting things about he would just love to have coffee with her in the morning demonstrates that he has spent very little real life time with this woman. And now he is discovering that she betrayed him. My idealistic heart would like to think he regrets giving in to infatuation when it was clear that he had some kind of genuine love and regard for his wife, at least according to their lovey dovey photos and comments about each other(which yes, I realize can all be for show.... but they looked like they had a solid love to me).

I think they were in love for a long time, but it faded as happens with long term relationships. We let all the day to day stuff and long-standing unresolved issues get in the way of having a truly meaningful relationship. One day you wake up and realize you don’t feel that spark any more. You meet someone else you don’t have that history with, and think you’re in love. It’s really just infatuation and if you stay with them for a long time you’re going to experience the same problems you had with the first relationship. I know this is a simplification and there are lots of different problems in relationships, but I think this is generally true.

I wonder if most people who dump their long term relationships for an infatuation do end up regretting it. I imagine a lot of people do have regrets later on when they’re older. I don’t think anyone should stay in a bad relationship, but thinking you’re in love with someone you haven’t had long-term experience with is a mistake. It’s all very new and fresh and fun and easy right now. One of them will get bored or annoyed that it’s not as perfect as they thought and it will fall apart.

My DH and I have had plenty of problems over the years. A few times I’ve thought of divorce, but I always come back to who do I want to be with when I’m older? Who is going to have my back later on? I want to be with the person I have a history with.

Everyone is different but I can totally see his “love” in his messages (ok, yes, technically it is infatuation). For many people it is the best drug ever - and it really is not about the person who is the object of it, rather just a glitch in your brain chemistry that is so darn enjoyable while it lasts (and it never lasts). In a way I almost sympathize with him - if he did it just for sex that would indeed be extremely stupid, this way there are some redeeming qualities to his behavior.

Wow, way to make excuses for his filthy behavior.

He regrets getting caught not the affair. Later, he will realize he regrets the affair too.

Yes, I think he will regret it when he sees his world crashing down around him.

+1 Many married people get infatuated, but only the filthy ones take it all the way when married.

Also, if you have kids, focusing on re-igniting your existing marriage even when that new person is just so tempting is really your moral responsibility, at least in my view.

Over the last several years, both couples have been photographed at glitzy events including the Vanity Fair Oscars party. Bezos reportedly propositioned Sanchez behind her husband's back while they honored the Oscar-winning film Manchester By The Sea.

He, according to the magazine, whispered to her: 'You can't fight chemistry'.


Barf. This has been going on since 2016? Does not seem like an infatuation to me, seems way more than that.

No it isn't It just gets drawn out when you are prevented from spending frequent, everyday time with the other person.

He will regret debasing himself and losing the respect of his children. His oldest kid is just entering his teenage years - it’s extremely hard to go back to school with all of this playing out in the media. The other three kids will read all the gory details when they get older.

Bezos has fundamentally changed - in an unhealthy manner - his children’s lives, their relationships with their parents, and their own views on romance/marriage that will impact their future relationships.

This is beyond f#cked up. While Bezos is to blame, I also question the National Enquirer and their cavalier willingness to destroy the lives of his innocent children.

He honestly thought that he could gloss over it all and cover up his actions with that grossly saccharine statement. He honestly thought that. He is a dumb man!
Dumb!

I was infatuated with someone I worked with for several years. Happened at a time when DH and I were experiencing major problems. Totally over it now and looking back I cannot believe I could ever think anything lasting might have come from that. I did not have an affair. If I had I'm sure I'd be majorly regretting it today.

I'm dying laughing at his text "I love you, alive girl. I will show you with my body, and my lips and my eyes, very soon". He has the creepiest eyes EVER, I don't want to see how they show love. Especially the really googly one.
