Wow, I’m pretty shocked by this one! I have a large extended group of friends who are pretty open about this stuff. It’s always been either the sex was none/minimal or just robotic get it done style thus the affair. Maybe he never got around in his younger years and wanted to explore? Or he’s just a natural cheater, have to be some of those around past age 30....many of them before.[/quote]

His father was a bad alcoholic, serial cheater that left the family. We did meet in our mid 20s, very passionate. We are great friends and always been highly attracted to one another.  He is extremely high libido, always has been.  Mine is good.

He was diagnosed as having highly narcissistic tendencies with ability to compartmentalize.  It’s the need for extreme external validation, self entitlement and a bit of a midlife crisis .  Having some other narcissistic loser who will blow smoke up your ass and tell you that you are so wonderful Is a pure fix like a shot of booze.  They were both f@cked up people from severely dysfunctional families.

My therapist has said you would not believe how many marriages have this happen...and many never get caught.[/quote]

That’s some deep ingrained psychological issues. I don’t know how you would move past it, I would just always assume it’s going to happen again. if it’s not already happening and you just don’t know about it.[/quote]
