[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Man here:
If my DW had a one-time fling, I wouldn’t want to know. Ignorance is bliss. She can make it up to me with unexpected dirty sex, if she needs to assuage her guilt. I’ve already told my DW all of this.

If my DW was having a serious long-term affair and was in love with someone else, then yes, I’d want to know. I would want to be able to move on with my life.

Here’s my advice to people who may occasionally make a mistake: don’t get caught. Don’t blow up your spouse’s life. Don’t rope in any mutual friends or acquaintances, either as a sexual partner or as a witness to you out on the town with someone else. Don’t advertise yourself on dating apps. And don’t bring anything home with you.

Basically, protect your spouse’s health and reputation at all costs. The best way to do that is not to cheat. But slipping up is waaaaaay more common than any of us realize.[/quote]

Woman here, happily married for 28 years. I agree with all of this.

I am 52 years old. I like my life, my DH, our family, our home. I'm happy, he appears to be happy, he treats me well. I don't think he is cheating on me or has in the past. You think I want to throw all this away because DH has a fling? Jesus, what a waste of a good situation that would be. (And yes, I WOH and make enough money to support myself.)[/quote]

SAHM, yes, I would.  You aren't as happy as you appear if your husband is having an affair.  Yes, I would throw it all away as he doesn't love me and it sets a bad example for our kids.  [/quote]
