[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m genuinely curious about this, read this thread a lot. Seems like there are decent number of husbands who have affairs, sometimes even years in length. But they rarely leave the wife, the couple either reconciles or the wife files for divorce. In my actual life, I only know of three instances when a husband divorced and married the affair partner.[/quote]

Because married guys think an affair is nothing more than fun activity. Married women think they are actually in love with AP. Guys would rarely leave their wives, married women more likely leave for AP. [/quote]

And those married women never get the chance because they’re married partners have ZERO desire to leave for them.  Its more common that men in happy marriages can have an affair.  Perel and Glass (top infidelity researchers) note that when women do, they are in unhappy marriages and looking for an exit.

I see sexless married guy is back, but even married men that still have sex with their wives have affairs for variety or escapism in midlife.  It’s not meant to be a permanent lifestyle choice and there is zero intention of leaving their wives/kids.

What throws a monkey wrench in these situations is when they are found out.  That married woman hand is now forced.  Her husband will want a divorce and the married AP she think she’s in love with and a ticket out of her marriage wants nothing to do with her.  The married guy is now faced with the reality of how much pain he has inflicted on his wife and has to look her on the eye and the ones with careers and older kids are likely to eventually decide they can’t live with looking over their shoulder and leave.[/quote]
