[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a therapist who works with the betrayed, there are life-long mental issues from betrayal in a marriage.  It is serious.[/quote]

Yeah, and as a therapist, you don’t deal with the people who have gotten through it and have moved on.[/quote]

This.

People are individuals. Individuals have different situations. And different feelings. And different priorities. Etc.

A meaningless fling isn’t the same as a long term romance.

Kudos to the OP for finding the strength to forgive and move forward. It’s likely the best decision financially at the very least...and potentially the best decision emotionally.

I’ve never cheated, and don’t think I have the morals that would allow me to cheat. Ditto for my husband. We’re the kind of people who crave monogamy and prioritize our family above all else. But if he cheated, I would do my best to move past it for the sake of my family and my own economic security and emotional needs. But that obviously wouldn’t be possible if my husband fell in love with someone else. [/quote]
