[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From what I have seen:  couples who affair pre-kids and the marriage ends - sometimes the APs make it work for the long haul.

Couples with kids who break up the family for their AP.  It never lasts.  OK, I am sure there are exception, but I haven't seen one yet.[/quote]

[url=http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/19/fashion/weddings/19vows.html?_r=0]This is your "exception"[/url], [b]although I think there are many more[/b].  Sometimes you get married to one person, and then your soulmate comes along. The heart wants what the heart wants. The couple here did things right. They built a friendship founded in their devotion to their kids, and then it turned into something more. They couldn't deny their feelings any longer, so they confessed their love to each other. Each announced to his/her respective spouse that they'd be leaving for the other person. THEN they consummated their relationship. Not one moment before.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this. Of all the affairs out there, I'd say less than .001% are the situation described in this article. And that's generous.

Some people think "the heart wants what it wants". Others think your spouse is your family. You are committed. You never stop trying to make it work. Loving someone else more is not a reason to leave a marriage. We'll have to agree to disagree on that, I venture.[/quote]
