[quote=Anonymous]Ex-boyfriend from college who I became good friends with. He met his wife in college and I'd never known 2 people more perfect for each other.

While they were dating, he told me stories about his cheating. (I'm sure I only got a portion of the stories). Mid-20's they get married. He's still cheating but madly in love with her. They have a great sex life, but he just has "you're not the boss of me" issues.

All the flings don't seem to affect the marriage until late 20's when he falls in love with one of the women. It becomes obvious that DW knows, but she is too scared to leave him. He is truly her entire life. (He was her first kiss). Finally his behavior gets so bad she has to leave him.

Soon after OW dumps him. He's living on his own, dating many women but going to therapy, both individual and couples. About 7-8 months later, he meets another really great girl and starts to get serious with her. But still going to couples counseling with DW.

At about 9-10 months he realize, life could be good with new woman but similar to life with DW. There was nothing really wrong with DW. Why should he up end his life only to end up in the same place? He realized this was about him. Not the women.

On her end,  DW got a backbone and a life. She no longer was leaning on him for everything. So less than a year later they got back together. A few years later, after always saying they'd never have a kid, they decided to have a kid.

It's been 15 years since the affair and married over 20 years and very happy[/quote]
