[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Presumably most people stand by whatever decision they made, whether to stay or go, after learning of their spouse's infidelity.  But I wonder whether any who left now think they acted rashly and wish they had just looked the other way.

I just always thought cheating was a dealbreaker, but I've been surprised by how many examples I've read on here of people choosing to stay.  And if you still love the cheater (even if you shouldn't) and love having an intact family unit, why should you have to lose that for someone else's misdeeds?  People say "so you can find someone who deserves you," but how many middle-aged women with kids find a second great love?

So are there some folks on here who took a principled stance and now secretly wonder whether they are really better off for it? [/quote]

One of my friends regretted handing over her husband to the other woman who practically manipulated and trapped him, instead of fighting for their family. [/quote]

I have to point out the obvious, which is that her husband is an autonomous adult. It wasn't up to the wife or the mistress to decide if he would stay or go (unless he wanted to stay and the wife wanted him to go, of course).[/quote]
