[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ I think when you have that it is possible to get through something like a midlife affair—but when you didn’t have it and “settled” it’s harder. I also think a lot of women that cheat are ones that settled and are looking for exit affairs which isn’t the same motive as men. [/quote]
This is interesting. I’m one of those who settled and have never had an emotional connection/love with DH. I would not care in the slightest if he cheated, it wouldn’t break my heart because I’m not emotionally connected to him. [/quote]

I'm honestly shocked by this. Did you never date someone with whom you had an emotional connection? If you did, why didn't you marry them? How on earth do you marry someone you don't love? I'm a woman and I can't fathom wanting kids enough to do that. It is just wild to me. But then again, I was fine if we didn't end up having kids. We decided to try and I got pregnant immediately with twins and we're very happy about that but we also would have been ok without kids. So I guess I just don't understand thinking I had to procreate so badly that I'd do it with someone I felt nothing more for than the guy who bags my groceries. [/quote]
