[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While I understand why some people have visceral reactions to cheating, most marriages involve infidelity.  Many people who have been cheated on have no idea their spouses cheated, and their marriages persist in blissful ignorance.

I would be far more pissed with my DW if she gambled away the kids 529 plan than if she had sex with some guy.  And while I understand that folks feel differently, I can't imagine that children prefer to live in divorced homes over intact families that have worked to overcome infidelity.[/quote]

You raise a valid point, in that there are actions that damage the household ($$$, standing in community, etc.) and actions that damage the relationship (cheating being one of the foremost, but general nagging/bossiness or taking for granted over years can be just as bad).

Gambling away the 529 is probably a worse offense on the household damage scale than a random one-night on a business trip is on the relationship damage scale. Now continual public cheating ... that's pretty damaging on both scales.[/quote]
