“I stayed because he’s amazing.” |
Men divorce in higher numbers after discovering their wife had a sexual affair. |
Poor donkey. |
Men suffer even great psychological damage, and so do their children when mom is the cheater. |
I’ve observed the same. I think most men have zero intention of divorcing. Women that cheat want a new husband. |
| My husband left me for his AP. And then she broke up with him. |
| They do. My exhusband married his affair partner as soon as our divorce was finalized. You want hard? Try having the woman who broke up your marriage raise your children half the time. |
I can’t even imagine. I’m sorry. |
You live in a fairtytale. When a cheater’s spouse finds out, it unleashed trauma on the betrayed spouse. Even the most selfish cheater would have to be stone cold to not regret inflicting that on someone they had built a life with. And them when affairs blow up it’s not nearly as neat and tidy as getting a simple divorce. Kids usually find out about the affair and resent the cheating parent and end up with a skewed view of relationships. This does not all happen in a vacuum. |
| It’s rare if she’s married too. She’s usually looking for an exit affair and he is in it for a safe, no strings f@ck—somebody who wouldn’t tell his wife because she didn’t want her husband to find out either. |
These people are still in delusional fantasyland. They think they will never get caught and they are delusion about the true fallout. It creates a shit storm that lasts pretty much forever. |
DP here. No child of mine is stupid enough to think you can not have sex, stay married, AND expect your partner not to find an AP. You need to reconsider what it means to have "great values" if you believe otherwise. |
| Get off off DCUM. |
What in the world are you even talking about? It's just sex. Get over it. Nobody cares! A divorced dad "loses his kids" exactly the same as his wife does: it is called 50/50. And there is no LOSS when a sexless wife finally decides she no longer wants to be your platonic room mate. The thing you fail to understand is this: a sexless marriage is ALREADY over. Divorce is absolutely zero threat because there is nothing left to lose in the dead sexless marriage, only everything to gain by an affair to "save" the dead marriage. |
This is my bil still 20 years later. His wife divorced him and though he still has a relationship with his kids, it's not that great. They won't come to his home, nor is the AP allowed to theirs. He lives with the AP, but never married her. If his wife would take him back he would dump her in a heart beat. For Xmas he goes to his sons home, and the ex is there too. His AP visits her family, it's totally crazy. When one cheats and divorce happens everyone knows and it affects even the grand-kids. No one wants to visit various homes with APs versus one united family. My bil doesn't have much of a relationship with the grand kids as well which is pretty typical with cheaters. It's a domino effect, and the financial fall out often takes years to recover. |
