[quote=Anonymous]Obviously, having an affair is considered a betrayal that puts in question the integrity of the guilty party. Most people on DCUM feel that an affair is grounds for divorce with a great settlement in favor of the "betrayed" party.

But what about someone who decides they don't want to have kids after all, five years into the marriage?

When a spouse discovers/reveals that they want fetish sex or group swinger sex and insist on their partner participating?

When a spouse moves far away "temporarily" (under some pretext like helping out/caregiving for a parent or sibling) and ceases to have regular contact with the one who remains in the marital home?

What about someone who decides they no longer want to work in a career that makes a high income, fives years in the marriage?

What about someone who decides they no longer want to work, period, since the betrayed partner makes more than enough to cover their joint expenses?

IMHO, if a spouse does any of these things, that constitutes a betrayal that is on par with a husband who has sex with a woman he meets at a work conference after 4 years in a dead bedroom. There are support groups dedicated to betrayed spouses and counselors who specialize in this area. But they don't seem to include "victim" of these other betrayals. [/quote]
