[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Doesn't a divorce steal away far more time and resources from the family then having sex which is free?[/quote]

1. Sex is never free in the context of adultery. It's not a victimless crime. The cheater is injecting deception into the marriage, exposing their spouse to STDs, and usually complicit in the destruction of a second marriage (when affair partner is also married).  And before you start withe excuses about how terrible the betrayed spouse must be in the first place to cause the cheater to cheat.....  THAT IS NOT A VALID EXCUSE. If your marriage is so bad that you want to do something that will inflict severe emotional pain on them, get a divorce.

2. Divorce in these situations is typically initiated by the betrayed spouse precisely because they have determined that the marriage is no longer a healthy, safe environment for them. They chose take the financial hit and reduced access to their kids as the price for escaping an abusive situation. [/quote]

What if they are not having sex? It removes the STD argument and safety issue.

I think you overestimate how much people care about affairs if the couple isn't having sex anymore. You are projecting.[/quote]
