I call BS on your story. First of all, it's NOT harder to stay. It's harder to leave and start over. That's courage. Not staying with a man who has cheated on you and who has a family history filled with infidelity.

Hate that you are living a lie and coming here anonymously to tell people that you're so brave.

I'm not the stand by your man whatever he does type of woman.  I think in PP case it wasn't blind devotion that kept them married.  He admitted it to her, they separated, and eventually he got his stuff together and recommitted to the marriage including communicating better with his wife and letting her see his fears and feelings of inadequacy.  It sounds like he changed and she did too.  They went to individual therapy and couple counseling.  It didn't sound like pp was staying because she was scared about being divorced with two young kids (maybe I'm wrong), but rather because she thought there was something worth saving and DH was going to put in the work to build a stronger foundation.  Maybe I'm wrong but if he continued to stay with the other woman and cheat and/or wanted to get back together without admitting his faults and figuring out why he did it, I assume PP would have divorced him.[/quote]
