[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will provide a perspective from a friend that shed a whole new light on this for me.

She met her husband when they were in their mid twenties. Happily married into their mid forties. He suddenly starts serially cheating on her. Her friends find his tinder profile. He in fact starts dating another woman and moves to another city.

She is heartbroken and devastated but also confused. As, they did have a good relationship and were best friends. She does not react. He comes back and asks to go to therapy. they learn they he has severe emotional and self esteem issues from his impoverished childhood.  Furthermore, as her career took off and she became more professionally recognized, he felt insecure and that she did not love him. So he self-sabotaged with the fear of losing her.

After a year of therapy. They are back together. He never loved anyone else. He is grateful and happy and cannot believe she loves him that much. She is hurt but happy to have her best friend back.

Cheating is not about the spouse being cheated on or even the relationship. Its a maladjusted person's way of crying out. [/quote]

LOL ok.  This relationship is totally normal and healthy.[/quote]
